NEW WORK AND HOLIDAY (SUBCLASS 462) VISA PRE-APPLICATION PROCESS

Jasmine Ruffilli

New Work and Holiday (subclass 462) visa pre-application (ballot) process:

On the 1st of October 2024 the new pre-application process commenced for the 2024-2025 program year of the Work and Holiday Subclass 462 Visa.


The Australian government has put into place a visa pre-application (ballot) process for the high demand Work and Holiday (subclass 462) countries:

  • China

  • India

  • Vietnam


This ballot has been created to provide a fair, streamlined and transparent way to select applicants randomly from partner countries because the demand exceeds the number of places available in a program year. The registration fee for this ballot is AUD $25.00.

You may be onshore or offshore when you register. If you are selected, you can only apply for the First Work and Holiday visa from outside Australia.


Ballot registration period

  • The ‘registration period’ is the period you have to submit a registration in a program year. You cannot register before or after this period.

  • Each program year will have a specific ‘registration period’ for each country ballot. 


If your registration is randomly selected

  • The selection of registrations is a random, automated process. The system does not use any criteria to select registrations.

  • You will get notified if you are selected and receive an email that will invite you to apply for the first Work and Holiday (subclass 462) visa.

  • The 'Notification of selection' letter does not guarantee that you will be eligible to apply for or be granted a visa. You must meet all eligibility requirements to apply for and be granted the actual Visa AFTER you receive a successful ballot result.
