Common questions

Visitor & Working Holiday FAQs

No. The Visitor visa is for tourism, visiting family or business visitor activities such as meetings and conferences — it does not allow paid work. The working holiday visas (417 and 462) are the ones that allow you to work.
A Visitor visa is generally granted for a stay of 3, 6 or 12 months per entry, depending on your circumstances. Working holiday visas allow a stay of up to 12 months, with extensions available.
Both are working holiday visas. The 417 (Working Holiday) and 462 (Work and Holiday) cover different countries; the 462 also carries additional education, English and — for some countries — government-support requirements.
You can study for up to 3 months on a Visitor or working holiday visa. For longer study you would need a Student visa (subclass 500).
Sometimes — but some visitor visas carry a "No further stay" condition (8503) that prevents applying for most other visas while in Australia. We check your conditions and advise on your options.
