Work & Play Sydney Australia Vacations
For many youngsters, the possibility of Sydney Australia vacations seems far from reach. Many Sydney hotel deals start at $200/night, flights are in the thousands and it’s impossible to imagine taking more than a week off work. However, Tourism Australia and STA Travel are looking at ways to give American students the opportunity of a lifetime — to work and live in Sydney, Australia for up to 12 months! Just recently, Tourism Australia announced their “Work and Play” visa program, which offers deep discounts on accommodations, airfare and tour packages for students between the ages of 18 and 30. Their website, www.australia.com/workandplay, has all the details.
The first step toward a Sydney, Australia vacation is booking a flight. Low-cost Sydney vacations can be booked from Los Angeles to Sydney for just $676 round-trip (plus tax) on the brand new V Australia airlines. The newest international airline company caters specifically to young adults, with “rock star service” from their award-winning cabin crew, “mood lighting” to match the phases of the flight, “ergonomically-designed seats” that claim to be the “Pacific’s widest” (available even for the economy travelers), two in-flight bars, USB ports to power personal devices, on-demand movies/music/games, seat-to-seat chat, self-service snack kiosks and full-service meals. To book with V Australia, call STA Travel at 1-888-541-4843.
Another crucial part of the “Work and Play” Sydney Australia vacations program is securing a visa. To apply for a work visa, an individual must be between the ages 18 and 30. They can visit www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday/462 to fill out a form and pay the $230 fee. Once a person is granted the Australian work visa, then he or she will be eligible to enter Australia within 12 months of the grant date, to stay for up to 12 months, to leave/re-enter limitless times during that year, to study for up to 4 months and to undertake employment with any one employer for up to six months.
Some students choose to take their Sydney Australia vacations just after graduating high school, taking a year off school to visit Sydney before heading to college. Others choose to visit after they finish college as a reward, and as a way of delaying the dreaded “real world” a little while longer. Once students arrive, they will receive some job placement information, with various positions available, such as a waiter, concierge, ranch hand, flight attendant, surf instructor, wine production assistant or bartender, to name a few. Students may also choose to study in Australia for up to four months as well. For more information, one can visit www.studyinaustralia.gov.au/Sia/en/Home.htm.
