3. Where do I apply for my Working Holiday Visas?
You must be outside Australia when you apply online for your first Working Holiday visa and when the visa is decided.
4. Can I apply for a Student Visa after my Working Holiday Visas?
If you are already in Australia on a tourist or on a working holiday visa, you can apply for your student visa from within Australia. You can obtain a bridging visa if needed which will allow you to stay in the country while your student visa is in process. The Australian student visa will allow you to complete a course in Australia. You can book a language course, diploma or a degree course or any other course that you like.
5. Is it possible to extend the first Working Holiday Visa?
Working holidaymakers who have been employed in specified work in regional Australia for a minimum of three months will be eligible to apply for a second working holiday visa, allowing them to stay in Australia for a further 12 months, provided they continue to meet the working holiday eligibility requirements.
6. What are the restrictions while holding a Working Holiday Visa?
You are allowed to work for the full 12 months of the Working Holiday Visa (full time), however, you can only work for a maximum of 6 months with any one employer.
You can also study for a maximum of 4 months.
7. I just arrived in Australia and my English is really bad. Can I study in Australia on my Working Holiday Visa?
Working Holiday Visa holders are permitted to study or train for up to four months
8. I have a child. Can I still get a Working Holiday Visa?
Working holiday visa holders cannot be accompanied by dependent children at any time during their stay in Australia. So, it is possible to obtain a working holiday visa if you have a child, but your child cannot join you in Australia while you are on your working holiday visa
