Visa Stream (subclass 407/408)

Yes! The experienced lawyers at Solve Migration can help you navigate all aspects of the Subclass 407/408 application process.

You can submit your own application for the Subclass 407/408 visa. However, you will need to clearly understand Australian migration law and relevant regulations, as a mistake could cost thousands. If you plan on self-submitting your Subclass 407/408 application, we recommend getting a professional document check to ensure your materials comply with application requirements. If you’d prefer an expert to submit your visa application, our lawyers are happy to help.

For this visa, the standard cost for a primary applicant is $325 AUD. However, certain Australian Government endorsed events may be exempt from fees. You may also be required to pay other costs associated with health checks, police clearances, biometrics, and other selection criteria.

You’ll only be charged if the Department of Home Affairs grants the visa. Please reach out to us if you need help estimating the complete visa cost for you and your family.

Please note that you will need to enter Australia before the last date specified on your Visa Grant Letter.
