The subclass 408 Temporary Activity Visa allows individuals to come to Australia to participate in a range of short-term activities such as cultural events, sports, research, training, religious work, entertainment and other activities. Depending on the nature of the activity, this visa allows a stay of up to two years up to four years for Australian government endorsed events. It offers flexibility across multiple streams and can be an ideal option for individuals contributing to Australia’s social, cultural, or economic development through temporary projects or programs. This visa does not always require employer sponsorship, especially in specific streams like cultural exchange or entertainment.

To be eligible for the Subclass 408 visa, applicants must be involved in a qualifying temporary activity. Depending on the chosen stream, they may need an invitation or sponsorship from an Australian organization or government agency. Applicants are also required to meet health and character requirements. Eligibility varies based on the stream—for example, applicants may need to be part of a sports team, a research project, or a government-endorsed exchange program. All visa conditions, including those set by the Australian Government and any sponsoring organization, must be strictly followed.

The cost of applying for a partner visa starts from AUD 415.00
