New Work and Holid​ay (subclass 462) visa pre‑​​​​⁠application process​​ (LOTTERY / BALLOT SYSTEM)

• In the 2024-25 program year, the Government will implement a visa pre-application (ballot) process with an AUD​25 registration fee for the following high-demand Work and Holiday (subclass 462) countries: China, Vietnam and India.
• This pre-application process, also known as a ‘ballot’, provides an equitable, streamlined and transparent means of randomly selecting applicants from partner countries where the number of registrations significantly exceeds the number of places available in a program year.

Commencement of new arrangements

• Registrations for the first Work and Holiday (subclass 462) visa ballots for China, Vietnam and India will open later in 2024.
• We will publish further information, including the registration open periods for each of these partner countries, later in 2024.

The visa pre-application (ballot) process
