PERMISSION例外に当てはまらない場合——許可の申請

上記の例外に当てはまらない場合、同一雇用主のもとで働けるのは最長6か月までです。ただし限られた状況では、6か月を超えて働く許可を得られることがあります。

許可される条件

申請方法・その他

ORIGINAL (EN)If you submit a request for permission to work longer than 6 months for the same employer, we may give you permission if you: have applied for a visa allowing ongoing full time work and are awaiting the outcome of your application; or undertake work that is critical to your employer and have attached a supporting letter from your employer to your request. If you meet one of the above criteria, you can apply by submitting the online form "Permission to work longer than 6 months". The permission will cover the remaining period of stay on your WHM visa if you are exempt from this condition or we give you permission. The 6 months start again with the grant of a new WHM visa, or when a Bridging visa with condition 8547 attached to it comes into effect. If you have already submitted a request, you can continue working until you get a written decision. If you submit your request after the six months ended, you must stop working for the same employer and wait for a decision before continuing work.

DEFINITION「同一雇用主(same employer)」の意味

ここでいう「雇用主」とは、あなたが直接働く相手の事業体・組織を指します。

ORIGINAL (EN)The 'employer' is the business or organisation for which you are directly working for. If any agency or labour supplier refers you to a business, you can work for six months for that business. The same agency or labour supplier can refer you to another business where you can work for another six months. You cannot stay in the same position in the same location with the same employer for more than six months by using different employment agencies, business affiliates or sub-contracting arrangements. We consider workplace-based training as work. You are able to take workplace-based training with the same employer for up to six months.

SELF-EMPLOYED自営業(self-employment)の場合

自営業の場合、条件8547における「雇用主」はエンドユーザー(実際のサービス提供先)です。同じエンドユーザー(=唯一の雇用主とみなされる)に6か月を超えてサービスを提供してはいけません。ただし、例外に該当する場合、または書面での承認を得た場合は除きます。

エンドユーザーが唯一の取引先でない場合は、そのエンドユーザーや他の相手に6か月を超えてサービスを提供しても条件8547違反にはなりません(例: 複数の顧客を持つ在宅サービス、複数の小売業者に卸す生産者など)。

ORIGINAL (EN)If you are self-employed, your employer for the purposes of condition 8547 is the end user. You must not provide services to the same end user (considered your sole employer) for longer than 6 months. This applies unless your work falls within one of the exemptions, or you have obtained written approval from us. If the end user is not your only employer, you can work for them and others for more than 6 months without breaching condition 8547. For example in-home services with multiple clients, or a growers who supply several retailers.

COUNTING6か月の数え方

6か月は働き始めた日から起算します。次のすべての働き方が対象です。

これは働いた時間数や日数ではなく、働き始めてから経過した月数で判断されます。条件は各ビザごとに個別に適用され、ブリッジングビザも含みます。つまり、新しいWHMビザが発給されたとき、またはWHMビザの結果待ちでブリッジングビザが開始したときに、6か月の上限は再びゼロから始まります。

ORIGINAL (EN)The 6 months starts from the day you start work: full-time, part-time, casual, shift, voluntary work. It is based on the number of months that have passed since you started working, not how many hours or days you have worked. The condition applies to each visa separately, including bridging visas. This means the 6 months work limit starts again when we grant you a new WHM visa or when your bridging visa starts, while you wait for a WHM visa decision.

BRIDGINGブリッジングビザ保持者

条件8547の付いたブリッジングビザを保持していて、その効力中に同一雇用主のもとで6か月を超えて働きたい場合は、条件を外すために新しいブリッジングビザA(BVA)を申請する必要があります。就労の切実な必要性(compelling need to work)を示せた場合、新しいBVAから条件8547が外されることがあります。

ORIGINAL (EN)If you hold a Bridging visa with condition 8547 attached to it, and you wish to work longer than 6 months for the same employer while your Bridging visa is in effect, you will need to apply for a new Bridging visa A to remove the condition. If you show a compelling need to work, we may remove condition 8547 from your new Bridging visa A.
