Joined: Apr 05, 2018
1. How many days can a 457 visa holder go on paid vacation out of Australia? Can he/she extend the vacation without pay? If so, how many more days are allowed?
2. What documents should the 457 visa holder provide in case he/she goes on vacation to ensure his/her visa would not be cancelled?
3. What necessary steps should a sponsor /employer of the 457 visa holder do/provide to ensure no breach in sponsorship obligations?
4. Are there any legal documents / links to support these? Thank you po.

1. This depends on the company you're working for. 457 visa holders are entitled to multiple entry to and from Australia as long as you are being sponsored which would obviously make your visa valid. Again, the pay will depend on your employer. There are factors to consider like how many months or years have you been with the same employer? are you entitle for an annual leave yet? You can always extend you're leave provided you still have some left. If not, then you might opt for an unpaid leave.
2. Just carry with you the visa grant details. They will not ask for it though, but just for your peace of mind in case the system fails (which doesn't really happen). All you're details will pop-up in the immi officer's screen as soon as they scan your passport.
3. Not every company in Australia can sponsor. It is determined if your business meets the training benchmarks, financial capability and if the company is lawful. If at any point, you feel like there is a breach with how the company "treats" you, then by all means, you have the right to report that company to DIBP. These businesses are always monitored by DIBP.
4. Legal documents? Please check this link. Under sponsors tab. Everything that you need is in there.

Question: Allowed ba ako umuwi mag-isa sa atin for short vacation na hindi kasama si husband? Anong documents po kaya yung kailangan ko i-secure aside from visa & marriage contract para hindi ako harangin pag paalis na ng PH?
Kakatanggap lang din po pala sa akin sa work dito, will I be able to get an OEC na rin kaya? Thank you very much.

Di man daw required ang CFO kasi di naman daw PR/emmigrant... di rin saklaw ng POEA kasi dependent lang naman. Finally, I got hold of someone from immigration in NAIA and got the assurance na wala namang magiging problema. Aware naman daw sila ng ganung visa subclass.
So I think you will not have any problem pag-uwi mo.
Regarding your OEC, pwede naman pagbalik mo na lang ayusin. May procedure naman sila dito sa embassy to process that.
