179 days for the third year visa, simplified.

The 179 days are usually required when applying for a third Working Holiday Visa 417.

What changes from the second year?

For the third year, the specified work is generally completed while holding the second WHV, on or after 1 July 2019. You need stronger tracking because the period is longer and mistakes compound quickly.

Plan earlier

Start tracking from the first week. Save proof as you go, and do not rely on memory at the end of the visa.

Keep proof

• Payslips and bank payments.
• Employer details and ABN.
• Contract, roster and postcode evidence.
