If a person’s current visa includes a ‘No Further Stay’ condition, and they wish to remain in Australia beyond their visa’s expiry date, a request to waive this condition must be made. Information on how to request a waiver can be found at:

For current temporary visa holders who cannot apply for a further substantive visa and cannot leave Australia and return home due to the current COVID-19 travel restrictions, the Department of Home Affairs of Australia has recently introduced a new visa. The COVID-19 Pandemic event visa is now available under the Temporary Activity (subclass 408) Australia Government Endorsed Event (AGEE) stream visa. Applications to the COVID-19 Pandemic event visa are free of charge.
