First Working Holiday visa applications may be lodged online from anywhere outside Australia.
Second Working Holiday visa applications may be lodged online from in Australia or outside Australia. If you are in Australia, you should apply before your current visa ceases.
Saving online applications
When using the online application system, eVisa, you can use the 'save' function to save the information you have entered into your online application. This function will create a unique number as well as give you the opportunity to give this saved application a password of your own choice. This will allow you to return to your saved application at a later stage.
