Why are there two types of holiday visas for working in Australia?
Having looked at the countries for which the above two visas are open, you may have basically understood that 417 visas are open to countries or regions with relatively small populations and low risk levels. On the other hand, 462 visas come from countries with relatively large populations and high visa risk. Therefore, 462 visa for applicants have academic qualifications, English requirements, and can not apply for a second visa. At the same time, 462 visas are subject to annual quota restrictions in each country, while 417 visas are open. This is why only 23 million of Taiwan's population has as many as 10000 working vacation backpackers every year!
Is it 462 or 417 in the face of the Chinese people's open working holiday visa?
The full name of the visa is Work and Holiday Visa, and there are annual quota restrictions on the applicant country. Based on these two factors, let's take a look at the announcement on the website of the Australian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You can already know that the Chinese can apply for 462 of the working vacation visa, because China and Australia sign the Work and Holiday Arrangement, and have a quota of 5000 a year!
Where can I work in Australia after I get a working holiday visa?
You can choose any city or town in Australia at will. In general, Australia's remote areas and rural areas are more in need of labour, so the pay is higher! If you really want to feel busy urban life, such as Sydney and Melbourne, Australia is also a great opportunity, but the job opportunities are very different.
Is there any restriction on working time on a working holiday visa?
The main purpose of holding a working vacation visa is to take a holiday and the holder may work in Australia for a period of 12 months, but only for the same employer for a maximum of six months. This restriction applies to any form of employer and job. Here, "employer" refers to a company or organization for which visa holders work directly.
A work holiday visa generally does not allow the holder to work for the same organization for more than 6 months, regardless of whether the duty or place of work has changed! But holders are allowed to work for up to six months for each autonomous chain located in different regions, as long as they are run by different people and have different Australian business registration numbers.
A 6-month period applies to all full-time, part-time, informal and voluntary work. Therefore, volunteer work should also follow the six-month work limit. In addition, job training is counted as work. Visa holders can take up to 6 months of work training while working for the same employer.
If a second working leave visa is held, the holder may work for the employer at the time of his first working leave visa for up to six months.
