New work and holiday visas: Travel lovers passionate about learning have a good reason to be excited. An opportunity to combine work and travel has emerged in Australia, as the country has introduced Work and Holiday Visa for Indians. Eligible visa applicants are selected by ballot, and the registration fee for the ballot is $25. Some people consider it a lottery visa because it is a test of luck. If selected in the ballot, applicants can obtain a visa at a cost of $650. The visa application process is currently underway, and applications can be submitted until October 30. Work and holiday visas are issued to 1,000 people per year.
Multiple work and holiday visas are permitted in Australia, allowing holders to move in and out of the country as they wish. The visa is valid for one year and can be extended for two years, allowing tourists to stay in Australia for up to three years. Apart from enjoying holidays, visa holders can also study in the country for up to four months. People who currently hold a work and holiday visa can apply for another visa.
age limit
Working and holiday visas are issued to individuals aged between 18 and 30 years. However, the age limit for applicants from Canada, Denmark, France, Ireland, Italy and the United Kingdom is 35 years.
