#8. Working Holiday Program (WHM)

Episode Summary: This visa is for young adults who want an extended holiday in Australia and be able to work there to fund their stay. Australia's reciprocal Working Holiday Maker (WHM) program has been fostering stronger links between young people from Australia and around the world since 1975. It allows young adults to have a 12 month holiday, during which they can undertake short-term work and study. The WHM program now includes over 40 partner countries or jurisdictions in two visa subclasses, the Working Holiday (subclass 417) visa and the Work and Holiday (subclass 462) visa. In this episode, Amitava compares and contrasts key features about the Working & Holiday Visa (417) and Work & Holiday Visa (462).
