A Subclass 600 visa (in the Tourist stream or Business Visitor stream) may be appropriate for an athlete, coach, judge or support sports person who is not receiving remuneration or a performance payment to attend a sporting event or tournament and is intending a short stay of less than 3 months in Australia.

A Subclass 600 visa (either in the Tourist stream or Business Visitor stream) is appropriate for amateur sports people, spectators and family travelling to Australia for sporting activities or major events. Athletes, coaches, judges, support people and officials are considered to be amateur if they:

are competing, training or participating without remuneration (or not receiving prize money that is equivalent to remuneration); and/or

For professional athletes, coaches, judges, support people and officials competing at the Australian national level of their sport, or in a major event or tournament, a Subclass 408 visa (on the basis of being an Invited participant in an event) or Subclass 400 (Temporary Work) visa are the appropriate visa options.

You may have to apply for the Temporary Activity visa (subclass 408), this temporary visa lets you come to Australia to participate in events which are endorsed by the Australian Government such as the FIFA 2023 woman world cup.

With this visa you can

travel to or stay in Australia to take part in the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) Women’s World Cup 2023 event
travel to and from Australia as many times as you want while the visa is valid.

If you want to take part in the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 event holding another Australian visa, check that the visa lets you do what you want to do. For example, that the visa lets you travel to and from Australia and gives you the right to work in Australia.
