Guest Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Hello All I'm about to apply for my working holiday visa tomorrow, I fly out on the 11th of December. How long would it take to proceed because online I'm getting 48hrs to 3 weeks. Is there anything I should be aware of before I apply?

If you've already booked a flight best keep your fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 You will need to be a bit lucky to get a grant by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip1 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 “Is there anything I should be aware of before I apply?” Yes, that you may not get your visa in time for your flight! I’ve heard they are taking several weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Both my Daughter and sons Girlfriend got their work holiday visa’s the morning after they applied. Not saying that happens for everyone, but they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkymalarky Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 visas sometimes arent overnight things. if you dont have a clean police record this will 100% slow things down for you... time frames is a frustrating guessing game On 27/11/2018 at 02:36, Meg7 said: Hello All I'm about to apply for my working holiday visa tomorrow, I fly out on the 11th of December.

Tindog Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Mine took 10 minutes, that was around 6 weeks ago. Some people are taking weeks, as above. All you can really do is apply and hope for the best. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
