The third year working holiday visa Australia option is available to some travelers who complete additional specified work during their second year. This guide explains the basic idea and how to plan early.
Start with the second year visa guide and the regional work page.
Eligibility and work requirements
Eligibility depends on your visa stream and the amount of specified work you complete during your second year. Requirements can change, so always verify official guidance.
What counts as specified work
Specified work depends on both industry and location. Make sure your job and postcode match the eligible list at the time you work.
Common mistakes in evidence
- Missing payslips or incomplete work dates
- Working in a non eligible postcode
- Assuming all farm jobs qualify
Planning your second year for a third year
If a third year is your goal, plan your second year around eligible work from the start. Use regional work planning to create a timeline.
Next steps
Review second year requirements and keep all evidence from day one.
