Working Holiday (O

Really wanting to go on a 3 month working holiday in Oz but not really sure how to go about it. My plan is to go in early 2015 and work most of it. I know what kinda visa I need but if I want to for then when should I apply for visa? Or can i get a visa and it wouldn't start to run out until I enter the country?

How do I go about getting a job? Should I try and get one before I go?

What money would I need to start me
off?..remember I plan to work most of the time?

thanks in advance guys!
Have a look at BUNAC :smile:

Read the sticky on Australia and search it for things of interest. It covers almost everything you could want to know

Apply for the visa whenever, it is valid to enter for a year from issue then you get the year from date of entry to stay. It's online and takes no time to come back.

Though unless you do regional work in Oz to get your second visa then you only get one in your life time. I think it's a bit of a waste to go for just 3 months and work all of it and getting a job isn't as easy as it once was (see my recent posts in the sticky). You need £2800 to enter Australia, they don't always check but going without it is a risk. You won't find a job before you go.
