Topic

Visas are a complex area of law and practice. This session will offer guidance and practical advice on navigating the Australian visa system, with a focus on key options available to religious congregations. We will explore the Temporary Activity – Religious Work Stream (Subclass 408) visa and the Training (Subclass 407) visa. Special attention will be given to the Student Visa (Subclass 500), highlighting its main requirements and the common challenges faced by religious members sponsored by their Australian province or congregation.
