Covid Visa 408 Subclass
Temporary visa holders with work privileges can apply for the COVID visa 408 subclass for a term of 6 or 12 months without paying a Visa Application Charge if they work in any sector of the Australian economy. The administration has taken this step to help the economy recover from the effects of Covid-19. Australia's unemployment rate is at an all-time low, and businesses across all industries need competent employees to fill critical positions. As a result, in order to retain migrant workers and improve the economy, the government has lifted the restrictions on the Covid-19 Pandemic Visa's sector eligibility.
