This visa is for people aged 18 to 30 who want to holiday and work in Australia for up to one year. The Australian Embassy in Vietnam processes Work and Holiday visa applications for persons who hold Vietnamese passports.
Under the Vietnam/Australia Work and Holiday program an annual limit of 200 Work and Holiday visas are available each year. Once all visas have been allocated, there will be no new visa grants until the following visa programme year.
Interest and demand for visas under this program is typically very high and it is recommended that applicants should prepare their visa applications early to avoid disappointment.
