LIN 18/077 specified, for paragraphs 408.229(b) and (c) of Schedule 2 to the Regulations, the event known as Supporting Innovation in South Australia as an ‘Australian Government endorsed event’ (AGEE) and classes of persons in relation to the event who may be eligible for a Subclass 408 (Temporary Activity) visa (Subclass 408 visa).
A person who is seeking to satisfy the primary criteria for the grant of a Subclass 408 visa must be a person to whom a clause in subdivision 408.22 of Schedule 2 to the Regulations applies.
Clause 408.229 will apply to a person if the person seeks to enter or remain in Australia to undertake work directly associated with an AGEE.
To meet this criterion, the AGEE must be specified in a legislative instrument made by the Minister for the purposes of paragraph 408.229(b) of Schedule 2 to the Regulations, and the applicant must be in a class of persons specified in the instrument in relation to the event.
