COVID visa requirements
NOTE: You must be IN AUSTRALIA to apply for this visa.
To qualify for a subclass 408 – Temporary Activity visa under this pathway, you must:
- at the time of your application, hold a COVID-19 Pandemic event visa , OR have previously held a COVID-19 Pandemic event visa that expired within the last 28 days
- have evidence of your employment or an offer of employment
- if applicable, meet licencing and registration requirements
- have made adequate arrangements for health insurance during your stay in Australia

Step 1: Consultation
The first step is to schedule a video consultation with one of our Registered Migration Agents. During the consultation, we will assess your situation and your background. We may also assess your employer and their organisation to determine their eligibility.
Both the employer and employee may attend the initial consultation together if preferred, we offer convenient joint video or phone consultations.
Alternatively, we can schedule a time to contact your employer to discuss any queries that they may have.
Our fees for a subclass 408 AGEE COVID 19 Pandemic Event stream are $1,000 plus GST
We offer split fee payments to assist you financially during the preparation stages of your visa journey.
Step 2: Application Process
Once we have determined that you meet the relevant criteria, we will prepare and lodge your visa application with the Department of Home Affairs (the DOHA). Should your application be approved, you will be granted a temporary visa that allows you to work in Australia for up to 6 months.
PLEASE NOTE: We estimate that it may take several weeks to prepare and lodge your application, with the time taken largely dependent on how promptly you provide us with the necessary information and documents. The time that it takes the DOHA to process your application is dependent upon its processing time service standards, and may also vary due to a number of other factors, including the complexity of your case, perceived risk factors and processing priorities.

Here's what our clients have to say about us
ExcellentBased on 160 reviewsHoa Tran23. January, 2024.My PR journey through SC 191 ( Regional Provisional Stream ) has finally ended with a desired outcome thanks to Christine's dedication and professionalism. Christine was super attentive, dedicated and extremely swift in communications, making visa application process as stress-free as it can be. Once again, I can not thank Christine enough for assistance and support in achieving my goal to become Australian permanent resident, and I would definitely recommend future applicants to seek immigration services from Christine in particular and Migration Unity in general.Dan Mason22. January, 2024.From start to finish, Taina and the team at Migration Unity made the application process an stress-free and seamless experience. Taina was always able to answer any complex questions and went above any beyond to provide prompt assistance when required. We worked to a tight schedule with my visa expiring yet the team were well organised to ensure that everything was in perfect order regarding the application before submitting to the department. The visa was eventually lodged ahead of schedule and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome - approved only 47 days after lodgement. Would highly recommend this superb, professional service to anyone. The levels of customer service provided are 10/10. Thank you Taina and all the team at Migration Unity!Ben Cook19.
