Temporary Activity Visa Subclass 408 guidance

Support for eligible temporary activities, events, research, programs, and special-purpose stays in Australia.

The Temporary Activity Visa Subclass 408 covers different activity streams. Home Affairs lists streams for activities such as entertainment, research, invited social or cultural activity, and special programs.

Temporary Activity Visa 408

Fit & suitability

For specific activities, not general migration

Subclass 408 may suit applicants coming to Australia for a defined temporary activity, approved program, event, research involvement, cultural participation, or similar purpose.

Choose the right stream

The stream must match the activity

The application should clearly connect the applicant’s purpose to the correct 408 stream. Choosing the wrong stream can weaken the application.

Some activities may require sponsorship
Approach

Some activities may require sponsorship

Certain activity-based visas may require an approved temporary activities sponsor. Home Affairs notes that temporary activities sponsorship can apply to streams across 403, 408, and 407.
