This is so helpful, thank you so much for this. Been loving your videos since you started. I'm coming to Australia next month to start my working holiday visa and watching all your videos has made me more confident and excited. Thanks for them!
Thanks so much Fred! Glad our videos have helped, you’ll have the BEST time in Aus! 😊
Fantastic video, very well explained 👏 xx
Thank you guys for answering so many of my questions^^
You’re welcome, thanks so much for watching!
What a wonderful video! Cant thank you enough
Thank you so much! 😊
Hey guys love your channel followed your whole journey, your awesome content should count towards the hours considering your promoting Australia you do more work than the tourist board..😄 Keep up the great work
Hey Michael, that’s so kind of you, thanks you so much! If only it would count towards our hours! We love showing what an amazing country Australia is 😄
this is very useful, thank u
Glad it helped! 😁
so helpful thank you
Thanks for watching!
Such a helpful video. Thank u :)
So glad it was helpful! :)
@@LeeandLoz you aussies are "cowards" just giving up you're guns
p.s. steve irwin did off himself and it was not on "perpose" but he was not the "smartest" with stingrays and well they have a "barb" inside the stinger and THAT'S what killed him
These videos reaffirms why I migrated to Australia 14 years ago after my WHV ❣️🇦🇺.
So glad you made the move!
I’m moving out sometime this year. I’m so glad they’re upping it to 35 being 28 I couldn’t stay for the full 3 years but now I can, can’t wait to move I’m very excited
Yeah we’re so glad for the change! Hopefully doesn’t take long to come into effect. You’ll have the best time, good luck with the move! 😊
Just curious- you obviously love it here - have you considered making the stay permanent? Maybe better than England?
Can casuals also count their weekends? Because some sources says that only full-time employers are allowed to that?
Great video! I was just wondering if you got insurance for the manual labour/ regional work? or just normal travel insurance?
Thanks so much! We had neither haha, if you are from the UK you are eligible for Medicare
awesome video really well explained, I am from the UK and have been here since June however only work I have done is a ski season in Victoria. Looking to renew my visa however I have read that the trade deal between Australia and the UK isn't actually in motion, are you able to 100% confirm that there is no required work... Look forward to a response, enjoy your travels!
Hey George! Thanks for the comment, hope you’re having a good time in Aus! No sorry we can’t confirm that at this time, it’s not currently in place but will be at some point, unfortunately we don’t know exactly when but hoping it’ll be sometime this year! Hope that helps.
Hey Lee and Loz. I done my two years in Aus and I want to go back for my third year but I never done the work. At this current moment, if I apply for the third year. Do I need to show proof of work? I’m from the UK. Thanks.
When does this new changes come into place? Thanks
Does anyone know what you would do if you use all three working holiday visas what visa would you go to after this to work or could you obtain pr from this?
Great video! do you know If you work more than 35 hours per week, e.g 50+ can you still only count that as 7 days not 8 or 9? thanks
Hey there! Thanks so much :) unfortunately that would still only count for 7 days!
Hii! Could you tell me what was the city that you worked with hospitality to complete the 88 days? I'm trying to find hotels/resorts etc, but the idea of a remote city with a bar/restaurant that I could work on would be very helpful because the resorts take a long time to answer the applications sometimes. Was it easy to find the job straight away when you got into this town?? Thank you in advancee
Hey there, we did ours in Port Douglas, at the time it was easy to find a job but hard to find accommodation! I think it is getting harder to get a job now as more people go. Best of luck!
Great Video! This very informative. I hope that you would be able to see this. I'm from the UK. I've just arrived here in Australia last May 17, 2023. I'm just wondering If I still need to do specified work to apply for my second year WHM visa?
Hey! Thanks so much 😁 because the new rules don’t come into effect until July 2024, you’ll either have to do your 88 days work or you’ll have to leave Australia when your visa expires in May and apply for your second year visa after July 😊
@@LeeandLoz Thank you so much! This is very helpful
Thank you. Good video. It will be interesting to see what impact the 3 year visa has - especially if it encourages UK people to apply for permanent residency. From around 2000 to 2020 (and CV19) the largest groups of longer term migrants as well as tourists and international students have not been from Europe but rather from East and South Asia. You might not have noticed this so much in the "bush" but it has made our capital cities far more multicultural which I think is great. Given their high status on our Skilled Occupation Lists for Migration and issues back in the UK loads of UK Doctors and Nurses are applying to migrate. The biggest issue for them seems home sickness, especially missing friends and family as we are 22 hours flight time minimum to get back. Would you stay longer? and is the distance from friends and family a "category killer" issue? Cheers
Hey R J S, thanks so much for your comment! It’s interesting to hear your thoughts and figures. We’d love the opportunity to stay here longer, of course there are negatives of missing family, friends, and some home comforts of England, but there are so many positives over here in Australia, which is what we remind ourselves often, we love it here!
Video calls mean the distance is not so bad, and a happier life for you should make everyone happier for you! Family visits can be much more fun than living nearby and no visits! 🤗
Problem is in some locations locals have to compete for employment with holiday visa holders which can be difficult because where they want to holiday there is high unemployment and visa holders are more likely to accept wage theft payments
Wonderful video! Would that be okay to do just the 88 days of farm/hospitality work and for the rest of the time work remotely as a digital nomad? Or does Australia require you to work every single month while you’re there in Aus specifically? Thank you!🙂
Hey Polina! That’s absolutely fine 😊 apart from the 88 days to be granted a second year there is no need to do any work while there if you don’t want to! Hope that helps!
@@LeeandLoz thank you so much! Now I might actually do it 😃 Super excited!!
What will happen after your 2 years visa expire can you apply for permanent residency or leave the county many thanks .
Do you no the date they are updating the visa
very much helpful..
Is it okay if I put the bank statement of my sponers for the 5000 dollors?
Would you be able to disclose where was the bar you worked at that was considered a remote area ?
Hey, we worked around Port Douglas/Cairns, it is in Far North Queensland. You are able to work in hospitality anywhere above the 'Tropic of Capricorn' line, you can also check postcodes on the Australian Government website. Hope this helps :)
Hey there good video! Was just wondering when does the update come into place I read somewhere December 2023, and wasn’t sure as I’m currently here on my first whv and was wondering if I waited would my second year allow me to do no farm work? If I went home to UK until it came into place. Thanks again
Hey Finlay! Thanks for the comment, nobody knows for 100% yet when it will come into place, the thing we read said early 2023 so I guess we will have to wait and see! Once it comes into effect it should grant people from the UK with a 3 year visa straight away. This should also apply to people already in AUS, we have done our 88 days to get our second year so once it comes into place we should get our third year for "free" without any farm work/regional work.
@@LeeandLoz thank you so much appreciate it. Hoping it comes into place before my second year visa so I can get two years for free. I’m heading to do my 88 days in next few weeks
Hey, great video! Quick question, I’m currently on my second visa, I’ve already done 3 months last year (August-November 2022). If I want a third visa, do I just have to do another 3 months again? Or do I have to work 6 months? Just a bit confused for the third visa. Like, I’m not sure if it’s 6 months total work for three years in Australia, or 9 months total. Appreciate your video! I’m American so not sure 😅
Hey! Thanks so much :) ah yeah it is super confusing haha, unfortunately for the third year visa you have to do an additional 6 months work. The 3 months you did in your first year don’t
count towards your third year. Hope that helps!
Thank you so much!
I did my 1st year whv in Sydney it was amazing. But covid hit 3 months into my visit so I couldn't complete the 88 days, however I did do voluntary work through worldpackers on an alpaca farm. Do you think I'll be able to apply for another aussie whv? 🤔 I'm 29 years old
Hey Oliver, we know a few people who have recently applied and been approved for a covid visa which granted them an extra year, so would recommend you look into that!
That deals still not in place. Still waiting for it to go through 🤞🏽🤞🏽
Hey Kevin, yes hopefully it comes into place this year!
This was by far the best explanation video for WHV backpackers! I’m on my first year and currently finishing off vineyard work for my 88 days. My first year runs out in feb 2024 so I plan to go home and see family then apply for my second year visa with my 88 days proof etc and come out again later 2024. I noticed the new rule applies from July 2024 just one q as I’m already on my first year and have to do my days right now, if I apply for my second year visa and fly back out after July 2024 i don’t have to do 6 months right even tho I’m on my first year already before that date?
Hey, thanks so much! Assuming you’re from the UK - yes that’s right! We’re in a similar situation to you, and as long as you apply for your third year after July 2024 you won’t need to do your 6 months
@@LeeandLoz ah sweet!! So yeah I’ll go back to Uk in feb 2024 after my first year then save up see friend n family and apply and arrive on my second year visa after July! Doing my 88 days currently, then when I get out for second year after July 2024 It will be breeezy with no 6 month work for when I apply for third year woo hoo
@@ezzax9326 if you’re doing your 88 days now then technically you don’t need to leave, or if you’re planning on going home anyways when your first year visa expires and coming back after July 2024 then you don’t need to do your 88 days 😊
@@LeeandLoz sweet yeah!! So it’s my choice to go back and see family and them come back for year 2 and 3 straight after but I’ll come after July 2024 :)) Thabkyou so much
Crazy how different finding a job is in the different seasons. Right now it is winter and the job market is absolutely terrible. There is no jobs at all right now anywhere. Me and many of my friends are really struggling. Don't go to Australia in low season people, you won't find anything!
can't find my 88days papers :/ and I'm not british
When will work and holiday visa slots available for Indians
Whats up if I did volunteering work?
I now live in Coffs harbour, I start all the work only 2,3,4, per week, 4, 5 hours. $50 60, 80, somebody tell you to be in $180, that's a day,. so what is? hour or $, I'm going to wait for your answer. thx
Omg you mentioned it but I just wanted to clarify, I’m applying for my first year, so the 1 year visa time starts when I enter Australia? And not when the visa is granted? Is that correct? Thank you for your time and advice!
Hi Michaela! Yes that’s right ☺️ so if your visa is granted in April 2023, you have a year to enter, say for example you do not enter Australia until June 2023, then your one year visa would be June 2023 - June 2024
@@LeeandLoz hey! I did have a google but like many topics you mentioned, the answer was not clear 😅 thank you so much for replying, I appreciate it!
So If I would like to do a year holiday visa and the 88 days in hospitality where can I do it?
This is the most helpful video so far!
Thanks so much! You can have a look at the government website and it’ll give you some postcodes of areas where it counts. There are other areas around Aus but we was generally looking on the East Coast above the “Tropic of Capricorn”, so Cairns/Port Douglas, Townsville, Airlie Beach etc are all good options 😊
@@LeeandLoz thank youuu, which would you say is the most lively area I can do it (sorry for all the questions) xx
I want to stay in Melbourne for the majority of my visit since my girlfriend is attending school there and already has an apartment set up for us. Are there any areas yall recommend that are within driving distance from Melbourne to complete my 88 days?
Hey Xandria! If you are wanting to do you're 88 days but live in Melbourne then I would probably say you are going to need to look into Fruit/Farm Work, as I don't believe there will be any 'remote postcodes' near Melbourne where you could do the other kinds of work we spoke about (Hospitality). Check out the website "Backpacker Job Board", they post a lot of jobs that qualify for 88 days. Hope you find something you enjoy!
@@LeeandLoz hi! I live near Sydney in the northern beaches. Would farm work that’s only an hour or 2 away still count? Or no cause it might not be considered regional?
Hi guys, I just completed my 88 days of work. On the immi website it asks you to put down how many actual days you’ve worked. Do put down 94 days (this number is including rest days) ? Thank you :)
Hey, if you worked full time then you can include the rest days :) hope this helps!
Hi. I booked my flights to Aus as my friend out there told me it’s pretty much instant approval ,. I’ve applied for my first WHV and I’ve been asked for a medical examinations and because I don’t live on the mainland UK I’ve got to travel to Manchester and have one there, also I had my money in a savings account so I couldn’t show a bank statement, I’ve just took a screenshot of my account will this be okay?
Hey there! Unfortunately some people are asked for a medical, we were when we applied but we know tonnes of people from the UK who didnt get asked. Pretty sure the screenshots will be okay but I'm sure they will let you know if they need more proof. Good luck!
and what happend after 3 years? does it means we cant work again and be there or do we need to apply diffrent visa?
If you are wanting to stay in Australia after your 3 years, then you would need to look into a different visa, such as a student or a skilled visa. If you want to stay in Australia long term id advise you use those 3 years to find a company that you like working for who would sponsor you to stay :)
My payslips say “casual” on but I’m doing 40 plus hours a week and get a payslip once a week. Will they count each payslip as 7 days?
Hey Harry, yes they will still count this as 7 days. Doesn’t matter if you’re full time or casual as long as you work the hours :)
hi there , probably an odd question , i have a DE passport but i am south african do i need to be a citizen of germany or can i apply just on the DE passport for the visa
Hey Brett, I’m not 100% sure with this one sorry. It says here immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/work-holiday-417/first-working-holiday-417#Eligibility that you need to be a citizen of Germany as you’ll need to put an address down etc and if you need a get a medical that will most likely have to be in Germany. But could be worth a try anyway!
Hi, I plan on moving to Australia in May on a uk passport, will I have to do the 88 days for the second year visa or will I be eligible, as it will be after the 1st of July when it runs out? Thanks
Hey, so glad to hear your making the trip to Aus! No you won’t need to do the 88 days anymore, as long as you apply for your 2nd year after July 2024 :)
@@LeeandLoz Thanks, appreciate the response ☺️
Hi thank you for the video!
I’ll almost get my 88 days!
In a short time I’m 31 years old (Belgium)
Can i apply for a 2nd year working holiday visum? Maybe I’m to old?
If they approve i will get 32 during my 2nd year Holiday.
Hope someone can help me out of here :)
Thanks a lot!
I plan on moving to Aus in October/November, would I still need to do my 88 days as my Visa would run out after July 2024? Or if I don’t do it can I still apply for the second year in July?
You won’t need to do your 88 days! 😄
Is it a must to have experience in the job in which I will apply?
Hey there, that completely depends on what the employer is looking for, you don’t always need experience!
U need volume up your music, I hear some voices on the background
Hi.sir I.wont hard work please help me sir...and farmer. Work please 🙏
I'm assuming this doesn't stretch to NZ?
Hey Jon, no sorry this doesn’t apply to NZ. I think they have a different system over there! 😊
New Zealand is an independent nation.
@Peter McCulloch yeah obviously, there was talk of a CANZUK agreement changing the visa rules, so it's not too much of a daft question
How can you please help me get this visa?😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏 I have the financial capability. Please help me am from Africa
good video but too many pommies in Oz
You ozzies are pommies
