Working holiday visas
A Working Holiday Visa in Australia enables young adults, typically aged between
18 and 30 (35 for select countries), to live, work, and travel in Australia for up to 12
months. This visa is ideal for those looking to experience Australia’s culture,
lifestyle, and natural beauty while funding their stay through short-term
employment.
There are two main types of working holiday visas:
- Subclass 417 (Working Holiday Visa) for eligible passport holders from
specific countrie - Subclass 462 (Work and Holiday Visa) for citizens of countries with separate
bilateral agreements.
Holders of this visa can extend their stay for a second or third year by completing
specified work, such as farm work or regional employment, for a minimum perio
during their initial stay. This program promotes cultural exchange and helps boost
Australia’s labor force, particularly in rural and regional areas
