With the decision made; we both had so many
thoughts going through our minds. Where do we start?
First things first; VISAs.. we wasn't getting anywhere without them. Now there are plenty of websites offering visa's or help with applying for them but they all charge a fee. If you plan on working whilst you travel, the one you need is the Subclass 462. We found the cheapest way of getting yourself a visa is directly through the Australian Immigration website. Here's the link: Working Holiday Visa
It took 24hrs for Dave to get his visa granted. The fact that he got his visa so quickly and received it without any difficulty made me realize that this was now so real and so possible. It gave me the motivation I needed to just do it and apply for it! Little did I know, the next few months were going to be the longest and most exhausting months I have ever had..
With me (Aga) being a Polski, I could only dream of travelling around Australia for a couple of years.This kind of thing just doesn't happen to Polish people.
And then it came... like a slap across the face with a big wet fish... here was the problem! We looked and looked but couldn't find a working visa for Polish citizens... anywhere! And then it dawned on us, it’s not that simple for Polish citizens to move to Australia, unless just a 3 month holiday, but that’s not what we wanted. We wanted to work and travel for 12 months. Is this even going to be possible now?
