If you are a Temporary Graduate (subclass 485) visa (TGV) holder in Australia, you may apply for and be granted a Pandemic event visa with a 2-year period of stay, instead of a TGV extension, if:

your TGV expires before 1 July 2023
you are not eligible to apply for a TGV extension on 1 July 2023
you currently have an unfinalised 408 Pandemic event visa application, and you held a TGV at the time you made that application.

You must be working in Australia or have an offer of employment, and apply within 90 days before your TGV expires, or within 28 days after your TGV expires.
