The Australian Working Holiday Visa is for people over 18 and under 31 who want to go to Australia for a year and have the right to work if needed. Go walkabout for a year and work as much or as little as you want! It's one of the best ways to get to know the country, the lifestyle and the people. Many people who go on working holidays like it so much that they  emigrate!

Criteria for a working holiday visa

To qualify for this visa you must satisfy the following conditions:

  • Hold a valid passport for your entire trip from one of the following countries: The United Kingdom, Canada, The Netherlands, Japan, Ireland, Korea, Malta, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Hong Kong SAR, Finland, Cyprus, Italy, Estonia, France, Belgium or Taiwan.
  • Be over 18 and under 31 years old.
  • Have no dependant children accompanying  you (if you have dependant children then contact us).
  • Have not entered Australia on a working holiday visa before.
  •  Have an onward ticket.
  • Have more than £2000 worth of savings (a lesser  amount  may  be accepted in certain circumstances)

There are 2 restrictions on this visa:
You may not work for a single employer for more than 6 months  or study for more than 4.

Working holidaymakers are permitted to stay for up to 12 months from date of initial entry to Australia. If you wish to extend your visa for a further year you can do so provided you do at least 3 months seasonal work in your first year, but that application must be made when you are in Australia, not the UK!
