Should I apply online or submit my application by mail?
You must apply online through ImmiAccount. There’s only one exception—if you have a dependent child, you have to contact the Department of Home Affairs through the Working Holiday maker application enquiry form. Choose “dependent child” in the Lodgement enquiry type drop-down menu.
The WHV application takes around 30-40 minutes and it’s very straightforward. The only documents you need are your passport, your national ID card if you have one , your proof of funds (and the translation, if the original is not in English) and a credit card to pay the fee. Note that it doesn’t matter if the name on the credit card doesn’t match the name on your application.
Okay, we keep on saying that the application is straightforward because compared to many visa applications, it is. That said, you probably want to keep this guide handy—we get it, there’s a lot at stake (a year in Australia!), you’re nervous and official wording can be confusing. Don’t worry, we’ve got your back!
Some websites offer a “visa application service” or even mislead applicants who think they are using a Government of Australia website. You do NOT need to go through a visa service—the process and the questions are the same, only the fee is higher.
As of 2019, the WHV fee is AUD495, plus a credit card fee of around AUD7. If you see a fee in your local currency or a much higher fee, you’re probably not on the official website to apply for a WHV Subclass 417.

Et comment faire quand on a plus les details de son premier visa ( grant number TRN application id) ( nouveau portable et plus acces a mon ancienne boite mail ! )
merci !!
So you don’t have to send a visa photo or anything? I’m confused?
Hi Josephine, indeed they don’t ask for a picture but as you have to scan your passport, they see your picture on it 🙂 You’ll get an e-visa with no picture on it.
Petite question, j’ai suivis le tuto corps et amés pour avoir l’erreur “Based on the passport details, CHIKER ADHAM CHAHINE is not eligible to apply using this online service. ”
Je ne sais quoi faire j’ai bel est bien check, toutes les info sont bonnes, si quelqu’un peux m’aiguiller svp
Salut ! Tu es sûr d’avoir choisi le visa 417 et pas le 462 ? Tu dois aussi vérifier que tu n’as pas fait d’erreur dans ton numéro de passeport. Reprends bien le tutoriel en français point par point pour voir si tu ne t’es pas trompé quelque part : https://pvtistes.net/dossiers/tutoriel-pvt-australie/
Hi,
thanks for the article! I have a question, maybe you can help: I applied for the visa one month before turning 31 and I was requested to do the health examinations. Unfortunately I only got an appointment in six weeks from now and will be 31 when I get the results. Will I still be eligible for the 417 visa?
Thanks so much 🙂
How did it go? I might be in a similar situation. Much appreciated.
Hi, it says in the article you can’t arrive in Australia before your 1st WHV is granted. On the Australian Immigration website it says
“You can apply for a visitor visa to come to Australia while you are waiting on an application outcome so long as the temporary visa matches your intentions”.
I’m waiting on my WHV to be granted but I’ve been granted a visitor visa also. Do you know if there would be any problems if I waited for my WHV while in Australia on my visitor visa?
Useful article, thank you! I was wondering if you’ve received any more information about if a screenshot of your account is accepted?
Hi! According the feedbacks in our facebook groups, a screenshot (in english) is accepted. 🙂
Merci pour l’article! Juste une question: vous n’avez plus besoin d’un certificat de naissance?
Bonjour Bruno, l’Australie ne demande pas ce document pour le Working Holiday Visa 🙂
