How does the Temporary Work – Short Stay (400) Visa work?

A Subclass 400 Visa allows you to carry out short-term, highly specialised, non-ongoing work within Australia. In limited circumstances, you can participate in an activity or work relating to Australia’s interests. You can include and bring your family with you. Usually, you will need to be invited or sponsored by an Australian business or organisation and to show that the work you will be completing is specialised and non-ongoing. You will need to demonstrate that you have the qualification and experience to complete the specialised work. You will usually need to demonstrate that the activity is likely to be completed within 3 months. A stay of up to 6 months may be considered where there is a strong business case. The scope of what the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) will accept as Specialised Work is considered on a case by case basis and can cover a broad range of projects.

“The Immigration Gurus made the journey to permanent residency a breeze. Because I work and live in a remote area of Australia, I haven’t had the chance to meet the Guru team in person yet. However, the support and effort they provided during my immigration application was much appreciated. I highly recommend their services.”
