Registrations for the first Work and Holiday (Subclass 462) visa ballots

Starting 1 October 2024, a new pre-application process for the Work and Holiday (subclass 462) visa will be in place, targeting high-demand partner countries. Registrations for the first visa ballots for China, Vietnam, and India commence on 1 October 2024. 

You can be in or outside Australia when  you register for the ballot, but if you are selected, you can only apply for a first Work and Holiday Visa from outside Australia. 

To register for your country's ballot you must:

• Create an immi account ( if not already done)

• Be between the ages of 18 and 30 ( inclusive)

• Hold a valid passport issued by an eligible ballot participating country

• Hold a valid national identity card issued by an eligible ballot participating country (PAN card for Indian passport holders) 

• Have a valid email address

• Agree to the registration form's declarations

• Pay the ballot registration fee ( AUD25)

To navigate the complexities of the application process and ensure compliance with all relevant regulations, consider booking a consultation with one of our experienced Registered Migration Agents who work with complex matters every day.
