2nd Year Visa on another passport

El Gringo

Hey guys,
Im currently in oz on my WHV thats coming close to an end in Feb.
I hold dual citizenship for Ireland and Canada.
Im here with my Irish passport, as I've never needed to hold both passports.
But I can get a canadian passport easily.

Is it possible to leave oz and come back with my canadian passport for another WHV??
Would they pick up on this? Or am I considered a different person with new visa entitlements?

Any info is appreciated, Cheers

I'm sure they'd cop it since you'd have the same DOB and city of birth etc

May be worth a try tho, if your details bar your name are different

Are you really willing to spend all the money and risk being turned back on a 24 hour flight?

This is actually illegal, you probably won't get advice on this here

Unless your name is in irish on the irish passport then you are unlikely to get aay with it.
2 passports is hugely common, and every immigration depart in the world would be aware of this "trick"

This is illegal and we do not give advice here on how to get around immigration.
