After completing the first Working Holiday visa, applicants can change to different visas depending on their requirements in Australia, such as the Second Working Holiday visa, Tourist visa, Student visa, Skilled Migration visa, Partner visa, etc.
 

Subclass 417 visa allows young nationals (18-30/35 years) to reside, study, work, and travel in Australia for up to 1 year. Once the first Working Holiday visa expires, they can apply for a second and third Working Holiday visa, which will allow an applicant to stay in the country for up to 3 years individually. Foreign nationals can also apply for different visa options to stay in Australia longer.

Australia Visa options to apply after a Working Holiday Visa

Once the Working Holiday visa expires still, an applicant can apply for other visa options to extend their stay in Australia, such as:
 

Second Working Holiday visa

After completing the three months of specified work, an applicant must apply for a Second Working Holiday visa before the first expires.

Australia Tourist visa
 

Once the working holiday visa expires, a Tourist visa can also be an option. A Tourist visa allows an applicant to stay up to three months in the country and explore Australia for tourism. This visa is suitable for those who just want to visit Australia for tourism purposes.

Australia Student visa

Temporary Graduate visa (Subclass 485)
 

International Graduates who have studied in Australia can apply for a Temporary Graduate visa (Subclass 485) to live, work, and study in the country for 2-3 years and look for jobs.
