AmyC82 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hi everyone, I have done my own research on this topic but I was just hoping for clarification and if anyone could help I would be really thankful! I want to go to Australia on a working holiday Visa and have planned to go in January 2014... but in the next 2 weeks I will be 30 :arghh:. I have read before that I can still go to Aus on a WHV when I am 30, but should i apply now when I am 29 or can I wait until Im ready to go in Jan? Thanks!

CollegeGirl Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 From the first page on the WHV on the Immigration site: Important: You must have turned 18, but not turned 31, at the time of your visa application. So it looks like you can apply until you turn 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Fwiw, you can apply now and go in Jan 2014. Visa is valid for a period of time for first entry to Aus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyC82 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Thank you all for your help. I did think I had until 31 but I just wanted to check. I am thinking of going to either Adelaide of Perth in Jan. Im not sure which yet. Thanks again for all your help everyone! Amy xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britpop Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I applied a few days before my 31st and was granted after I had turned 31 however, don't forget that if you want to do a 2nd year, this needs to be lodged before 31 and you can't apply before you've done your works etc so don't leave that bit until the last minute (that's if you can even apply while still in your 1st year, I don't actually know) worth looking into if you're planning on it. I hadn't realised you needed to be under 31 to do the 2nd year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
