Coming to Australia For Sporting Activities?

We have extensive experience working with athletes, clubs and a range of sportspersons from various codes. Whether you are coming to Australia to train, play, or participate in an event, we are the visa and migration specialist to work with for absolute reliability and understanding, especially of competition deadlines and talent confidentiality requirements.

There is a visa pathway that allows you to play, coach, instruct or adjudicate for an Australian team, or do high level sports training with a sporting organisation.

With this type of visa pathway, you can:

take part in a structured sports training program at the national or international level
play for, coach, instruct or adjudicate for an Australian sporting team or sporting organisation for a season
travel to and from Australia as many times as you want while your visa is valid
include members of the family in your application

You and your family can stay in Australia for up to 2 years, and the length of stay is based on the activity you are approved for in your visa application. If you are overseas when the visa is granted, the visa stay period starts on the day that you enter Australia. If you are in Australia, the visa starts on the day that it is granted.

If you are a sportsperson participating at local or regional competitions, then you will normally be expected to depart Australia at the end of the sporting season although the maximum stay for this stream is for a 2 year period, with multiple entry meaning that you can leave and re-enter Australia as many times as you want while the visa period is valid.

However, you can't do any work other than the approved sporting activity you have come to Australia to be involved in.
