Skani Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 These are the official requirements from the government website. Nothing about New Zealand. https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/417-# Second Working Holiday VisaTo apply for a second Working Holiday (Temporary) visa (subclass 417), you must: have complied with all the conditions on your first Working Holiday visa have not previously held more than one Working Holiday visa have completed three months of specified work in regional Australia while on your first Working Holiday visa have not yet turned 31 years of age.

Marisawright Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Australia and New Zealand are totally separate countries so I'm afraid whoever told you that is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam13 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 the rules state if you can climb mount cook in flip flops you are worthy of a second year visa.. ( please do not climb mount cook in flip flops I'm an ass and the only Thing you will get out of it is frost bite and a few less toes) should have stuck it out unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannysavagelfc Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 U cant do a second year as im aware anyway, u can extend your initial year making it 2 years but dont think u can do a second year down the line! I may be wrong tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippy79 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 U cant do a second year as im aware anyway, u can extend your initial year making it 2 years but dont think u can do a second year down the line! I may be wrong tho your second year you can do later, I know people that have travelled home first and applied for there visa several years later.. to OP'er, the answer is NO, you need your 88 days done in Australia otherwise it'll only be the one year visa!
