Amended the eligible age for Subclass 417 Working Holiday

The migration regulations changes made the Immigration Department this 1st July 2017 have brought good news to working holiday visa workers who wish to visit Melbourne, Australia to work and holiday. 

The Department has amended the eligible age for Subclass 417 Working Holiday, which applicants must be aged at least 18 and no more than 35 years old at the time of application. If an age younger than 35 is specified in an instrument for a specified passport, that younger age limit will be applied.

On the other hand, for subclass 462 Work and Holiday Visas, the increase to age limit is only available for those countries where Australia has negotiated a similar bilateral age increase.

Below is the list of countries that are eligible for subclass 462:

• Argentina
• Bangladesh
• Chile
• China
• Hungary
• Indonesia
• Israel
• Luxembourg
• Malaysia
• Poland
• Portugal
• San Marino
• Slovak Republic
• Slovenia
• Spain
