United Kingdom route facts
Source-backed routeFirst subclass 417 Working Holiday
UK passport holders can check the first-year 417 route against age, funds, first-WHM history, dependant-child, and character/refusal answers.
- The United Kingdom is a subclass 417 passport country with an 18 to 35 age range for this route.
- The funds check is based on Home Affairs guidance that this is usually about A$5,000.
- UK and Ireland are both 417 markets, but repeat-year marketing must split because the later-year rules differ.
Guardrails
- Do not imply the Irish 88-day second-year message applies to UK passport holders.
- For dual nationals, base the claim on the passport used to apply.
