debbie lawrence Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hi everyone wonder if anyone can help, my daughters here on her first year whv which is up in September, she's going to apply for her 2nd year but is going backpacking round Europe with her Aussie boyfriend, if she applies does it run straight after this one runs out, is she better going to Europe and then applying for the second year? They have already booked flights to Madrid for the end of this visa. Thanks for any advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misskayleigh Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Has your daughter completed her 88 days rural work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbie lawrence Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Sorry thought I replied - not sure what happened lol. Yes she has done it and the forms all signed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misskayleigh Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Ah that's good. :-) No she doesn't have to use it consecutively but she needs to be outside Australia when the visa is granted, if applying from outside Australia or be in Australia when the visa is granted, if applying from in Australia. That bit can get technical as if she is inside Aus then the visa will automatically activate. It happened to my cousin and she ended up being only able to use 3 months of her visa. Hope this helps :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbie lawrence Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 Sorry I didn't thank you sooner, we've been away, I will let her know, it'll probably be better for her to apply when she's away in Europe/uk, thanks a lit for the reply it will hopefully mean she won't waste any of the 2nd year by being out of the country thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungo Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 She does not need to be outside Australia for the second WHV application (that applies only to the first). But if she does apply before she goes it effectively makes it a 24 month visa so yes it will carry straight on. So to conclude, she should apply whilst she is away and closer to the time she wants to come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bell123321 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 My friend did her year and then went travelling in Europe and then went back to the UK applied for work in UK to save some more funds to fund her second working holiday. So as long as she applies from outside of Australia then she can re-enter later after her trip to Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
