Backpackers soon to be allowed up to 3 Working Holiday Visas

Upcoming changes to the Working Holiday Visa regulations will allow for up to 3 consecutive Working Holiday Visas to be granted per person in some cases.
(This is up from the current maximum of 2 Working Holiday Visas per person in a lifetime.)
Current regulations allow a Working Holiday Visa holder to apply for a second Working Holiday Visa if:
  • they were employed for at least 3 months in regional Australia while on their 1st Working Holiday Visa, AND
  • this employment was in certain specified industries.
As of 1 July 2019, the new regulations will allow a holder of a 2nd Working Holiday Visa to apply for 3rd Working Holiday Visa if:
  • they were employed for at least 6 months in regional Australia while on their 2nd Working Holiday Visa, AND
  • this employment was in certain specified industries, AND
  • this employment occurred after 1 July 2019.
If you think these changes may affect you, or would like to know more about the Working Holiday Visa program, contact Australian Life Migration for more information.
