    Hi,

    Has anyone that has done the WHV gotten checked for having the 5K AUS dollars? Do they do this check at the airport or when applying for your visa?

    Any help would be great!

    I didn't get checked at all. Not when applying for the visa, not when going through the airport and not when calling in to the immigration office in Melbourne to get my visa label stuck in my passport (although I have heard of people being asked about funds at this stage).

    Thanks for that. Also I was recieved my working holiday visa which was e-mailed to me. Will I get a more offical document before I leave or do I just remeber the visa number?

    Keep the email just in case anything goes pear shaped but that's it. It's an electronic visa so you don't get anything more official at this stage. When you arrive in Oz and go through the airport they scan your passport and they'll know if you have a visa or not. You will get a visa stamp stuck in but that depends where you fly in to. I think in Sydney it happens in the airport itself but in Melbourne I had to call down to the Immigration office and get them to stick it in.

    You're pretty much sorted. It's all very easy and painfree.
