Australian Working Visa - Short Term (Canadians, British & Europeans)

I've got two questions for you: 1) are you interested in a short working holiday in Australia?

2) do you have a passport from one of the following countries: Belgium, Canada, Republic of Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Republic of Ireland, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Taiwan or the United Kingdom?

If you answered yes to both questions, you should read on, as this is the working holiday visa for you! (If you have a passport from the United States of America, Chile, Thailand or Turkey, you should look into this visa instead).

The official name of this visa is the "Australian Working Holiday Visa (Subclass 417)".

It allows you to work in Australia for 12 months, but not for more than 6 months at the same employer. (Two lots of 6 months at two different employers is perfectly fine).

The visa can be extended to 24 months if you do at least 3 months of seasonal work in your first 12 months.

Seasonal work includes picking fruit, tree planting, working on a farm or in a fishery or a dairy.

Note that you must be between 18 and 30 years of age inclusive. (30 is ok, 31 is not). You must also be in this age range to renew this Australian working holiday visa.
