408 COVID visa for two years

If you are a Temporary Graduate (subclass 485) visa (TGV) holder in Australia, you may apply for and be granted a Pandemic event visa with a 2-year period of stay, instead of a TGV extension, if:

- your TGV expires before 1 July 2023
- you are not eligible to apply for a TGV extension on 1 July 2023
- you currently have an unfinalised 408 Pandemic event visa application, and you held a TGV at the time you made that application.
