    That all depends on DIAC Aus Immigration and what your record says.

    Really the only way to be sure is declare it on your application. If you dont get it at least you know. Its a WHV not the end of the world.

    Best of Luck.

    Not declaring it would be illegal and boards.ie does not let posters suggest ways of breaking the law.

    If you get a WHV and haven't declared but then decide you want to stay in Aus it will come back to bite you.
