Working Holiday Visa

The Working Holiday visa (subclass 417) is a temporary visa designed for young adults aged 18 to 30 (or 18 to 35 for citizens of certain countries) who wish to travel, work, and holiday in Australia for up to 12 months.

Key features of the subclass 417 visa include:

1. Eligibility: Applicants must be citizens of eligible countries with a valid passport. They must meet health and character requirements and have sufficient funds to support themselves during their stay in Australia.
   

2. Work Rights: Holders of the subclass 417 visa are permitted to work in Australia for up to 12 months, but they may only work for the same employer for a maximum of six months.
   

3. Travel: The subclass 417 visa allows multiple entries into and exits from Australia during the validity period of the visa, enabling travelers to explore the country at their leisure.
   

4. Study Rights: Visa holders can undertake short-term study courses for up to four months during their stay in Australia.
   

5. Extension: Under certain circumstances, visa holders may be eligible to apply for a second subclass 417 visa if they have completed three months of specified work in a regional area during their first visa.
