Work and Holiday visa

A “Work and Holiday” agreement has been signed between Australia and Indonesia, where applications have been accepted from 1 July 2009. The Work and Holiday visas are for Australians to visit Indonesia and for Indonesians to visit Australia. The visa is mainly a tourist visa, which also allows the visa holder to do some work.

Requirements:

Each applicant must:

Be between eighteen (18) and thirty (30) years old (including the ages 18 and 30) at the time the visa is applied for;
have tertiary qualifications, or have successfully completed at least two years of undergraduate university study;
apply in their home country (Indonesia or Australia);
have good English (for Indonesian applicants) or good Indonesian (for Australian applicants) - which is assessed as at least “functional” on a language test;
Have no dependent children who will join them (that is, there are no children allowed as family members on the parent’s visa);
have not had a visa of this type before;
have sufficient funds for their personal expenses for the first three months – generally this is about $5,000 AUD;
have good health and good character;
provide a letter from the relevant government department which states that the applicant meets these requirements.

Conditions:

People who are granted Work and Holiday visas must not:

be employed by any one employer for more than six (6) months;
engage in any studies or training for more than four (4) months.

Limit:

There will be a yearly limit of 100 ‘Work and Holiday’ visas granted to Indonesian applicants and a limit of 100 ‘Work and Holiday’ visas granted to Australian applicants.
