"working vacation" is a popular phenomenon in some European and American countries, where young people often spend about a year traveling abroad before starting their formal work after completing their studies, during which time they earn their living expenses by working locally. Australia opened 5000 jobs and vacation visas to China in FY2016 / 2017, which are applicable to 18-31 year-olds and can only be applied once in a lifetime. On November 18, 2016, Australia opened a two-visa application for a working vacation visa. The applicant who satisfies the second visa may submit the application within or outside Australia, but it is not an indefinite renewal, but can only be renewed once.
To hold a working holiday visa:
- You can stay in Australia for 12 months after your first entry;
- Can work in any competent position, but not for more than 6 months for the same employer.
- Can participate in not more than 4 months of study training;
- You can travel to and from Australia multiple times during the validity of the visa.
