Can I apply for a working holiday visa at age 30 and get the full 12 months?
I am British and approaching 30 years old and would like to apply for a Working Holiday (subclass 417) visa in Australia. If I successfully apply and enter the country already age 30 and a bit am I still able to enjoy the full twelve months duration or does the visa expire as I turn 31 a few months later? From what I can gather from the immigration pages the twelve month duration is universal as long as I am within the age limit upon arrival but I would like to check this understanding before applying.
Although Australia is the main place I am considering, I would also be interested to know whether the answer to this question is more broadly applicable.
