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
Great video man! Moved to Mel on a 417 in Dec 2022 - managed to get sponsored on a 482 and now just applied for PR under the 190. Wasn’t planned but Australia draws you in!
@@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 😂
I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and I’ve been looking into moving there but can’t afford the other visas right now so I’m looking into this one. While I’m working I’m going to live with his family and work and save up ☺️
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 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 :)
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, 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🙂
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 :)
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.
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
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
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.
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 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
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?
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.
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
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 .
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.
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.
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?
Please can you write me the name of the job-finding website please? I can understand you quite well except for the nouns. Do you know if is possible to work as freelancer? I’m a photographer, it’s much more simple to find jobs as freelancer then employ in my case
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?
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) 🙂

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
I was considering going to Australia and working there, but after hearing all those requirements it kind of changed my mind..
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 ?
Very good explanation
Hi! Thank you for the video!
What job recruiting agency do you recommend? Thank you!
Is it only for 6 months? What about 1 year and did you feel you could have applied for a job from the UK?

The point is Australia still shut down their door open…. 😭😭😭😭😭
Do we need make bank statement at least 3 months before? Or only bank reference writen have equivalent 5000 AUD?
I'm in croatia now, used to tell me how to come
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?
I have a criminal record…I got into a fight at 18 and now 25….would this effect me

I have 4k euros, I don't know how to show them that I have the money in the online application for this visa, will that lead to visa denial?

What's the name of the job recruitment agency/agencies?

Do you have to have the 5000 dollars cash with you or if I saw my sponers bank statement, is it okay too?
Did you go on your own? I really want to go just nervous about committing on my own.
Hi bro, love the video! How much money would you recommend taking that would last?? Thanks from Scotland
This video is really helpfull ! But i have one question . When you need $5000 before the apply visa or while u entering country ?
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.

Do south africans qualify for the Working Holiday Visa?

What happens after the third year if I wanted to stay in Australia 🇦🇺 even longer period I mean like many years to come
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?

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

Yeah of course it’s allowed
What is your major I wonder, you have a perfect and professional British accent like my tutor in Durham uni , love it soooomuch!
Hi, amazing video. Could u link us with the job recruitment agency u used? Appreciate it
do you think that if i apply right now and the borders arent open by the time they get back to me, i wouldnt be able to get in?
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!!
It’s it normal if have actions required health examen?! I don’t understand I have good health why they ask me that? Is it mandatory?? The visa
Is the 5000 still in place?! Can't find that anywhere?
Can you tell me what agent companies help you find a job?
