Getting your WHV visa from the aussie govt website

Ross1986 · 2012-05-04 13:53:09

Has anyone gone this way to get their visa instead of usit & visa first? Just find these a bit of a joke/rip-off, how much does the working holiday visa cost if you apply directly through the government website? Thanks!

Does anyone read stickys? ... everyone on this forum will tell you to do it yourself ... Please read the FAQ
Australia FAQ - This probably has the visa question you are just about to ask.
How much does this cost?

If you require an agency to do something so utterly simple then you deserve to be ripped off.

I got mine on immi.gov.au...
It was 217eur at the time was approved in 30 mins and so fast to fill out!

Agencies will require anything up to 400eur for a visa promising to arrange sim card, bank details and tax file numbers, this you can do for free mostly online before you leave Ireland! And they leave you hanging for 2 weeks before they return their verdict!

Save yourself some pocket money and time and go the immi way!

I agree with all of the above. It is piss easy to fill out yourself, absolutely no need for anyone to go through a visa agent for a whv.
