Working Holiday Visa Conditions

Are there any restrictions placed on a Working Holiday Visa?

If granted a Work and Holiday Visa (Subclass 417) or a Working Holiday Visa (Subclass 462), there are two mandatory conditions and several discretionary conditions which, if appropriate, will appear on your visa label.

If you fail to comply with any of these conditions, your visa may be cancelled. Should this occur, then you will become unlawful and will be subject to detention and subsequent removal from Australia. You will be responsible for the costs involved in this process.

These visa conditions include:
