Ireland route facts
Source-backed routeSecond subclass 417 Working Holiday
Irish repeat-417 users need a profile check because the route depends on prior subclass 417 history, prior entry, and specified-work evidence.
- A second Irish 417 keeps the 18 to 35 age range and requires one prior entered subclass 417.
- The specified-work test is 3 months, defined as at least 88 calendar days at the normal full-time pattern for the role, under the subclass 417 work-and-area rules.
- The repeat-417 application charge is a distinct current FY 2026-27 fee from the first-year 417.
Guardrails
- Do not market this as a first-year route or as a UK no-specified-work route.
- The product should organise employment periods, work categories, areas, and evidence without presenting a simple day total as a Home Affairs verdict.
