COVID-19 Pandemic - Australian Government Endorsed Event (AGEE) stream of the Temporary Activity (subclass 408) visa

Current as at 22 April 2020

To respond to COVID-19, the government has introduced flexible and temporary visa arrangements that support Australia’s public health measures. The Temporary Activity (subclass 408) Australian Government Endorsed Event (AGEE) stream visa (COVID-19 Pandemic event visa) is being utilised to manage the extraordinary circumstances that have arisen due to the COVID-19 pandemic event. The measure is temporary in nature, will be subject to ongoing review and will be wound back appropriately in line with the end of the pandemic. Who is eligible to apply for the COVID-19 Pandemic Event visa? The COVID-19 Pandemic event visa is available to people who are:

 in Australia

 are unable to depart Australia due to COVID-19

 have 28 days or less remaining on their current visa or where their last temporary visa has expired less than 28 days ago

 are not eligible for any other visa based on their intended activities or

 have evidence from their employer that they have ongoing work in a critical sector and that an Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident cannot fill the position.
