SUPERSTARDJ01 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Hi all, myself and family are moving to qld this year, but my daughters boyfriend is going to follow us to qld but on a WHV, how easy is the application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Provided he has no criminal convictions, it's usually straightforward and comes through in less than a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Agree with the above. Please keep in mind if he wants to qualify for his second year WHV to allow him to remain after his year is up, he will have to do the regional work somewhere. It would probably be better to get that out of the way early on rather than leaving it till he is settled in an area or the year is winding down. It can be a struggle to find decent regional work that can be signed off on and many people are out trying to secure it. So if he is organised and gets it done early, he can then sit back and relax a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're moving to regional qld so that's one thing out of the way but what regional work would he have to do? how long for to be signed off? & who signs it off?

VERYSTORMY Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 IT is mainly things such as farming, but it does list them ion the homeaffairs.gov.au web site. Be aware there is new guidance on application processing which has increased from a matter of hours (I had my sons processed in less than a day) to 28 to 56 days so allow a couple of months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holly molly, what are they doing in the visa department in oz? Everything seems to take months or years, the uk takes days, in fact the uk process most of theirs in 48hrs.

Yes, the info is on the Gov website. It explains it all and lists the work that can be undertaken etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is a straightforward application it is usually pretty quick.

Jim911 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Me and partner applied for WHV earlier this year. Hers was done and approved within 4 minutes (I am not joking, I can show you the time stamps) Mine took a little over a week. So it may vary. Hope this helps a bit.
