88 Days, Farm Experience, Extensions and English Language Programmes  

For participants seeking farm work in order to qualify for a 2nd working holiday visa in Australia.

WORKING HOLIDAY VISA HOLDERS (417 & 462)
What is the 88 days programme ?
417 Working Holiday and 462 Work and Holiday Visa Holders are able to qualify for a 2nd working holiday visa year in Australia. To do so they are required to complete at least 88 days of full time qualifying farm work in rural Australia (417 visa) or complete 88 days of farm or hospitality work in Northern Australia (462 visa). 

The second year can run consecutively after the first, or can be 'banked', and used at any time up to the participant's 31st birthday. A great opportunity to have up your sleeve and a real bonus of our programmes. 

Our 88 day programme provides basic training and a guaranteed job to achieve the required number of working days to qualify for the 2nd visa.

English Language Courses
​Visitoz is proud to be working in conjunction with Lexis English to offer residential language courses as a preparation for work in rural Australia. 
​
Courses are available in several locations and in particular in Noosa on the Sunshine Coast. Courses start from 4 weeks and can include full time general English courses, Cambridge and IELTS preparation, EAP and English for Medical Professionals.
Studying in Noosa means that participants will not have extra travelling expenses, but can go direct to their home stay, student house or continue staying at Halse Lodge after their four day jet lag recovery. 

While studying at Lexis English, our recommended accommodation would be home stay as they would be speaking English all the time and learning more quickly.  It is also the best value. 

​We would also recommend four weeks at Lexis English, but it could be per week for as many weeks as they need.  The add-on cost for one week of English plus accommodation, registration, books and set up fees would be $1170, for two weeks $1860, three weeks $2550 and 4 weeks $3240. Participants can stay longer if necessary in order to reach the required level of 5.00 IELTS.   
​
Courses are available for participants from the following countries. 
​
Belgium
China
France
Hong Kong
Italy
Latin America
New Caledonia
​Portugal
