Hi! I’m an American currently studying in Australia and graduating in December, however I don’t have to be back in the US until May. I’ve been considering getting a work and holiday visa subclass 462.
My problem is that you must apply for the visa while being OUTSIDE of Australia. However obviously I am in Australia. Would I be able to take a trip to NZ, apply for the visa, and then come back once it is approved? Or will I have to go back to my country of residence?
Also wondering if it will be an issue that I am currently in the country while my student visa is still valid. I’m not sure there’s a way to “extend”/transfer my student visa to a work and holiday visa.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
