Working Holiday Visa's

In Australia on a working visa atm. Getting a job is a lot harder than advertised. Lots of places want to rip you off. Horse farmers in particular, no clue why.

Just think, for every backpacker you hear talking about making big bucks in Oz, Im guessing atleast a handfull had to go back home broke and empty handed.

Every country is different. I'm one of the ones that made a killing in Oz. There's very few who make a killing doing farm work... And it's not the backpackers who get those jobs. So if you do your 88 days to get the 2nd year visa then get out of that shit. The farm work soured my experience in Oz. You know it's bad when the Abbos don't even wanna do it. Lolol.

To answer your question, OP: you're supposed to have X amount of money in the bank to prove that you can survive while you find a job. I went with - 3000 in the bank and left with like 18k after 5 months. Luckily, I didn't get checked by the officer on the way in or I would've been fucked.

Where were you and what were you doing that enabled you to make that much money in 5 months?

Melbourne bartending. I also have experience in marketing so I did that for the club in the daytime. Tbh, I made more now that I think about it. That 18 was only counting 1 job. And I had 2 other ones on the side for some extra cash

The agricultural industry is built on backpackers now. We get most of their super when they leave too.
