The Australian Federal Government have increased the number of work and holiday visas on offer to migrants. Senator Chris Evans, revealed that this increase would take the number of work and holiday visas from 500 to 1,500.
Mr. Evans sees this increase as an important change for those migrants coming from Chile especially, making it easier to obtain an Australian visa so that they can “…experience the different cultures and have a closer contact with the local community.”
He adds that so far the scheme has been well received from Chilean people and urged Australians to take up this visa opportunity. It allows people to enter the country to study towards a tertiary qualification for up to four months or to work for a maximum of six months in a 12 month stay. It was recently revealed by Shelter Offshore that many people want to get a visa to Australia for its lifestyle.
