The Australian working holiday visa scheme provides a fantastic opportunity to travel round Australia, whilst earning money to subsidise your holiday.

The Australia working holiday visa allows a stay of up to 12 months. You are allowed to work to subsidise your travel when entering under Australian working holiday visas. However, you may only work for an individual employer for up to 6 months. You may also study or train for up to 4 months using your Australian working holiday visa. There is also the opportunity to extend Australia working holiday visas for up to another 12 months by completing 3 months seasonal work during your first 12 months.

There are certain criteria you must meet to be eligible for an Australian working holiday visa. You must be aged between 18-30 at the time of your application, and hold a valid passport from one of the following countries:

Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Taiwan or United Kingdom.

You must also have no dependent children to be eligible for Australian working holiday visas. All applications for an Australia working holiday visa must be made from outside Australia.  Finally, there are certain health, character, and financial requirements that may affect your application for Australia working holiday visas. (Please follow links for further information.)

The application process usually takes around 48 hours. However, in some situations it may take longer. Once Australian working holiday visas have been issued, you have up to 12 months to activate the visa by entering Australia. From the date you enter under an Australian working holiday visa you may stay in Australia for 12 months. You may leave and re-enter Australia as many times as you wish during this time.
