Australian Working Visa For British Citizens
Australian working visa for British citizens who are citizen of United Kingdom and hold a citizenship of UK, British citizens as well as citizens of the United Kingdom. A work visa is required in order to work or study in Australia. Upon entering Australia, you will be issued with a visa label (sticker) in your passport and that label must be presented to the immigration officer upon arrival. This label usually begins with the letter “A” and depending on your circumstances might also include information about your intended length of stay in Australia, the date you arrived in Australia, your occupation and your employer.
As an experienced migration agent, I can advise you that there are some important points which are required to be taken care of before processing the visa application. The Australian Working Visa for the UK citizens is a 3-year visa which means that after the expiry of three years one can apply for permanent residency.
Once British citizens land at the Australian airport, they will have to present their passport and the eVisitor visa to the Australian Border Force. When a traveller from the UK is cleared to enter Australia, the eVisitor visa will be attached to their passport and this will allow them to remain in Australia for up to 3 months.
The eVisitor Visa allows multiple entries into Australia. It does not allow UK citizens to work in Australia, but one can engage in unpaid volunteer work. If, at any time whilst you are in Australia your phone number and email address change, you are required to let the Australian Home Office know.
British Embassy Registration for UK Citizens
British citizens are advised to register with the British embassy in Australia for their trip.
Registering allows the government to send the visitor important travel updates and security information. The embassy can also easily contact the traveler in an emergency.
Some advantages to using this service, include:
- Up-to-date travel and security information
- Easy location of the registered citizen in case of an emergency
- Quick contact from friends and family if needed urgently
British nationals traveling to Australia can register for this service when they apply for the Australia ETA or eVisitor visa.
