Austrailia offers work & holiday visa for Indians under 30

Australian Assistant Minister for Immigration Matt Thistlethwaite on Monday participated in a launch event for a Working Holiday Maker visa program for India, which is Australia’s 51st partner country for the initiative.

The programme allows up to 1,000 eligible Indian citizens aged between 18 and 30 to seek a Work and Holiday visa valid for a year. Those selected for the programme can visit Australia for one year, and work and study for a short term while holidaying. If they meet certain requirements, they could also apply for a subsequent Work and Holiday visa.

This partnership was reached under the Australia-India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (AI-ECTA).
