VISA INFORMATION (1) - Persons undertaking one of these Hospitality Placements will normally travel to Australia on one of the following visas.
Student Visa: These visas are granted when the student enrols in an accredited college or educational institution to study in Australia. Students who come to Australia to study are also entitled to do a Hospitality Placement. Student visas are not automatically granted with work rights, and so students may need to apply for that separately when or after applying for the visa. These visas are granted when the student enrols in an accredited college or educational institution to study in Australia. Cultural Cube cannot issue Student visas because you are undertaking a paid Hospitality Placement. Students are able to work for 20 hours a week and full time during their semester breaks. We currently have quite a number of students undertaking an Hospitality Placement on part time basis while studying at colleges and institutions. Part time placements are usually for longer periods which means the student gains more experience and spends more time with the employer. The student will receive a reference from the employer for a longer period!!
Working Holiday Visa: This is a 12** month visa, which permits the holder to join the Hospitality Placement Programme and stay with the first employer for a maximum of 3 months during the 12/24 months. This means that participants can work for more than 3 months but have to change employers every 3 months. Australia has a reciprocal agreement with certain countries thus allowing students from those countries to obtain the visa. These countries are Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Japan, Korea, UK, Ireland, Malta, Canada, Finland, Hong Kong, Italy, France, Belgium, Estonia and Taiwan. Australia is also negotiating with a number of other countries in order to be included on the working holiday visa scheme, so make sure you contact your nearest Australian embassy/consulate to check. Working holiday visas are great for students looking to combine their work-travel with some general sightseeing in Australia. You can also study for a maximum of 3 months on this visa. ** Applicants who wish to stay for 24 months must renew their 12 month visa and will need to prove that they have worked in 'fruit picking' or 'rural environment' for at least three months.
