    I think you can stay on a holiday visa for three months and if you get a working holiday visa you can stay for a year.

    Moving this over to Rec > Travel > Australia NZ ... they're more expert on WHV rules than we are.

    You cant come to Australia without a visa unless you are a citizen.

    You need to apply for 3 or 6 month tourist visa, if you want to stay longer you can apply for WHV which will give you 12-24 months. You can only apply for the WHV outside of Australia.

    6 month holiday visa is your best bet if yu are 100% not staying for the year, no point getting the whv if you won't use it all (as you only get one shot at a 1stWHV, and 2nd is dependant on that)
