Default WHV question ?

We've had a lad from the uk staying with us for the last 6 months on a WHV valid from Nov 07 to Nov 08.
He goes home on Thursday and was telling me today he would like to come back but is under the impression he can't apply for another WHV ever again ?

Is he correct ?

I was thinking that maybe his unused 6 months could be used at a later date ?

Anyone know ?
Thanks

The lad is right unfortunately... He could come back as a tourist without the option to work... or will have to go through the dreaded visa process like the rest of us poor unfortunate souls

Hmmm - ok thanks for that. I think we may be having another talk tomorrow. He's having cold feet about going back when he could potentially have another 18 months here.

Hi, as far as i know and someone will correct me if i'm wrong, if he has been in work for at least 3 months while staying in OZ he could apply for a second WHV, i think he could apply for it inside Australia. He would still have to be under 31 years of age and maybe more criteria to meet, i'm not sure.
Hope this helps.
Ian....

So if i'm reading this right, if you lived in perth you could not apply for a second WHV.

If his working holiday visa only expires in November 2008, he can return to Australia at any point before then and use up the remaining validity of his working holiday visa (although he would have to either leave Australia or apply for another visa before the expiry date).

Yes that is correct, if he has spent 6 months living & working in Perth only he cannot apply for a second WHV. He can only apply for a 2nd WHV if he has worked for 3 months, in one of the listed regional postcodes & typically in the primary industries e.g, fruit picking etc.
