Major Announcement from Australia: BNO passport holders can now work in Australia for three years with no specific job requirements!

This arrangement by Australia comes as a pleasant surprise for Hong Kong residents! It is made possible through the Australia-UK Free Trade Agreement. Starting from July 1st this year, the age limit for BNO passport holders applying for the Working Holiday Visa has been increased from 30 to 35 years, allowing a stay of up to three years, including three separate 12-month visas.

Currently, other countries’ passport holders applying for Working Holiday Visas have specific job requirements, such as working on a farm for at least six months or not being able to work for the same employer for an extended period. However, under this new agreement, BNO passport holders applying for the Working Holiday Visa are not subject to these “specific job requirements.”

According to the Australian Department of Home Affairs website, individuals holding a Working Holiday Visa with a passport from another territory, and also holding a BNO passport, can apply for a second and third visa using their BNO passport, extending their stay in Australia to up to 3️ years!

This news offers BNO passport holders a more favorable Working Holiday Visa, making it a great opportunity for Hong Kong residents to consider.
