An Overview of the Subclass 400 Visa Australia
It's a short stay specialist visa that allows you to travel to Australia for specific tasks. This short stay temporary visa is perfect for completing short projects easily. Officially known as visa subclass 400, it grants you a set stay period to finish your assignment. As long as you hold a valid visa, you can safely fulfill your duties in Australia. Visa holders can stay up to six months. You can apply for an Australian Visa 400 extension in certain cases to extend your stay for up to three months. Sometimes, authorities issue a multiple-entry visa if your role is beneficial for the country.
