Australia Expands Working Holiday Visa Age Limit to 35
The Australian Department of Home Affairs announced an increase in the age limit for its Working Holiday visa (subclass 417) for citizens of four countries: Cyprus, Finland, Germany, and the Republic of Korea. Starting 1 July 2026, applicants from these nations can apply for the visa up to the age of 35, inclusive, which is an increase from the previous limit.
Eligible applicants may submit their applications until 11:59 pm Australian Eastern Standard Time on the day before their 36th birthday. The Department also indicated that due to a record number of Working Holiday Makers, processing times for applications will be adjusted, with the average expected to be around three months.
However, these processing times are only a guide and do not guarantee the duration for individual cases. Applicants can track their submissions and manage documentation through ImmiAccount, Australia's online immigration portal.
