Changes have been made to the Working Holiday visa for UK Passport holders

In summary, the changes are as follows;

  • from 1 July 2023, UK passport holders can apply for a Working Holiday visa between the ages of 18 and 35 years inclusive
  • from 1 July 2024, UK passport holders can be granted up to three separate Working Holiday visas without having to meet any specified work requirements.

The big changes here include the lifting of the maximum age from 30 to 35 and there are no longer any rural working requirements to apply for a 2nd working holiday visa. In fact, from July 1 2024, people that meet the eligibility requirements can now apply for up to 3 seperate working holiday visa's.
