Visa

It is important to organise your first working holiday maker visa in your country of origin AND before you leave. It must be processed in your home country as all the necessary ‘behind the scene’ checks undertaken. Once you receive your first working holiday visa type then obtaining another visa for a different country can generally occur in the country you are living in at that particular time. In most circumstances you apply through the country’s consulate office that you are looking to next visit.

As this process will differ for each country be sure to allow as much time as possible for paperwork processing. As a general rule, start lodging paperwork 4 to 6 months prior to landing in your next destination. This ensures the visa application is completed before you depart and makes your transition to your new place of residence much smoother.
