Temporary Work (International Relations) Visa (Subclass 403)
The Temporary Work (International Relations) Visa (Subclass 403) is designed to allow individuals to work temporarily in Australia under specific circumstances related to international relations. This visa is divided into three distinct streams:
- Government Agreement Stream: This stream is for individuals visiting Australia temporarily under agreements between the Australian government and foreign governments or organizations.
- Foreign Government Agency Stream: Allows representatives of foreign governments to reside temporarily in Australia without being granted official status.
- Domestic Worker Stream: This stream enables domestic workers employed by holders of the Diplomatic (Temporary) Visa to live and work in Australia temporarily.
Each stream has its specific purpose, helping people involved in diplomatic, government, or international relations-related activities gain temporary access to Australia.
Key Highlights of the Temporary Work (International Relations) Visa (Subclass 403)
- Temporary Stay for Specific Projects: This visa allows you to enter Australia temporarily to carry out specific tasks or projects outlined in your visa application.
- Travel Flexibility: While the visa is valid, you are allowed to travel back and forth between Australia and your home country, offering you the flexibility to manage your commitments.
Key Eligibility Requirements for the Temporary Work (International Relations) Visa (Subclass 403)

- Health and Character Requirements: All applicants must meet the Australian government's health and character standards. This is to ensure that applicants do not pose any risk to Australian society.
