Malaysia Sets Ten Conditions for Australian Work Visa

Malaysia's Immigration Department has published ten requirements for Australian citizens seeking the Work and Holiday visa. This program is intended for young adults aged between 18 and 30 at the time of application.

Applicants must possess a tertiary qualification or have completed at least two years of undergraduate study at a university. Proficiency in English, a valid passport, and either a return travel ticket or sufficient funds for one are mandatory.

Additional requirements include proof of adequate funds for living expenses, a clean criminal record, and a valid medical certificate from a qualified Australian doctor. Applicants cannot travel with dependent children and must not have previously participated in the program in either country.

Selected candidates must provide a confirmation letter from the relevant government ministry and may be called for an interview. The primary purpose of the visa is holidaying, with work being secondary, and restrictions apply to certain employment sectors.
