Step 2
Apply through the official route
Book an in-person Australian-jurisdiction Greek mission appointment: Canberra, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney or Perth. Use the Australian programme checklist rather than a short-stay tourist checklist.
- Confirm your responsible Greek mission and ask how programme-specific visa/residence processing is implemented.
- Request the Australian support letter and collect the degree or university two-year certificate.
- Prepare criminal/medical evidence, six-month bank history, passport, full insurance and separate departure means.
- Attend the mission and pay confirmed AUD-equivalent charges; obtain written arrival/residence and employment instructions with the decision.
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
Resolve the programme/general-national-visa residence discrepancy before travel. Do not use tourist processing estimates for this application.
- 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
The Australian programme page says its visa also serves as residence permission; general national-visa guidance describes a separate residence step. Follow written programme-specific instructions from the mission; no Canadian arrival process is imported.
Work
The programme establishes a Work and Holiday visa but the reviewed page does not settle employer/time restrictions; obtain the issued conditions.
Study
A maximum course duration was not established by the Australian programme page.
