Work and Holiday Visa Subclass 462

[Guest Armstrong]

I currently reside in the US, and want to get my WHV. However, when going through the immi.gov.au I'm told I need Subclass 462 WHV. Thats fine, except there is a note (in red) that reads:

[h=2]Working[/h]Work and Holiday visa holders are allowed to undertake any type of work on a temporary basis. You are allowed to work for up to six months with each employer.

Working beyond six months with the same employer, without the required permission, may result in your visa being cancelled and you may be required to leave Australia.

Note: It is not possible to qualify for an additional Work and Holiday visa by working in regional Australia. This option is only available under the Working Holiday visa.

Am I selecting the wrong one? Are people from the US not allowed to get the extension for regional work?

I've just done some further research, and it looks as if I can't apply for a second visa. I guess I'll be using my 3 months to travel more.

Only people on the Working Holiday Visa Subclass 417 can get a 2nd working holiday visa

I'm afraid it's correct - people from the US can't get the 2nd year extension.
