Eligible passport holders
These new arrangements are only available to applicants who use a passport issued by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to lodge their visa application. Under longstanding legislative arrangements, a person can use only one citizenship to access the maximum number of Working Holiday (subclass 417) visas in their lifetime. UK citizens who have previously been granted and entered Australia on a Working Holiday (subclass 417) visa using a different passport (for example, from the Republic of Ireland) are not eligible to apply again using their UK passport.

Hello I wonder if you can help me, I went to Australia on 417 working holiday visa with my boyfriend in 2019, I got about 80 farm work days so didn’t get my total 88 farmwork days as I had an allergic reaction to the fruit we were picking and our plan was to do more farm days to get 88 days then covid hit and we had to come home so we didn’t get the chance and couldn’t spend the whole year in auz! What are the possibilities of getting another working holiday visa? We are looking to come back to Australia in 2026. I would be 26 and my boyfriend 28. Would we be able to get one or only allowed a tourist visa? As I’ve read about the covid visas as I thought we may be able to get one but it says have to apply by 2022 and we are obviously thinking a few years away yet but just wanted to see what you thought? Thank you:)

Yes you will be once it is implemented 🙂
