Changes to Australian Working Holiday Visa for UK Citizens

Extension of age range

As of the 1st of July, UK passport holders/citizens aged between 18 and 35 will be able to apply for an Australian Working Holiday Visa. The previous age range was 18-30 so this sees a significant increase in eligibility.

Longer visa validity

In addition to the expanded age range, the working holiday visas will be valid for 3 years and allow the holder to work in any occupation, for as little or as many hours as they wish. This gives individuals from the UK the ability to live and work in Australia and experience everything this beautiful country has to offer.

If you are interested in migrating to Australia under the new Working Holiday Visa, please reach out to Australian Shores so we can get you underway on your new adventure!
