How long does it take to get a visa?

It typically takes between seven and ten working days to get an Australian working holiday visa confirmed, although they can be processed much more quickly than this. Five days of this is administration time at the Australian embassy, two days is admin processing and from there your working holiday visa will be emailed to you immediately. We advise giving yourself as much time as possible before applying and travelling… you can always be planning the fun stuff whilst you wait!

Where should I apply for my working holiday visa?

You can't apply for a working holiday visa in Australia. You have to apply for it before you leave your home country. If it's not granted before you arrive in Australia, you won't be able to work. Find out if your country is eligible for the Australian working holiday visa
