To travel to Australia under certain programs that imply long-term stay, as well as specific types of activities, such as work or study, it is necessary to obtain a visa (corresponding entry permit).

In Australia, there are two types of visas for trips under the 'work and travel' program: Working Holiday Visa (subclass 417) and Work and Holiday Visa (subclass 462). The choice of visa subcategory in this case depends on the nationality of the applicant. 

Both visa subclasses (462 and 417) have three subtypes:

• First Work and Holiday / Working Holiday visa
• Second Work and Holiday / Working Holiday visa
• Third Work and Holiday / Working Holiday visa

Thus, anyone who has obtained the first visa is entitled to apply for the Work and Holiday category twice more. A mandatory condition is the need to work the minimum set period (at least 3 calendar months) in Australia under the previous visa. 

General requirements for obtaining the first visa:

• Candidates must be aged between 18 and 30 (or 35 for some countries)
• No previous visa refusals or cancellations.
• No previous entries into Australia under subclass 462 or 417 visa. 
• Availability of financial means sufficient for the duration of stay in Australia. On average, 5000 Australian dollars for the initial stay, plus covering the cost of a ticket out of Australia. 
• No dependents. Applicants should not be accompanied by children or other dependents. 
• Compliance with health and character requirements set by the Australian government. 
• Application made outside Australia.

Important: Passport holders from China, India, and Vietnam must participate in a preliminary visa application process (voting) and be randomly selected to apply for the first Work and Holiday visa (subclass 462).
