Australia Working Holiday Visa   

I have been to Australia on a Working Holiday visa once. Can I apply for a second Working Holiday visa for Australia?

Yes, but only in case you are 18 to 30 years old, do not have a child and have worked as a seasonal worker* in regional Australia** for a minimum of three months*** on your first Working Holiday visa.

To provide evidence of seasonal work, please click here and download "Employment Verification Form 1263" which must be completed by all employers you have done seasonal work with during your first 12 months stay in Australia.

*Seasonal work is any type of work that is undertaken as the employee of a primary producer.

**Regional Australia is any area outside of Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, the NSW Central Coast, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Perth, Melbourne or the ACT.

***Three months (88 days in total) is considered to be three calendar months. Time worked is taken from start date to end date e.g., if a person works for one employer for two weeks, weekends will not be deducted. Work must be full time. Full time work is taken to be the norm for that employer, that region and that industry. The work need not be paid work.
