As part of the Migration Strategy, the Government announced that it would not provide any new allocations for the BIIP while a new talent and innovation visa was considered. The new National Innovation visa will be available at the end of 2024.
On 16 September 2024, India officially joined the Working Holiday Maker visa program. They became the 50th Working Holiday Maker partner country. We have reached this agreement under the Australia-India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (AI-ECTA).
From 1 October 2024, eligible Indian passport holders can register in a visa ballot. This gives them the possibility to be randomly selected to apply for a first Work and Holiday visa to Australia. We will invite selected participants to lodge an online visa application.
Each program year we may grant a first Work and Holiday visa up to 1,000 eligible Indian citizens aged between 18 and 30. They can then visit Australia for one year, and undertake work and short-term study while holidaying. If they meet certain requirements, they are eligible to apply for a subsequent Work and Holiday visa.
For information on the Work and Holiday visa ballot for India including the registration and selection open and closing dates, contact Migration Hub Team.
