  1. Whart country are you fromand what country do you want to work in?  it is vaery difficult to get a work visa in a foreign country.  You need to go to the website of the embassy of the country you are interested in to your country. For instance if you are American and want to go to Australia...go to  the website of the embassy of Australia to the U.S.  Look under visas to research the requirements.  Usually you have to find an employer first and that employer sponsors your work visa.  Also, you need to be highly educated and skilled and have abilities in a field in which they need workers.  NO country has a casual work visa for low-skilled jobs.


  2. A working holiday visa for Australia allows you to travel around Australia for 12 months with the opportunity to work.

    This visa can be applied online, you can see the requirements here http://www.nationalvisas.com.au/working/...

    Since it's a temporary visa, I believe you will not be entitled to receive public health care or social security benefits.

  3. Visit your Australian Embassy.

  4. The Australian working holiday visa rules vary according to your country of origin.

    If you are from the US, there is the 462 Working Holiday visa (for tertiary educated people between 18 and 30).

    If you are from the UK, Canada and some other countries, there is 417 visa which is also for people between 18 and 30 but you don't need a tertiary education.

    Both of the above allow you to stay and work for 12 months in any type of job, but you must not work for more than 6 months with a single employer.

    http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-... has all the info.

    Visas are also available for skilled workers to fill shortages in certain occupations. The above website has info about skilled visas.

  5. There are many different types of working visa available to enter Australia.

    The easiest is the"young persons working holiday" visa, which is available to those aged 18 to 30, valid for (I think) 13 months, but allows work only to a maximum of 3 months with any one employer. It is designed to allow "young people" to have an extended holiday in Australia & finance themselves whilst over here.

    For all of the answers to all of your questions regarding Australian Immigration & visa's etc, follow this link to the very comprehensive government site:

    Ignore the waffle about embassies that Charlie has posted, it is incorrect and will waste your time.
