Applying for 2nd WHV?
Hello,
My husband and I really want to go to Australia, but the visa process is taking a long time and we wondered if it's possible to apply for a WHV and then apply for a 175 visa at a later date?
If this is possible, we also need to know if my husband can get a 2nd WHV? He had one in 2000 when he went backpacking in his gap year-can he apply for another?
Many thanks

Re: Applying for 2nd WHV?
Yes, you can apply for a WHV and enter Australia whilst you are waiting for the 175. However, you will have to leave Australia once the 175 is granted to validate it.
Your husband could only apply for a second WHV if he meets these requirements: http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/work...ity-second.htm
