Australia Working Holiday Visa

Australia working holiday visa is for people who have not turned 31 yet and who want to spend a year down under, travelling around.

So you are young and want to see Australia?

It’s far from most other countries, not easy to find a cheap flight to Sydney, but you get to see so many amazing things.

It is an experience that is worth spending one or two years away from your home.

And there is a way to get around the costs - you can work and support yourself while you are there.

Here is how we understand this visa works. For the up-to-date, official and detailed information visit the department of immigration website: www.immi.gov.au

This visa is not for everyone:

• you need to have a passport from an eligible country participating to this program,
• you need to have enough money to get you started,
• and also have a return ticket or money to buy one.

Australia Working Holiday Visa -
What You Can Do

• You can stay in Australia for a year.
• You can visit around the other exotic countries in the south Pacific or elsewhere and come back as many times as you want during the validity of your visa.

  To have the latest updates about your entries back, check with the department of immigration Australia before leaving the country.

• You can study for a maximum of 4 months.
• And the best of all you can work, get experience and fund your lifestyle. You can work with the same employer for 6 months.

What You Cannot Do

• Once you have worked 6 months with one company, you cannot stay, you have to move on and find work with another one.
• You cannot tap into the medical insurance national scheme, which covers the residents, so get health and travel insurance.
• You cannot bring your family and children with you. Your partner can apply for their own work and holiday permit.

  If you want your kids around apply for a tourist visa, but this won't allow you to get a job to help fund your trip.

But there’s more about this working holiday visa.

Travel, get employed in regional areas and apply for a second Australia work permit to help pay for your holidays for another year.
