澳洲打工和旅行簽證 Australia Work and Holiday Visa (開始了!)

Thursday, February 05, 2009

之前和大家提過的Australia Work and Holiday Visa終于開始了。一年只公開100個位子供申請,可以去澳洲12個月,簽證申請費用是 AUD$195 (相等于RM$468,如乘于2.4的換算率)。其他申請條件就如之前提過的。。。比紐西蘭的WHV有難度。

請看以下:

The Work and Holiday visa is for tertiary educated people aged 18 to 30 who are interested in a working holiday of up to 12 months in Australia. This visa allows you to supplement the cost of your holiday through periods of temporary or casual employment.
Under the Malaysia/Australia Work and Holiday program an annual limit of 100 Work and Holiday visas are available per year.

Note: You must not make arrangements to travel to Australia until you are advised that your visa has been granted.

You must also provide evidence of a return or onward ticket or the funds for a fare to leave Australia.
Government Approval and Character Requirements
All applicants must meet character requirements. You must provide the department with a Letter of Good Conduct in support of your application to apply for a Work and Holiday visa. This letter must be the original letter of approval from Wisma Putra.

  13. Hi I left you message before in another post where you tried to introduce us the working holiday a few months back.

    Yes I am trying to apply this working holiday now. I went to the Embassy today,knew that it takes 4-6 weeks to know the result.

    I have bought my ticket on 13 March. Look like my ticket is going to void this time.

    Sad

  14. lshwei,
    妳還年輕,還可以去啊。。。不然以后再去旅行好了。

    匿名,
    You are CY right? Previously you said you going to take the IELTS exam. Ahh..why you bought the flight ticket so early?? You bought air asia ticket? If you wanna void it, i think you still can get back the airport tax.

  15. Yes I am CY, I bought MAS ticket during the promotion period last December. MAS ticketing person told me to appeal through email to their superior.

    Am going to apply my 'Sijil Tingkahlaku Baik' at Putrajaya later.

    So many things to do. What does the certified copy of bank statement means? who should certify it? any idea?

    CY

    ReplyDelete
  16. ic, if it's MAS, then you might still be able to appeal.

    The certified bank statement, you can request from the bank, they'll print the statement with a signature/stamp.

  17. Sure, and as i know, they will issue only 100 visas annually.

    I am worried now. :)

    CY

    ReplyDelete
  18. CY,
    Ya, only 100 annually, really ungenerous...but i think still not many people aware about this visa, and some more the requirement is strict, so you should have higher chance, hehe. Good luck ya!

  19. 正在搜寻澳洲work and holiday visa 的资料,无意中被google 牵到你们的小天地,惊为天人!哈哈!花了整天的时间慢慢阅读每段文字及每张照片,很羡慕!那也是我和另一半的梦想--牵手走遍世界。
    看到这则通告真的很高兴,australia 一直是我最想去的地方。可是上网一看,台湾去澳洲找不到工作的背包客一堆,身边的朋友都提醒我,现在经济不好,难保到澳洲会找到工作,还是乖乖在这呆几年再打算。听了不免失望,毕竟再过四年我和男友就已三张,超龄的小孩人家都不收了。出来工作都快两年了,感觉自己离梦想越来越远,等到机会来了却又缺乏行动的勇气。要放下已经安定的工作和生活去追寻未知的梦想。真的需要莫大的决心啊!矛盾啊!!前辈可以分享你们的经验吗?
    谢~

  20. 考拉拉,
    驚為天人是指哪一方面?呵呵。謝謝你用心游覽我們的部落格哦,希望可以幫到你。
    確實現在經濟非常差,我們的朋友在澳洲是專業人士也剛被裁員。不過像我們這種到那做散工的,應該不會太受影響。你說背包客在澳洲找不到工,是指那個地區沒工呢?有時要看季節,去錯季節,就會花更多時間才能找到工。我們當時也試過找不到工的時候。找工作跟運氣、態度是有很大的關係,如果嫌工作難或薪水少,那在淡季就很難找工了。

    老實說,當初要我們放下安定的工作,確實有些掙扎,不過如果不怎么做,那我們仿佛只能永遠在原地踏步,要達成夢想是需要勇氣與犧牲的,而我們辜幸我們做了這個決定。

    你們也可以考慮到紐西蘭打工旅行,只有6個月。那就不會太壓力。

    趁越年輕時去越好,呆多幾年,到時你擁有的越多,就更難放得下了。
