Australia Work Visa for people over 30?

It was always a dream to work and travel Australia and New Zealand, but I never quite had the guts and money to do so. I am a 32 year old German girl (who currently lives in Barcelona).

I figure it's kinda my last chance, before I get really, really old and my question is, do you know if there's some kind of limited Australia work visa for over 30's?

And if not, could I just risk it and go with a tourist visa and still find fruit-picking or farm work? Are the restrictions for Australia and New Zealand the same?
Thanks!

Re: Australia Work Visa for people over 30?

Your last chance? Before you get really old? Eat your vegies and keep active, and you have another 40 years before you get really old!

Ok, about the work visa: unfortunately there is no such thing as a limited Australia work visa for older people. The working holiday visa is for people up to 30 and that's it.

There are other ways to get permission to work in Australia, but they would involve studying or some kind of employer sponsorship, something that ties you to a specific job for a limited time. You would not have the freedom to travel and work on your own terms, for a full year, as you do with the Working Holiday Visa.

Could you come over on a tourist visa and work regardless? Sure. But how risky it is depends very much on where exactly you are, at what time, and who you work for.

Is it worth the risk? That's a question only you can answer.

You can pick up fruit picking jobs and farm work and just lie about your status and visa. Not all employers check the paper work. But it is not as easy as it used to be.

Some farmers will be happy to put you on and cover for you, knowing very well that you don't have a working visa. They have no choice if they want to get their crop harvested.

It is possible to pick up the odd cash-in-hand job here and there.

There are also options to work in exchange for bed and board (e.g. through schemes like Wwoof).

If this is your first time over here, it will take you a while to make the connections and find the right places and people. Wwoofing is a good start in that direction.

I would suggest you do not count on paying for your whole trip by working over here. I'd rather look at the work as a way to make the trip very affordable to nearly free, and to see a side of Australia that most people won't see.

As for New Zealand, the normal working holiday visa is also restricted to people between 18 and 30. I don't know all the details of their regulations, but would expect them to be similar. (Check out the VOC, that may be an opportunity for you.)

I am currently in Oz on a year working visa but want to extend to 2 years but I turn 31 in Sept and would not have time to complete my fruit picking. Can I get it any other way?

Extending a working holiday visa
by: Birgit

As far as I am aware you are only eligible for a second year if you complete at least three months of specified work in regional Australia AND if you are still under 31 at the time of application for the extension.

As usual, you can read all the details regarding eligibility for the second year here, on the government site.

You can always check all the other Australian working visa options.

If you are from the UK and are over 31 you can get a working holiday visa for Oz with Bunac... they charge you a lot of money for it but check it out.

Over 30
by: Anonymous

I stayed in Sydney for over 12 months working on a 3 month holiday visa, it isn't hard to find a job if you have a talent that someone is looking for regardless of visa status. I did have to declare myself an illegal immigrant before I caught my flight home tho, I received a 3 month ban from returning to Oz. I've since been back without problems.

Still risky
by: Birgit

Overstaying a tourist visa is one thing. Getting caught working illegally is a very different one...
You didn't get caught. Others may not be so lucky.

Hi, I would love to work in Australia for at least 20 years. The reason for this is that my wife is pregnant and due very soon and my first born is going to start school soon, she's 5. So if I add up and do my calculations I'm looking at at least 20 years of living in Australia where they will go to school and then come back to SA to study full time. My wife will stay home and look after the kids while DOWN UNDER. That's my plan. My brother is in AUS at the moment. That's brilliant... Wish me luck. Next year is my chance.

Hello all, I am 29 year old male from Greece. I am fed up with the current financial situation here in Greece and I want to go to Sydney to get a proper job and live in a proper country. To be fair, it is not that I haven't had a proper job here in Greece. I have worked for two big multinational advertising firms, but the money sucked! Anyway, due to the high cost and the long wait until the issuing of a working visa, I have decided to book a flight and get to Australia with a simple holiday visa. As soon as I get to Australia - I've got a very good friend there and I'll be staying over - I will start looking for jobs. If I find one, I will get the working visa and stay there. If I don't find a job within 3 months, when my stay ends, I will go back to Greece to work for a low wage, if I am lucky enough to find a job!

Please let me know what you think about my plan.

Thank you

Migration Visa
by: Anonymous

My advice to you is get a tourist visa either a three month or twelve month (if you have sufficient funds you will qualify).

Once you are in the country you can either look for a sponsor or apply for skilled migration visa. The skilled migration visa at the moment is an extremely slow process literally years sponsorship or an ens visa is a great option both come through pretty fast.

Also if you lodge a working visa application in the country you automatically can get a bridging work visa if you are off shore you do not and have to appeal the process.

As I am sure you know western Australia and regional Australia visas come through much faster. My advice is do your homework very well and be extremely careful of migration agents a lot are about the golden dollar.

That has been my experience I hope it helps some of you.

Why if you've been offered work in oz, visa is only for up to 30 years of age? Surely there’s life after 30; I got offered work in WA but I’m in my 40s and haven't a payer unless you get some capital. So in my opinion, that’s age discrimination. Anyone else has the same problem?

Everbody wants to go..go..
by: Mark R H

Well, I spent a great year in 95/96 on a 12 month working holiday visa (then as a 23/24 yr old) and returned the following year on a 6 month tourist visa - I loved backpacking and hitching around Oz and I was getting over $10 per hour then (£5) cash in hand, that's 20 years ago. Now in the UK the minimum wage is a paltry £6.50 an hour. I'd love to go back to Oz, one of my favourite countries out of over 30 travelled - Maybe I could swap my British passport for an Aussie one? I'd give up Britain anyday, it's a banana republic. Maybe the Aussie Govt should consider over 40s for working holiday visas - we don't all have a ball and chain mortgage and want to spend our lives in the same boring 9-5!!

Has anyone else had problems while applying for their second year working holiday visa? I worked the mandatory minimum of three months from the 29/7/14 until the 28/10/14. I worked for one employer the whole time but they only gave me two days a week work however I was still employed by them full time. Now the visa department are talking about denying my visa. Anyone else had this problem who could lend a hand and give some advice? I've searched the internet high and low and I'm desperate to get back to Oz. Thanks

I've just come back from Oz on a holiday visa. Only 5 weeks and I fell in love with W.A. My cousin has now got a sponsorship :). However, I'm 37 years old! I have been looking for admin sponsorship jobs & haven't found anything for 457 sponsorship. I've also got friends who now have residency before 31. I've been told about family sponsoring you or the government. Instead of 457 sponsorship through an employer.
I just seem to be going round in circles! Would really like to be out there at end of this year.

Heeello !!

I'd love to apply for a working holiday visa for AUSTRALIA unfortunately I've got to wait another 3 weeks before I have the okay from my office.

My Question: I'm turning 31 on the 12th of April - If I'll apply for the visa in the beginning of April, still being 30, and get the Visa (with waiting time for the confirmation) after I turned 31 - is it still okay? Or does it only work if I'll get the stamp|okay when I'm still 30?
Also, I'm a pre school teacher - is it possible that they'll want a health check as well ?

mmh, thanks a ton for your answer <3

No Kelly
by: Anonymous

Kelly nobody seems to respond - well I'am now but I've not the answer to your question - Australian immigration formalities are a nightmare for everyone- I wouldn't bother - just go on a 6 month tourist visa and seek work, cash in hand, whatever. They like to make things difficult so subvert the system - don't do it by the book - it's a waste of time. Oh and don't carry your CV of work travel guides in your baggage and don't take a smart phone - just a dumb phone without internet. When you are in Auz get your CV sent over via the PC in local libraries. NO.WORRIES.
