Vikki81 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hi all hope you had a good Christmas :smile:. I was wondering if there was any way for a person who does not hold an eligible passport on the list for 'working holiday 417' and 'work and holiday 462' visas to get a temporary visa to work and holiday in Australia other than the 457 visa. I have a few friends from Somalia who want to come on a short holiday to Australia - but also want to work while they stay here. Can you apply for work rights with a visitor visa ? Thank you Vikki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 No, you can't get work rights on a visitor visa. They'd need to apply for a working visa such as a 457, 189, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scattley Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 There is no other visa available for your friends. Their country is not one we have a relationship with so they can only come here on the more formal visas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzukiscottie Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Probably best for them just to have a nice HOLIDAY ! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
