Visa Extension

[CharlotteDuns]

To extend my visa  (417) I know one of the requirements is to of worked for 2 employers no longer than 6 months.

 

I have worked for 1 for almost 6 months and I worked for a company for 1 day and got a payslip. Is this acceptable for when I extend my visa?

[VERYSTORMY]

first, is your work within the definition of the specified regional work? Second does it total six months? The department will be very picky and may refuse if you are even a day out.

I think you have misread the requirements (not you VS the OP ):

 

To apply for a second Working Holiday (Temporary) visa (subclass 417), you must:

• have complied with all the conditions on your first Working Holiday visa (i.e not worked for one employer for more than six months)
• 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.

which the op states they haven't.

The misread in that " I know one of the requirements is to of worked for 2 employers no longer than 6 months. "

If the first six months was valid regional work, then there is no requirement to do another job.  If the first six months is in a bar then the 1 day counts for nothing and she needs to find some regional work...
