Staged Closure of the Pandemic Event visa

The Australian Government has announced it is closing the Temporary Activity visa (subclass 408) Australian Government endorsed events (COVID-19 Pandemic event) – referred to as the Pandemic Event visa. See Closure of the Pandemic Event visa (homeaffairs.gov.au) 

From 2 September 2023, the Pandemic Event visa will only be open to applications from existing Pandemic Event visa holders. Pandemic Event visa holders will be able to apply for a subsequent visa after 2 September 2023 until the visa is fully closed by February 2024. 

All other visa holders will be ineligible for the Pandemic Event visa from 2 September 2023. 

More information on the closure is available in the factsheet below. The Department’s website is being updated to reflect the changes.
