Step 1
Check requirements and language preparation
Length of stay
Migri describes nine months of work during a twelve-month trip; check the dates on the residence-permit decision.
References: AU-FI-MIGRI-18
Initial funds
Migri uses an approximate amount. This is not the total cost of the trip.
References: AU-FI-MIGRI-18
Visa fee
The New Zealand treaty fee waiver does not apply to the Australian category.
References: AU-FI-MIGRI-18
Annual quota
Australian allocation not established by inspected Migri text; no inference from other passports.
References: AU-FI-MIGRI-18
Application dates and timing
No annual Australian filing window established; first residence permit is applied for abroad.

Insurance
Australia is not named in Migri’s insurance attachment. Confirm whether cover is required for your application and arrange suitable protection before travelling.
References: AU-FI-MIGRI-18
Documents and participation
Photo: no more than 6 months, passport copies, lawful residence, funds, return ticket/funds; attachments may need translation/legalisation. Australian health/character conditions apply.

Step 2
Apply through the official route
- Confirm the Australian 18–30 category, first participation and holiday purpose in Migri’s instructions.
- Apply abroad in Enter Finland or with the paper form; gather passport/photo, lawful filing residence, funds and return-travel evidence.
- Pay EUR 530 electronically or EUR 630 on paper and attend the required identity appointment with originals.
- Await the residence-permit decision and read its dates and work conditions before travel.
Step 3
Read your approval and entry conditions
Read the entire approval notice: identity, dates, entry deadline and conditions. Keep it available offline. Do not assume the visa starts on your preferred date.
Step 4
Get ready for the trip
Use approximately EUR 2450 as initial three-month support guidance, not the entire trip budget; return travel is separate. The New Zealand fee waiver and other passports’ mandatory insurance clause do not automatically apply to Australians.
- Passport, visa and requested evidence accessible offline.
- Initial funds, insurance and departure costs checked separately.
- First accommodation and airport transport arranged.
Step 5
Start your Working Holiday
Track nine months of total work and three months per employer. Migri says longer work for one employer requires an employed-person permit to be applied for and granted. Confirm local registration and course conditions before acting.
Work
9 months total; up to 3 months with one employer
