Comments (2) So i know the only way to do this is to apply for the tourist visa when not in Australia.
Has anyone ever successfully done this? How (un)likely is it to be granted the visa? The Immigration Department is a bit unclear on all of that.
Thanks

My boyfriend and I plan on going to Australia on a working holiday visa in a year or so. We have read a lot about it, and the requirements etc. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips, or experience doing this themselves. Is it difficult? Does it take a long time? I am aware you need $5,000 AUD minimum per person in order to go, and that is why we are looking at next January to go, so we can save up. We would like to apply for a second year, and you need a minimum of three months working in agricultural/farming type jobs?
Any advice or tips or anything would be great!
Thanks

I’m from the UK so I have a choice of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Singapore, for which to apply for a working holiday visa. I want to go for a year before university, so I’ll be 18 if it makes any difference.
Canada, Australia and New Zealand all seem too ‘normal’ to me, and I think I’d rather go to Japan. Saying that, I can’t speak Japanese which makes it pretty hard to live and work, which leaves Singapore. It looks nice, but that’s it really, nice.
Has anyone got their own preferences? Why? Any particular cities in these countries that would make it more exciting?
I also have the option of any country in the EU, preferably Spain or Portugal; an easier option?
Cheers

I know this sounds like a stupid question but I understand New Zealand and Australia have visa agreements. I probably know the answer already but i’m trying to figure out a way to live in Australia because I don’t currently qualify for a working visa and have no family there. I plan on studying out there but it’s going to take some time to save money. I’ve already lived in Australia on a working holiday visa so can’t re-apply for one of those. Help!

I have been working in New Zeland on a casual basis under my 1 year working visa. When we did this in Australia after we had left we were able to claim back all of the tax we had paid whilst we were there. Do you know if you can do the same thing after leaving New Zeland and if so how?
Thanks

Hi, I really want to leave Canada and the snowing weather for a while, but I don’t want to loose touch with my career in interior design. I know that Working Holiday Visa’s only allow you to work up to 6 months at one job…so I was wondering what the best way was to find work in Australia for over the 6 months. I understand that I can get a working Visa that is good for 2 years, but you need a sponsor first. And when I look up jobs…and there are many in interior design, it says you have to have a valid Visa first. Can I apply to these jobs with a working holiday visa and then if I get a job, get my employer to sponsor me to get a Working Visa? I’ve been to so many web sites and I am totally confused. I just want to get to Australia knowing that I am secure with everything I need.
