    I have a few questions and hope you can answer them.

    I want to leave in the next 6 months should I apply asap as there are only a limited amount of work visas ? Or can I apply when ever

    Where should I go in Australia and live ?

    And lastly how much do apartments cost to rent ? Just a rough figure

    Thanks

    not just that simple iam afraid.

    you need to provide more info about yourself if you want to get help in what visa you can apply for
    age
    qualifications
    experience
    purpose of trip, work or holiday
    and stop opening up threads all over the shop:eek::D

    If you are talking about WHV then you can apply when ever, takes 12-78hrs to process.

    Where to live .... Only you can answer that, we know nothing about you, no interests, no work exp etc, can't answer

    Apartments cost in big cities 350 upwards pw, most people rent in a shared apartment to save money. Have a look on domain.com.au and gumtree.com.au

    I'll close your other thread, as I've answered it here

    It starts when you first enter Australia but has to be used within 12 months of it being granted.

    Hi Nathan

    Just stumbled upon your thread. I just got my visa granted on Wednesday through immi.gov.au it took 15 mins max to apply, and was granted within 30 mins! Amazing! It was €217.00 / $270AUD. I'm 24, Irish, lived in the UK for 2 years with a diploma level education, nothing special!
    I shopped around a bit first and from advice from friends who have done it they advised the direct route is best and cheapest as most agents offer bank accounts and sim cards which you can do yourself easily and for free anyway whereas the agents charge you an additional admin fee!
    Hope this helps, best of luck.
    Fiona
