Is it possible to have multiple working holiday visas (not EU)?
As I am approaching 31, I am thinking of giving working holiday a go. I am considering New Zealand, Australia and Japan. Would it be possible to apply for all three and then keep switching countries later? I know that once I get the Australian one, I have 12 months to use it, which theoretically would enable me to spend 2 years in those three countries. Does that 12 months buffer also apply to New Zealand and Japan?
I am a German citizen.
Best Answer
The 12 month period between grant and use also applies to New Zealand. From Germany Working Holiday Visa Conditions:
You must come to New Zealand within 12 months of the date your visa is granted.
After you arrive in New Zealand, you can come and go from New Zealand as many times as you like before your visa expires.
I can't find documentation that clarifies this for a Japanese working holiday visa (on https://www.de.emb-japan.go.jp/konsular/ferienarbeit.html).
