408 Visa Support

Application for AJF endorsement of Temporary Activities Visa – (sub-class 408 Sporting Activities)

Commonwealth legislation relating to temporary visas requires that any application for a temporary visa of this category be endorsed by the National Sporting Organisation (NSO) as recognised by Australian Sports Commission.

For the sport of Jujitsu (including BJJ/Ne-Waza) this is the Australian Jujitsu Federation (AJF). The AJF is also the internationally recognised body in Australia for Ju-Jitsu International Federation (JJIF).

Member Associations/Schools who are supporting a visa applicant should submit this Application for Endorsement. If your association or school is not a member then you must become a member.

You must provide true information with your application. We might refuse your application if you:

do not satisfy us as to your identity and details of the visa applicant; or,
provide bogus documents or information that is false and misleading in relation to your applicant’s visa application.

If you wish to proceed, please complete and submit the application form on this page.

Please note that if you are not a member school then it takes up to 4 weeks for your membership application to be approved. The HoS or delegate also needs to complete our Coach Accreditation course. In addition, the AJF board needs to satisfy ourselves that the application is legitimate. For these reasons, it takes at least two months to process a Visa Support application.

Should you have any questions please contact us.
