Frequently Asked Questions

The Third Working Holiday Visa (Subclass 462) is a visa option available for young adults from certain countries who want to holiday and work in Australia for an extended period.

To be eligible, you must have completed specified types of work in designated regional areas during your previous stays in Australia.

There are only three working holiday visas that are available – your first, second and third year.

Therefore, if you would like to stay for a fourth year in Australia, you will need to check what other types of visas you can apply for.

The time it takes to process your Australian 462 visa will depend on various factors. Typically it can range from anywhere from two to eight months.

The “88-day rule” in Australia applies to working holiday visa holders who wish to extend their stay by obtaining a second-year visa.

Under this rule, visa holders must engage in specified types of work in designated regional areas of Australia for a minimum period of 88 days. The work must be in specific industries such as agriculture, fishing, mining, construction, and certain types of hospitality work in regional areas.

If you wish to apply for a third-year visa, you should work at least 6 months or 179 calendar days.
