Requirements, application steps and preparation before departure.
Step 1
Check requirements and language preparation
Length of stay
This is the Australian rule. New Zealand’s one-year total is not transferred. Further permission requires its own eligible application.
References: AU-NO-FINAL AU-NO-GUIDE-FINAL
Initial funds
The preserved 17 October Australian record and newer indexed guidance support this figure; an older English version says NOK 45,507. Prepare the higher supported amount and confirm the current Australian checklist. Bank funds and/or a concrete paid-work offer are described.
References: AU-NO-FINAL AU-NO-GUIDE-FINAL
Visa fee
UDI requires a fee, but the current Australian category’s payable amount was not exposed in the reviewed material.
References: AU-NO-FINAL
Annual quota
No current Australian annual allocation was established in these UDI references.
References: AU-NO-FINAL AU-NO-GUIDE-FINAL
Application dates and timing
No annual filing window was verified. Obtain the correct permit and follow its individual entry conditions.
References: AU-NO-GUIDE-FINAL
Language
No Australian proficiency-test condition was established. Obtain the personal checklist’s document-translation instructions.

Permanent residence alone is insufficient. Any extra validity margin needs confirmation from the actual personal checklist, rather than a tourist-visa rule.

Insurance
UDI’s processing guideline expressly distinguishes Australia from New Zealand, Argentina and Japan. Suitable health and travel cover remains sensible preparation.
References: AU-NO-GUIDE-FINAL
Documents and participation
UDI identifies a specific Australian Working Holiday checklist. The full personal attachments still need confirmation. Do not substitute New Zealand’s insurance declaration.
References: AU-NO-CHECK-FINAL AU-NO-GUIDE-FINAL
Step 2
Apply through the official route
Select Australian Working Holiday in UDI and use its Australian checklist and application instructions. The individual submission and fee details were not fully exposed; confirm the receiving mission or centre before filing.
- Select the Australian category and obtain its personal checklist and receiving-office instructions.
- Prepare identity, initial support and separate return-travel evidence. Confirm the current funds amount and fee.
- Submit through UDI’s instructed channel and attend the required identity or document appointment. A visitor permission does not establish work rights.
- Check the grant and entry conditions before travelling. Plan any second-year application separately.
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
Keep a departure reserve beyond initial maintenance. Consider comprehensive insurance even though UDI says the Australian agreement does not require it.
- 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
Follow the decision’s police and residence-card instructions and the six-month employer limit. A possible second year is not an automatic extension.
Work
The holiday must remain the primary purpose. Canadian participation categories are not transferred.
Study
UDI directs people planning a longer study programme to the study-permit route.

Through ViveCampus you can request language-course quotes with international-student discounts. Offers may vary by your country of origin and destination. A personalized quote confirms available discounts and the final price. Booking a course does not guarantee a visa.
