    Just to give you guys an update. I submitted my 2nd WHV application on the 25th of October, through VisaFirst. I am on a bridging visa right now, still awaiting any response from the Australian Immigration. It has been over 4 weeks.

    Calling DIBP is hopeless. There is a minimum 1 hour cue, and many times they tell you that all information can be found on their website. I went to the office of DIBP, and they also said I should check the website or call them. Unfortunately I am unable to find this specific situation on the website of DIBP...

    Can someone please answer this question: - Having worked under the old legislation, does my work count for the new rules? My previous employer says he thinks it does not count. Because in the old system (before 1 July 2016) Norfolk Island had it's own taxation system; there was no income tax. There was also no super annuation. If you were unemployed you would get no money; hence there was no unemployment. I got paid in cash during my work on Norfolk Island. Now, after the 1 July 2016 changes, Norfolk Islanders DO have to pay taxes and get super annuation. Maybe that's why Norfolk Island is now included? Because of these reasons my previous employer thinks I am not eligible for a 2nd Working holiday visa.

    Some agencies say it is possible, other says it can't. I am preparing docs for the application and will submit asap. Will notify the outcome on this thread.

    In 2012 I did plantation work on Norfolk Island, which is part of NSW. I was working on my 1st Working Holiday Visa. After finishing my 1st WHV I wanted to apply for a 2nd, but unfortunately the immigration website showed regional postcodes to 2898 were valid. Norfolk Islands postcode is 2899, hence I was not able to apply for a 2nd working holiday visa. When I checked the immigration website today, it shows regional postcodes to 2899 are valid for a 2nd WHV. 1. Is Norfolk Island now included for a 2nd WHV? 2. Having worked under the old legislation, does my work count for the new rules? 3. Does this mean I can apply for a 2nd Working Visa? Regards, René
