Ireland route facts
Source-backed routeThird subclass 417 Working Holiday
Irish third-417 users need a profile check because the route depends on two prior entered subclass 417 visas and second-year specified-work evidence.
- A third Irish 417 keeps the 18 to 35 age range and requires two prior entered subclass 417 visas.
- The specified-work test is 6 months during the second 417, defined as at least 179 calendar days under the Home Affairs counting rules.
- The repeat-417 application charge is a distinct current FY 2026-27 fee from the first-year 417.
Guardrails
- Do not collapse second- and third-year evidence into the same claim; the day counts differ.
- Do not send UK passport holders to Irish specified-work creative.
