Australian Working Holiday Visa

The Australian Working Holiday visa offers young travellers aged 18-30 the opportunity to spend a year travelling around Australia, whilst supplementing their funds through temporary or casual work.

 First Working Holiday visas have to be applied for from outside Australia. Once the visa has been issued you have twelve months to enter into Australia. You are then permitted a stay of twelve months from your initial entry. Whilst on your first or second Working Holiday visa, any time that you spend outside of Australia will not extend the length of the Visa. If you would like to stay for longer, consider applying for the second Working Holiday whilst in Australia.

It usually takes around 48 hours to be issued your working holiday visa, however in some circumstances additional information may be requested before the visa can be issued.

You are permitted to undertake any kind of casual or temporary work. However, you cannot work for one employer for more than six months.

You will be permitted to study on your working holiday for a total of four months.

Australia has reciprocal working holiday agreement with the following countries:
