408 – Temporary Activity Visa (Australia)

The 408 Temporary Activity Visa is a flexible, short-term visa designed for individuals who wish to come to Australia to engage in specific types of temporary activities. These activities can range from cultural and social work to entertainment, research, and sports. It is an ideal option for those participating in government-endorsed programs, community-based projects, or specialized professional events.

This visa is particularly popular among individuals who are invited by Australian organizations for short-term work that is not ongoing or permanent in nature. Examples include athletes attending international sporting events, academics taking part in research collaborations, or artists performing in cultural festivals. It is also used for religious workers, film crew members, and people involved in pandemic-related roles under government-endorsed initiatives.

The 408 visa streamlines the legal process for entering Australia for these specialized purposes, with visa durations varying based on the activity type and sponsor. Depending on the stream, applicants may stay in Australia for up to 3 months, 6 months, or even up to 2 years.

Common Streams of the 408 Visa:

• • Invited Participant in Events
  • Sporting Activities
  • Religious Work
  • Research Projects and Academia
  • Entertainment Industry Roles
  • Government-Endorsed COVID-19 Events (now phased out in most cases)

Eligibility Factors Include:

• • Proof of invitation or sponsorship by an Australian organization
  • Evidence of relevant qualifications or experience
  • Meeting health and character requirements
  • Clear purpose aligned with an approved stream

Our expert team provides full guidance throughout the 408 visa application process. We assist with document preparation, writing invitation letters (if needed), liaising with sponsoring organizations, and ensuring your application aligns with the Department of Home Affairs’ requirements.

Whether you’re an individual seeking to participate in a one-time professional event or an organization looking to bring in international talent for a project—we’re here to simplify the process and support you every step of the way.
