Temporary Stays
For Tourism, Business, and Short-Term Visits
Australia offers a diverse range of visitor visa options for various purposes, including tourism, business travel, and short-term stays. These visas allow you to experience the unique Australian culture, explore stunning landscapes, visit family and friends, or conduct short-term business activities. Depending on your nationality and purpose of visit, you may be eligible for streamlined options like the Electronic Travel Authority (subclass 601) or the eVisitor (subclass 651).
If you're a young traveler seeking adventure
consider the Work and Holiday visa (subclass 462) or the Working Holiday visa (subclass 417), which allow you to work and travel in Australia for a limited period.
The Work and Holiday visa (subclass 462) and the Working Holiday visa (subclass 417) offer young adults from eligible countries the opportunity to travel and work in Australia for up to 12 months. With these visas, you can:
- Do short-term work in Australia to help fund your travels.
- Study for up to 4 months in an Australian educational institution.
- Travel to and from Australia as many times as you like within the visa validity period.
- Gain valuable work experience and enhance your resume.
Key Eligibility Criteria:
Eligible Countries
You must hold a passport from an eligible country.
Età
You must be between 18 and 30 years old (or 35 years old for some countries).
Travel Independently
You cannot be accompanied by dependent children.
No Previous Work and Holiday Visas
You cannot have previously entered Australia on a subclass 462 or 417 visa. (Exceptions may apply for a second Work and Holiday visa under specific conditions).
Important Notes:
- Subclass 462: If you hold a passport from China, India, or Vietnam, you must participate in a visa pre-application process (ballot) and be randomly selected to apply for a first Work and Holiday (subclass 462) visa.
- Second Work and Holiday Visa (Subclass 462): You may be eligible for a second Work and Holiday visa if you complete at least three months of specified work in regional Australia on your first subclass 462 visa.
