Ireland
Working Holiday Visa

If you are already 30 you can apply for the Ireland Working Holiday Visa but you will have to leave Ireland before your 31st birthday – which means you will not be able to use the full validity of the visa. We recommend you apply before your 30th birthday so you can stay the full 12 months in Ireland.

Alternatively you can register online here and complete the application form. We will then contact you by phone.

You should apply for your Ireland Work and Holiday Visa approximately three months prior to your intended arrival in Ireland. The latest date that your visa can be dated is three months from the day it is issued. If you apply more than three months in advance the visa will start three months from the date of issue.

Your Irish Working Holiday Visa entitles you to multiple entries into Ireland during its validity, however, all time spent outside Ireland after first arriving will be included in the one year total.

Yes, you must have sufficient funds to partially support yourself during your stay in Ireland. For example, a bank statement showing evidence of:
From Australia: AU$2,500 plus a return ticket or AU$5,000.

The Ireland working holiday visa is valid for 12 months but Australian visa holders cannot work for any one employer for longer than 6 months.

Yes, but your children or spouse cannot accompany you to Ireland on your Irish Visa. However, your spouse may apply for a working holiday visa as well.

Yes. If you have been granted an Irish Working Holiday Visa before, but you never ended up going to Ireland, you can apply for another one.

Yes, but in order to apply for a Working Holiday Visa to Ireland from the UK you must have a valid UK visa. It is not possible to apply from within the UK without having a valid UK visa or if you are in the UK and your visa has expired.

There is no certain period that you have to spend outside Ireland so that you could go back as a visitor. You simply need to leave Ireland once your working holiday visa expires and then can re-enter as a tourist for up to 3 months. However it will be good if you have a bank statement showing that you will be able to support yourself during your stay.

If you hold an Irish visa, you will be allowed to work only in Ireland. To work in the UK you must obtain the relevant work visa.

The Irish visa allows you to work only in Ireland. If you want to work in the UK you must apply for the appropriate work visa type.

I don’t think that you will be able to process your application with the Irish Embassy in London as they are organizing it only for Australians who are in the UK. I presume that you will have to lodge your application with the Irish embassy in Canada.

When applying for the Irish working holiday visa you must provide an original bank statement showing that you have AUS$2,500 and a return ticket or AUS$5,000 (this is approximately £ 3000 if you don’t have a return ticket or £ 1500 if you do).

If your French Schengen visa was issued as a Multi Entry one and is still valid there should be no problem to travel to the Netherlands directly or to any other Schengen country without going to France at all.

You need to provide either a ticket that you will leave Ireland once the visa expires or you simply need to have more funds available in your bank statements so that you could purchase a ticket once you’re due to leave.

If you are eligible to apply for the Irish working holiday visa there is no problem to apply for it while you’re in the UK.

Please be advised that the Irish Working Holiday visa allows you to work only in Sothern Ireland as Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom.

I presume that you’re asking about the Irish working holiday visa. If so there is absolutely no problem to use your scholarship as proof of income. As long as you’re able to provide the required minimum of sufficient funds of AUD 5000 (or the equivalent in GBP) or AUD 2500 (or the equivalent) and a photocopy of an air return ticket this will be just fine.

When you apply for the visa you must provide proof of sufficient funds. Still you might be required to show proof of funds to support yourself upon arrival in Ireland.
