lebourvellec Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Welcome to PIO It is $5000AUD that you require each which is about £3000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieF8 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Have a look here for some info http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday/417/ As for finances, this is direct from immi Financial requirementsYou must have access to sufficient funds to support yourself for the initial stage of your holiday. Generally, AUD5000 may be regarded as sufficient, but the amount may vary depending on your length of stay and the extent of your travel. You should also have a return or onward ticket or the funds for a fare to depart Australia. You may be asked to provide evidence. Evidence may include a certified copy of a bank statement and an air ticket out of Australia. You can 'get round' that though, pay some money into your bank, request a statement, once you have the statement withdraw the money and pay it back to whoever you got it off You might not get work staight away and you still need money for food & drink and so on, so its best to try and save the money and go with a few quid on your pocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfastjellyfish Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 hi thanks for reply, so we do have to each do a seperate application even though we are defacto?, and £3000 sounds good as we would only need another £1000 to go then.

StevieF8 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Yes, each person has to apply and meet the criteria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
