  • Either be holding a visa that will expire in 28 days’ time or less, or was holding a temporary visa that expired no more than 28 days prior to lodging an application for a subclass 408 temporary activity visa
  • Be unable to apply for the same type of temporary visa you currently hold or held or any other type of temporary visa subclass besides the visa subclass 408
  • Your visa application must be due to workforce shortages in the aged care, public health or agriculture sectors, and certain other sectors, due to the COVID-19 pandemic
