Thank you for this Joel, I'm aiming to do my work visa next January and haven't been able to find a good video like this, they've all been influencer type videos but yours is very informative
@@Joelfriend I just want COVID to be done so I can go! Get me on a plane. The day were allowed to travel I’m hoping On the first flight I can find. I don’t care where it goes 😂
-This video is now (legally) out of date as new rules started 1st July 2024.... scheme is now for 18-35's and can be for 3-years without the 3-month work requirement each year (if you are a UK National)
Hi, you can have a criminal record. I have a speeding conviction which didn't lead to any jail time and was there. You can't have a "substantial" criminal record however, which means 12 months imprisonment or longer.
Age will be increased to 35 and UK passport holders will no longer have to do the regional work for a second or third year when this new trade deal comes into law
You can still be over 31! but not older than 36 for a working holiday visa it says on their website 'If you apply for the visa while you are 30 (or 35), but turn 31 (or 36) before we have made a decision, we can still grant you the visa' :) Just saying
@@Arnan37 rules have changed since that comment :) it’s better now. This is the website: immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/work-holiday-417
Great video! Can I ask more about the health check? Like how you got it? Does it have to be from an Australian approved clinic in your country? Thanks :)
Hi Joel! Thanks for your video and content. Its really useful information you provide. My question is if they accept your application before 31 or at 31yo? Thanks
Thanks so much for all your great and informative vibes!! Hopefully I’ll be able to go to Australia once they open up again… So you can only apply for such a visa once and then never again? Or did I just misunderstand that… and do you know if you could theoretically get a visa to move there for two years or so and work at one job, or isn’t that possible?
You can move for 1 year but can only be in 1 job for 6 months then you have to switch jobs, but if you do 3 months farm work you can stay for another year! Australia is open now toon
You can apply for a tax file number outside of Australia, depending on your circumstances. Far easier to apply in the country though. If you'd like help please let me know as I do work with the Australian Taxation Office :)
Great video, just one comment - You CAN apply several times. If you apply and don’t go, you can still apply after the visa expired later as long as you qualify🙂
Hi Joel! Thank you for such a helpful video, I had so many doubts. I just have one more question. Once I do the farm work for 3 months I have to do the second year immediately after or I can come back to the yo and moths after go back to Australia? Thank yooou
This is very helpful as I have plans on applying the working holiday visa. Just wondering is there any specific website to find the farm work to be able to stay for second year ?
Hey man awesome video! Seems like it’s possible to leave Australia with more money than you went in with if you got a farm job, what’s the odds off that without one?
Hello. I have a dilemma that I would like your advice on. I have booked a holiday for 2 weeks at the end of this year, but I'm now considering applying for the 491 visa now (This April 2023). I'm a British citizen, and I am 34 years old. The immigration website states that the processing time for the 491 visa is 17 months to 36 months. However I'm considering applying for the visa now but hoping I can apply for the 417 subclass visa in Jan 2024 when i turn 35 as the processing time is a lot quicker and I'll be able to look for jobs in all states and territories. Do you think I can apply for both visas, or is it best to decide what visa option I should go for after my holiday visit ends in Jan? I look forward to your reply. Thanks
hey man I'm Australian, my girlfriend is trying to get to Australia from France and is applying for the working holiday visa, do you know when the borders might open or loosen up, or if you can enter while they're closed?
Ahaha I have no idea, best off looking on Australian government website, I know Australia are very strict border especially at the moment with Covid, I would of thought it would be very hard to get in right now. But just my thought 😊
Keep watching ABC news and keep an eye on when you can get vaccinated. As soon as you can, get that jab. Keep checking your State Government health website. Our borders will not open until we reach herd immunity ( minimum of 80% of us vaccinated) at the moment Hunt is saying we will not open up until AT LEAST March of 2022. .But it could be December 2023 if we keep being put off vaccinating.
Great and useful video mate, was just wondering myself or if anyone in the comments knows how long it takes typically for 417 visa to get back to you before I apply? My plan is to go in September and it’s now mid June any ideas of when I should apply I was thinking mid to late July to be on the safe? Any help is greatly appreciated I’m from the uk myself.
Thank you for the video! A family friend is wanting to come on a working holiday visa. We said that he could stay with us and have a roof over his head whilst he’s here. Is this allowed?
First back packer place that I went to in Sydney the room stunk of feet. Me and my ex turned around and walked out. We went to a nice hotel. Then the second backpacker place was in Gold Coast. That place had bed bugs. I walked down the shops. Went in and bought new shorts and tea shirt. walked down the beach and dropped them in the sand. Went straight in and took clothes off under water. Then walked back out and put on clean clothes. The only way to be sure the bed bugs were gone. Viva la AUSTRALIA. Oh and I nearly died in the Yard river in Melbourne, and was nearly dead by midgets little insects Gold Coast. Everyone wearing jackets an me just arrived fishing night. Did not want to wear a coat. Kept slapping my skin. Later had more than a hundred huge bombs over me. Ex's father a doctor took me down the pharmacy and prescribe me drugs. Horrendous night. Dont do things Australians dont.
Au pairing is more Accommodation and food in return for work and you only get a small amount of pocket money each week rather than a base salary, but quite a few people do do it
Restaurants, bars and cafes are the most common working holiday visa jobs. I strongly advise you to do a Barista course (particularly valuable in coffee obsessed Melbourne) and do a course in Responsible Service of Alcohol, and if you can, Safe Food Handling. If you have cafe, bar or waiting experience already, you will walk straight into a job and will get as many hours offered to you as you can handle.
Thank you for such a helpful concise video! I plan on doing this some time in the next few years! Do you now if you do your first year when you are 31 can you do your second and third years 32/33?
I’m not actually sure, I have a feeling no, but go to the Australian government website on holiday working visas and all the information and criteria should be there! 😌
How long does it take to process? I’m Korean and mine is taking too long to process it’s been almost four months and there is no response what should I expect?
Very Informative Video, I would like to ask you if you have some information on it please share it with me. As Australia has Increased the age limit to 35 years for Canadian Citizen to apply for WHV , I am over 35 years age and close to 36 so will I be still eligible to Apply for this visa ? Thank you . Keep up the good work! 😊
Would that be okay to just do 3 months of farm work and work remotely as a digital nomad for the rest of the time? (assuming I would want to apply for a second year working visa) 🙂
If you want to find a bar job… is it not difficult to find one when you are only allowed six months in one company? Surely a lot of hospitality businesses don’t want to hire someone for such a short period of time.
Just got my 1 year working holiday visa I’m almost 35 years old British citizen planing to go aus sumner next year I will be 36 can I still apply for the second year if I’m 36 for the send years visa many thanks .
I'm applying for the visa and I hope they will grant it. Anyway, if I want to do the 2nd and 3rd, I heard that you can work for a job hospitality too. Is that right?
Hi thank you for the video! I’ll almost get my 88 days! In a short time I’m 31 years old (Belgium) Can i apply for a 2nd year working holiday visum? Maybe I’m to old? If they approve i will get 32 during my 2nd year Holiday. Hope someone can help me out of here :) Thanks a lot!
6montha regional work during the second year? So year one and two combined means you’d have done 9months of farm work by the time you apply for your third year?
From Indonesia, going to apply for Australia WHV, really thankful if u could answer some of my questions 1. Do I need to provide bank transaction for 3months? 2. Do I need to get return flight? 3. I'm currently unemployed right now, is it could be reason for my visa application to get rejected? Thank you soo much for your time
hello my friend im new subscriber your youtube hehe my friend i asking about tourist visa from austria to my aunt. how to easy way about for workig visa? i mean tourist visa or holiday working visa thanks
Is it flat out no criminal record, I broke the law at 15 and was giving a spent conviction that will not appear on Advanced DBS checks after I turnt 18 (I’m 20 now) and where I was reading I should be okay, I may just have to bite the bullet and apply

Hi, you can have a criminal record. I have a speeding conviction which didn't lead to any jail time and was there. You can't have a "substantial" criminal record however, which means 12 months imprisonment or longer.

Hiya mate, nice one for the all the information. Just wondering what did you do for work when you were out there?

Hi! Thank you for the video!
What job recruiting agency do you recommend? Thank you!
Great video, just one comment - You CAN apply several times. If you apply and don’t go, you can still apply after the visa expired later as long as you qualify🙂
Just a quick one, if you’re an O2 customer from the Uk they actually do contracts now that include Australia. I’m going there next year and have one.

I’m hoping to be there in less than a year from now, nice to see they’re changing the visa so no farm work and can extend for a third year from uk
This is very helpful as I have plans on applying the working holiday visa. Just wondering is there any specific website to find the farm work to be able to stay for second year ?
thanks a lot Joel! you almost answered everything people care and concern. what else common jobs could be found except farming?
Working in hostels, working in construction is very common too
Hi bro, love the video! How much money would you recommend taking that would last?? Thanks from Scotland

I'm thinking about going the Australia this summer! What recruitment agency did you use?
I don’t actually know the name of it now, but you should be able to look them up which ever area you are in
Hi Joel. I’m going to Australia in January on a working holiday visa. Just curious with travelling insurance at minute. Did you get some?
Travel insurance is always a good idea, one of the best tends to be World Nomads
Is it only for 6 months? What about 1 year and did you feel you could have applied for a job from the UK?
This is great information. How would it work for age 40 and over ?
excellent video! what about people from Latin America? we need another requirements right?
This video is really helpfull ! But i have one question . When you need $5000 before the apply visa or while u entering country ?
Thank you for the video! A family friend is wanting to come on a working holiday visa. We said that he could stay with us and have a roof over his head whilst he’s here. Is this allowed?
Yeah of course it’s allowed
Hi, amazing video. Could u link us with the job recruitment agency u used? Appreciate it
The point is Australia still shut down their door open…. 😭😭😭😭😭
Now with pandemic is possible get WHV? Are border open? thanks!
Not that I am aware of yet, but looking it up online or on the Australian goverment website may give you a better answer than me.
Did you go on your own? I really want to go just nervous about committing on my own.
What is your major I wonder, you have a perfect and professional British accent like my tutor in Durham uni , love it soooomuch!
What are the chances of me getting shot at? Compared to America

random question but in terms of having a job whilst you’re there, do a lot of people become an au pair for work?
Au pairing is more Accommodation and food in return for work and you only get a small amount of pocket money each week rather than a base salary, but quite a few people do do it
Restaurants, bars and cafes are the most common working holiday visa jobs.

Thank you for such a helpful concise video! I plan on doing this some time in the next few years! Do you now if you do your first year when you are 31 can you do your second and third years 32/33?
I’m not actually sure, I have a feeling no, but go to the Australian government website on holiday working visas and all the information and criteria should be there! 😌
If your from Ireland France or Canada you can get a WHV up to 35 any other country it’s just up to 30
Evy i applied and in same situation as you.. im still unsure of the answers but if your british the agw is going up soon
How long does it take to process? I’m Korean and mine is taking too long to process it’s been almost four months and there is no response what should I expect?

Keep up the good work! 😊
Hey man, who did you use for Travel Insurance?
Will I encounter an issue getting a WHV if I've recently changed address in the UK?
I’m not sure to be honest I’m not sure why it would though
I was considering going to Australia and working there, but after hearing all those requirements it kind of changed my mind..
Would that be okay to just do 3 months of farm work and work remotely as a digital nomad for the rest of the time? (assuming I would want to apply for a second year working visa) 🙂
Of course! All you have to do is the 3 months to get the 2nd year visa!
@@Joelfriend thank you very much!!
If you want to find a bar job… is it not difficult to find one when you are only allowed six months in one company? Surely a lot of hospitality businesses don’t want to hire someone for such a short period of time.
is there any way of working straight away once you arrive? rather than wait the 30 days for your tax file number? x
Go through a travel agency, they set you up with a job pre arrival or will lodge you until you find one usually
Thanks a lot what will happened after your 2 years or 3 years visa expire can you apply for permanent residency etc thanks .
Just got my 1 year working holiday visa I’m almost 35 years old British citizen planing to go aus sumner next year I will be 36 can I still apply for the second year if I’m 36 for the send years visa many thanks .

Do you have any tips for doing this in Canada?
I don’t worry, I’ve never been or worked there so wouldn’t know. Canada looks beautiful though!
Do you have to have the 5000 dollars cash with you or if I saw my sponers bank statement, is it okay too?
Just wondering if you had to fill out form 956a which is about the authorised recipient? Thanks
when does th 1 year valdity starts , can we choose ??

6montha regional work during the second year? So year one and two combined means you’d have done 9months of farm work by the time you apply for your third year?
Yes that’s right, the third year is new thing they have added recently it is a lot of farm work!
@@Joelfriend appreciate the clarification and speedy response! Planning on going 2022 once they lift the travel ban. 🤞🏼

1. Do I need to provide bank transaction for 3months?
2. Do I need to get return flight?
3. I'm currently unemployed right now, is it could be reason for my visa application to get rejected?
Thank you soo much for your time
No on all 3 questions; but you must be aware of the conditions on the gov site about the visa that applies to your specific case
I'm in croatia now, used to tell me how to come
Thanks for this video but im struggling, could you recommend some job sites to look for jobs in OZ?
I don’t actually know any jobs sites, the best way to find jobs is once you are in Australia’s that’s what I did!
