Hi are there any specific requirements for a 457 visa similar to other visa like 175 or 176 where you have to bring certain amount of money with you.

No, there isn't though you should bring enough money with you to help you meet the initial expenses such as rental deposit, new furniture etc and also to get you through the first couple of weeks until your first pay day.

hi!! i'm on a 457 as well and only 3 weeks in Perth, i suggest be prepared financially as you come over. If you could set up a bank account before you arrive much better. You'll find it quite expensive at first until you get used to everything. Like what was mentioned you have to get an accommodation - i got a single bed apartment for 270/week and it was unfurnished. i spent almost 2K for the furniture and appliances. At first a bit shocking but it's beautiful here!!!!
