Australia Working Holiday Visa: Answering your questions (2024)

[@louisaklimentos7583]

Two years gone already ! You have done a great job promoting Australia and I am so proud of your efforts . Keep up the great work that you do !

[@CouldBeSaladFingers]

Just to add, from 1st July 2024, if you're from the UK, you don't need to meet any specified work requirements to be approved for additional years (whereas previously you'd need to work a certain amount of days for the 2nd/3rd year) as long as you apply for your visa after 1st July for anyone starting this year :D

[@DainLuka]

YEP! such good news 🤩🤩🤩

[@tamasvanvonderen3315]

only UK??

[@Kamventures]

What if you applied at the beginning of the year but arrive after July?

[@CouldBeSaladFingers]

@@Kamventures Sorry, my original post was just a slightly bit incorrect! If it's your first year that you applied for at start of the year, you're all good to go literally tomorrow and not worry about the specific work (anybody who's first year started after 1st July 2023 won't need to do that farm work as it'll expire after the start date of the new rule) So yeah, you won't need to worry at all about getting them 88 days ☺️

[@CouldBeSaladFingers]

@@tamasvanvonderen3315 There was a new agreement back in May 2023 specifically between Australia and the UK so I'd only be able to currently say yes, but if you search your country hopefully something may have changed since then? 🤞

I'm from the UK, never travelled before, havent been on holiday in 9 years and after turning 29 a few days ago I made the decision to finally go for it and do a working holiday in Australia! Im so apprehensive and actually went through 'Global work and travel' just for ease, thankyou so much for your videos and guides Its been really informative (taking lots of notes) I'm heading there in October! So excited!!! I wish I did it years ago!

[@DainLuka]

this is amazing!!!! best of luck to your move. I hope you love it as much as I do :)

[@joshwalshoakesy583]

I'm thinking of doing exactly the same! And looking at global work and travel aswell, how have you been finding using them so far?

[@hollymiasaunders6404]

@@joshwalshoakesy583 Difficult to say until I'm over there of course but everything (so far) has been good! No complaints. Had the call a week or so ago from the Arrival concierge and she's been really helpful with answering questions and how things will work once I'm over there in the first week, they essentially hook you up with a job before you arrive and deal with setting up your bank account, tax numbers ect, all the important bits. They also will help with making sure you arrive with a group of others travelling so you aren't alone and they organise additional trips you maybe interested. I'm doing my own job hunting aswell because I'm trying to look for something more niche. I'm glad I didn't take their travel insurance, it was a bit on the pricey side so I recommend doing your research on that. It's very hand-holding so far which is what I needed in all honesty! I'll happily update you on this closer to the time but it's free to call them and talk about it before you even set anything in stone! So if you have any questions, definitely contact them! ☺

Hi mate, can a holiday working visa lead to a sponsorship by someone and is it easy to get permanent residency without a trade or family over there ?

[@kenzietrisk-grove7014]

I'm currently researching about the JENZA working holiday package to Australia. I'll be finishing college this year and Im still not sure if i will do it, but seeing your videos is definitely convincing me!

[@DainLuka]

DO IT! also you can totally do it on your own :)

[@Kamventures]

Thank you for sharing your tips and experiences. they're so helpful!

[@DainLuka]

Your welcome!! thanks for watching

[@lucypaffard7431]

Your so great! Thank you for these!

[@edsa1996]

Thank you so much for this video! I found it very useful and I feel even more motivated to go to Australia than I was before (and I was very excited)! First video I saw from you but it was great! Cheers!

[@DainLuka]

That’s great to hear ! Thanks for watching 🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@carolinacopesscarano9248]

Very useful video!

[@DainLuka]

Thank you!!

Hai mate I'm from the Philippines do you have any idea of when will be the start of intake of WHV between Philippines and Australia? Hope you'll notice.

[@MrConfusedcheese]

Solid advice mate, I just got my visa a few days ago and was planning on heading to Perth in February time and was wondering if that would be a good time to go? Also I applied for my 1st year working holiday visa with an Irish passport but I live in Northern Ireland so even if I didnt do the 88 days regional work in my first year as long as I used a UK passport for my second year it would be granted wouldn't it?

[@DainLuka]

Feb is a great time in Perth - Hot and just after the summer holidays! yep you can use a UK passport to apply for your 2nd and 3rd year!!

[@gal7560]

I'm considering on taking the WHV scheme, I've never been to Australia and my goal is to maximize my WHV time, get it renewed up to 3x, and hopefully make some money. I don't exactly know where to live and I'm not keen at travelling before I start working. As I will be looking for regional work to be eligible for a second WHV, do you think it's smart for me to stay in these areas first and look for work?

[@jcjplumbingandmechanicalse6792]

Can you have a permanent job on a working holiday visa

[@DainLuka]

Yes but can only work for 6 months due to the limitation !

[@nicholas4699]

hey man where can i contact for more information and detail im planning to go to australia when i graduate in 4 months im 18 years old i appreciate it if you can help me thankyou

[@DainLuka]

Hey man feel free to shoot me a DM :)

[@charlie-george]

I’m 34, turning 35 in December. How long could I extend my visa for? Does it just cap off as soon as I turn 35? I live in the UK. Thanks.

[@DainLuka]

Hey mate thanks for watching ! You’d have until the day before your 36th birthday to apply for your visas :)

[@jackpugsley9722]

Hi mate. Just wondering I’m from England and with the whole 88 day thing being scrapped would you recommend waiting till after July the 1st to apply for my visa? I’m looking at moving over in late august/early sep. thanks Dain.

[@DainLuka]

Thanks for watching mate!!. Nope you can go anytime before too as by the time your first year visa is finished the rules won't apply :)

[@fireopal4534]

Can a WHV 417 lead to a permanent visa for UK citizens?

[@TrentAlexanderArnold66LFC]

Hi mate what’s this visa? And have you found out if it leads to permanent residency

[@fireopal4534]

@@TrentAlexanderArnold66LFC it’s a work holiday visa. No it doesn’t lead to permanent.

[@TrentAlexanderArnold66LFC]

@@fireopal4534 can it lead to it? Can you get a sponsorship? I don’t know how it works
