Athletes & Coaches

There's a visa for what you do.

Most athletes and coaches we speak to had no idea. They'd assumed a working holiday visa, or nothing at all. If you're coming to compete, coach or train with an Australian club or organisation, there's a pathway built for exactly that.

Eligibility

Who this is for

Trial or season

Athletes

You've got a club interested, a trial lined up, or a season you want to be here for. We work backwards from your dates, not ours.

Coaching & teaching

Coaches

Coaching, teaching, or running a programme. Australia has clubs, academies and schools looking for people who can do what you do.

Sponsoring from overseas

Clubs

Signing someone from overseas? We handle your side of it too.

We ask the questions nobody else asks.

When your season starts. Who your club is. Whether you have a contract or a conversation. How long it will realistically take, and whether that works with your dates.

Talk to Nexo
"I didn't know this visa existed. I came in assuming there was no way for me to be here, and they showed me a pathway I'd never heard of, and explained it in a way I actually understood. Whatever I asked, I got a straight answer."

What we handle

Everything, start to finish

Your side

Visa preparation & lodgement

We prepare, review and lodge every form. Our registered migration agent signs off every case before it goes.

Club side

Guiding your club

If your club has never sponsored anyone before, we walk them through every step. Most haven't done this. That's fine, we have.

Timeline

Working backwards from your dates

Seasons, trials and events don't move. We plan around your calendar, not the other way round.
