Which visas can work

Visa

Only Australian citizens, permanent residents and New Zealand citizens on a Special Category (444) visa have no conditions on working. Other visas, such as Student and Working Holiday Maker, carry conditions on the work you can do and the hours.

  • A Visitor visa or ETA does not allow you to work. Working on one is illegal.
  • VEVO shows your exact conditions, and lets you send proof of them to an employer.
