Working Holiday visa Australia
For people between 18 and 31 years

Down Under for an unforgettable adventure? Go backpacking in Australia!

People between 18 and 31 years of age are able to stay in Australia for a period of twelve months on a Working Holiday visa. Not only can you travel through Australia entirely, but you are also allowed to have paid work. One condition applies: you cannot work for one employer for more than six months if you don’t have the permission from Immigration Australia. Furthermore, you can study up to four months.

Besides the chance to get to know the country, this visa also offers you the chance to discover your options within Australia’s labour.

We can apply for this visa up to your 31st birthday. Provided that you weren’t granted this visa before or if you can satisfy the requirements for a second year.

Important note:
Great news for Canadian citizens! Starting 1 November 2018, you can apply for a Working Holiday visa up to the age of 35, giving you more time to explore and work in Australia. This age extension is a fantastic opportunity, as it offers a broader window compared to the 30-year age limit for citizens of other countries.

Second-year Working Holiday visa

You may be eligible to apply for a second-year Working Holiday Visa for Australia, offering you even more time to explore and work! One of the requirements is to demonstrate that you’ve worked for at least 88 days in a specified, paid position in a regional area of Australia.

Just like the first Working Holiday visa, the age limit for this second year is 31.
