Working Holiday Visa - Processing time

gafferino

Hi guys

Im sorry if this has been asked before but couldnt find it if it has.

How long does it take to get a working/holiday visa for Aus?

Someone told me it takes a long time but was under the impression that wasnt the case.

Leaving Ireland end of Oct and arriving Australia the end of January.

Cheers

if my memory servers me correctly (and if things haven't changed) then it takes about 2 days.

If u apply online that is....

pretty quick.

Its flippin cold,and by cold i mean 10-15degrees very wet too, its been raining for months! cant wait for the summer. It should start heating up in a few weeks.
Yeah Mandurah's a nice enough sot, pretty boring though. but the train up to Perth is really handy, can go up, go for a few beers and catch the train home

Beachband

Ya that sounds like the job, nice one mate with the train and beers.
At least ye will have all that sunshine in the next couple of months.

Has Perth been battered with the same winter ye are having in Mandurah?
Jes I remember when I was in WA last, and driving from Mandurah back to Perth, all the trees and house damage etc from the storms, they certainly get real storms there alright.

Still cant wait to get back there, livin the life, just in time for the spring.

Mackman

yeah Perth's pretty much the same. We've had some pretty bad storms alright, the thunder and lighning is AWESOME

Mellor

How about for New Zealand is it the same amount of time? How much dose that one cost? Thinking I might go there after my year is up here.

Cant wait for the Summer Im in Melbourne, I might as well be at home the amount of rain Im seeing. Thing is everyone is happy its raining because it hasn't much the last couple of years.
