If a new covid rule comes into motion, we all adapt together, that’s the rule. If you need to isolate, isolate correctly, remember your P’s & Q’s when you are at a party, you have flatmates now. 

If you are asked to wear a mask, please do and so will we. We promise to always go the extra mile and have your back, the last two years gave us an epic opportunity to better our product. More options, better protected.

Covid has changed the landscape for many businesses, accommodation is one to look at closely. In the good old days finding a room to share in a party house was easy enough, epic fun also. These are now mostly closed. Landlords offering room by room tenancies have almost all fallen away. We have not! Supply has gone down 50%, we have 50% fewer beds available than pre covid, but enough to cope with 20 new arrivals per week.

You must be willing to use all options as available on your arrival dates. We have our own houses, blocked out rooms in a hotel which cost the same as a single room in a house share. That’s a win! We also have an exclusive allocation for shared dorm-style rooms, from twin-share to six-bed rooms. If none of our offerings are for you, you are free to try another option and try us again at a later stage. Some of these options are ideal for post-travel, we can even set you up to volunteer for your room and food if things get tough during your trip.

The longer you stay, the cheaper your rent gets!!

The Tier 5 Youth Mobility Visa allows you to work in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland for a 2-year duration from the date you enter the United Kingdom.
You are permitted to leave and re-enter the UK any number of times within this period.
Processing times for the Visa can vary from 4-6 weeks so you will need to leave sufficient time to apply before your intended travel dates. We recommend you apply at least 2 months before you intend to travel. There is a fast-track service however the British High Commission charges an additional fee for this.
Once your Visa is granted, your passport will be returned to you with an entry clearance stamp for a 30-day duration, from the date you have chosen in your application. You will then be required to enter the UK within this period and pick up what is called your Biometrics Residency Permit.

Your Visa Fees are payable to the British High Commission.

• Immigration Healthcare Surcharge (IHS) £940 GBP
• Visa Application Fee £244 GBP
• Applications from Brisbane, Canberra or Perth, will incur an additional fee of $105AUD to book your biometrics appointment.
• If you choose to have your passport couriered then this will cost $24AUD. You can however opt to pick this up from your appointment location centre.

These fees are non-refundable if your application is unsuccessful. In 2017 over 40% of first-time applicants were rejected because of simple omissions and commonly made mistakes. Because the Visa application is entirely computer-processed, applications can be rejected for errors as small as an incorrect date on a bank statement.

This is why we recommend using our visa service and taking the stress away. Our professional licensed migration agents will help you every step of the way to ensure your application is approved the first time around.

100% first-time approval guaranteed, or you will receive a full refund.

Easy! Just ring us on 1300 295 579, or email enquiry@theworkingholidayclub.com

Our Jumpstart London program runs year-round so you can choose any week (except Christmas) that you’ll be arriving! Please keep in mind that this is our most popular program by far and weekly numbers are capped. So you will want to plan on applying at least 6 months in advance to secure your spot. Of course, if you are leaving quite soon, we do have applicants pull out last minute or go travelling so it’s always worth checking if we can fit you in!
Important: Keep in mind the Visa process will take approximately 4-8 weeks and you will need to be in your home country while applying for this.

Absolutely. If you have your heart set on a sail Croatia or want to go back-packing in Asia for two months; we’ll make sure everything is organised before you leave, and everything is ready for when you get to London.

It isn’t mandatory, but we certainly recommend it for everyone going over on our programs.
As part of your Visa fees, will be £600 for your Immigration Healthcare Surcharge. This allows you access to the NHS and standard health cover while you are in the United Kingdom on the Tier 5 Youth Mobility Visa.
Like Medicare here in Australia, it covers some medical expenses and does not cover others. Here are some links that will help give you some more information;
www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigration-application/overview
www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/thenhs/about/Pages/overview
Of course, you will only be covered while you are in the United Kingdom. So if you are at any point travelling to Europe or elsewhere, you will want to make sure you are covered for any accidents or emergencies.
We partner with Allianz and Aussie Travel Cover to offer travel insurance at competitive rates for any of our participants heading over to the UK who require coverage.

To be eligible for the Tier 5 Youth Mobility Visa, you will need to be at least 18 years of age, or have applied by your 31st birthday.
If you are currently 17, we may be able to start your application so that all your documents and paperwork are ready to submit once you turn 18.

In most cases it won’t be a problem. As long as you are giving us at minimum 30 days notice, then we will be able to postpone your Jumpstart London program until a later date.
If your Visa has already been approved however, conditions may apply.
