What is a COVID visa?

The COVID-19 pathway of the subclass 408 – Temporary Activity visa allows you to temporarily remain in Australia if you work (or have an offer to work) in any sector. This visa is valid for up to 6 months.

From 2 September 2023 to 31 January 2024, only existing COVID-19 Pandemic event visa holders are eligible for a COVID-19 Pandemic event visa.

The COVID-19 Pandemic event visa will close to all applications on 1 February 2024.


If you apply on or after 2 September 2023:

  • you will have to pay a Visa Application Charge (VAC).There is also a charge for each family member who applies for the visa with you.

  • your visa will have a period of stay in Australia of up to six months if granted.

If you applied before 2 September 2023, your visa will have a period of stay in Australia of up to 12 months (or up to 2 years for TGV holders) if granted.

The minimum requirements for this visa are as follows:

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
  • meet the relevant health and character requirements

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.

Spoke with Matthew today who was really able to help with the ins and outs of my application since immigration had no idea. Looking forward to seeing how it all goes. Gives me confidence knowing someone who’s been dealing with partner visas since 2007 is able to give some sound advise.

We couldn't be more happy with the experience we have had working with Migration Unity and in particular, Taina Silva, who we couldn't recommend more highly. Right from the outset when applying for our Partner Visa, she was incredibly professional and helpful with everything and then throughout the whole process of applying for our partner visa, she was fast at responding, very well organised with informing us of what we needed to do and compiling evidence for us. Her communication skills with us were second to none which made the process much smoother than it otherwise would have been. She was always on hand to answer any questions we had and was extremely knowledgeable about everything. All of this combined meant Taina made an otherwise extremely complicated and stressful process so much easier. We cannot speak more highly of her and the service provided and will most certainly not think twice about doing our 801 Permanent Partner Visa application with the assistance of Taina. Superb in every way - thank you.
