457 Visa

Is there any way I can apply independently for a 457 visa without a
sponsorship. My 457 visa was approved last year, but then my sponsor pulled
out. Do I have to have a sponsor?

A 457 Visa is a sponsored visa.
If you don't have a sponsor, you don't have a visa.

You can apply independently but it's a different immigration stream. You
wouldn't get a 457 visa, but another type.
You'd have to apply as a skilled worker, which is a different stream,
with a point system. You have to have a minimum of points (I think 100)
to apply. Reaching 100 points doesn't mean your application will be
approved.

Good luck
