After your visa is approved how much time do you have to move? Is there a time window? I don't want to apply to early and regret it for whatever reason later

@stef2282 Год назад

I didn't have insurance or have a flight home, took £800 with me but luckily managed to get a job within 3 days of arriving in Sydney and made it work! I had to work hard for a good 2 months to get on my feet though but was really glad I done it. Best experience of my life & highly recommend it to anyone! (going to Aus that is, not going to Aus with only £800 ha!)

@DainLuka Год назад

Wow that’s lucky ! Yep you can always make it work 👏 thanks for watching

@tvetenomeister7018 Год назад

Hi Stef, just a quick question on how you got the whv as they ask you to provide your bank details and recommend that you have 5k ausd in the application. Thank you in advance for your time and hope for a quick reply 🙏 😊

@giovannisangiacomo9135 Год назад

So you applied with only 800 and they apprived you for the visa? Because I'm saving up for the $5000 AUD so I can apply when I have enough but do I not have to wait till I have that much?

@stef2282 Год назад

@@tvetenomeister7018 If you have a credit card or overdraft with any balance on there, thats also classed as funds you have access too.

@saratatty Год назад

Lol! Okay thankfully you had answered a question I had😅😅, so as long as you have over draft protection, that's considered funds! Very good to know haha, that just reduced tons of stress on my end

Thank you so much for this informative video! I've had the question of whether I could survive on the $5000 until finding a job. I now feel confident that would be enough for my plan. THANK YOU! I've seen so many different amounts people have taken and this has made my life so much easier thank you so much!

@DainLuka 4 месяца назад

Thanks for watching ! That’s a hard question to answer people come with such different amounts 😂 but yeah I’d say 5k minimum!

Great video. A lot of info. Basically, have lots of extra cash so you can have a good holiday. I've lived in Sydney for 44 years and the increase in the cost of living can shock if one is not prepared.

Food is cheaper in the suburban stores of the same supermarket chains. Prices around the city centre are higher.

@DainLuka Год назад

You know I’ve since moved to Wollongong and found the food WAY cheaper here i was so limited in the city 🙌🏻

Love your videos already im just unsure about something though regarding health insurance the one you mentioned will this cover any gp appointments in Australia will it be the same level of care as in the UK?

@TenOrbital Год назад

The high vegetable prices were because a lot of market-garden farms lost crops from record high rains and floods especially in NSW. I’ve never seen fresh food inflation as bad as this, including during the fires and covid. It’s been a wild few years.

@DainLuka Год назад

ah that explains it! this happened as I moved here so I was shocked at the price of food! thanks for watching Mike!

Hey going to Austrália soon, how can I find the 88 days works jobs? I’m going to spend a week in Sydney to get some things solved but after that I need to go to a cheaper city, what do you think of Cairns, Adelaide and Wollongong? Thanks

@bebogal94 Год назад

Thank you sm for putting out this video! I'd like to see some recommendations on Cairns hehe (I'm heading there for my WHV next year!). Do you know if it is as expensive up there as well, even for someone who is planning on finding work straight away? Have an awesome weekend :)!

Can you study with working holiday visa?

@MA-ox5jl Год назад

Hi great video. Do you have to do farming work with the work and holiday visa, or can it be any type of job? Also, can you apply if you're 34 and live in the UK? Thanks

@justbradley5930 Год назад

Don't have to do farming work anymore. It also can't be any job. Can't apply over 30.

@MA-ox5jl Год назад

@justbradley5930 thank you for your reply. I'll just wait till i turn 35 as I still have that option as a UK citizen based on the immigration website.

Hi, did you look for and apply for jobs before you moved there? If so, where did you look? Really hoping to do this after this summer

@DainLuka Год назад

I reached out for jobs before hand but you can start looking when you get here too :)

@laytheng3749 Год назад

So Means that , aud5000 is just a roughly but in fact we need more than that ?? If yes , what amount would u suggest let’s say the very first or 2 month unable / yet to secure any job while accommodation n daily food is a must spent😅 Thanks much for this video

@DainLuka Год назад

It’s honestly hard to say ! My advice would just be save as much as you can for what you need 😊 thanks for watching !

@rrrimve 2 месяца назад

Can the proof of funds be my father's bank account and how old would you suggest it to be on the safe side? Please note I cannot have 5000 AUD in my bank account as I am being sponsored.

@DainLuka 6 месяцев назад

Im 95% yes as long as you have access to $5000 that counts!

@user-il4lh7bt4v 6 месяцев назад

How old maximum should the bank statement needs to be i.e. 3 months, 6 mothhs etc? What would you suggest?@@DainLuka

@workara8257 Год назад

5000 for the first weeks or a month ? jeezus heading there soon but boy id not want to burn through it so quickly...

@DainLuka Год назад

$5000 AUS is about £2800 ! So if you wanted to travel for a few weeks and have enough for accomodation before working I think that’s perfect! You’ll be surprised how expensive it is 😅

None. Your visa is linked to your passport!

@HombreWithAnOmbre 10 месяцев назад

After your visa is approved how much time do you have to move there? Is there a time window?

@tbow6719 10 месяцев назад

No I'm pretty sure you have the entire year to enter from the date you bought it and then your visa will start from the date of entering the country

@DainLuka 10 месяцев назад

You have 1 year to enter and activate the visa !

What about filing for taxes as a freelancer? Is digital nomad work even allowed on a WHV? As I understand it, you’re supposed to be limited in what fields you can work.

People are horrible with money and can't budget for a monthly bill turn around, and also, If you offer a monthly pay cycle to an Australian resident, nine times out of ten they will tell that employer to get fucked.
