Ozmaniac Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 No. Working Holiday visas must be applied for offshore and can only be granted offshore. They don't take long to be processed - you could nip across the ditch (to NZ) for a few days and apply over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 If you have already got an application processing for 189 - I believe that you can apply for Bridging Visa A by filling in form 1005, and you will get work rights. There was a post on here the other day from a RMA stating this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
