- Hi guys,
Follow me on Instagram: / marccarva
Here are some links for you to have a look before deciding to move to Australia.
The 2 visas I mention in the video are by far the easiest ones for young people to have an Australian experience.
It could also mean you'd be able to get a job in a company for 6 months that could potentially sponsor a permanent visa for you like what happened in my case with with so many others every year.

I’ve watched you videos over and over and you have been the most informative thank you!
Wow. Good to see your content. Im planning also to go in Australia. I am now in PNG. Good to hear like you are not choosy about job..
Wow this was really helpful to watch!! Thank you so much!❤
I love the way you were proud to talk about the menial job you did.👍😀
Great! Hope you enjoy your time here.
A really helpful, interesting and well put together video!
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked it! :)
As a person that lived in Cairns, you can swim in certain places along the beach...if you ever go to Cairns, make sure to visit Kuranda...its a small little hippie town with markets and heaps of rainforest and rivers. Its beautiful
I loved Cairns and the whole region
Helpful video! thank you.
your information really help. thank you so much
thanks for all these information
Thank you for good information!!!!
Thanks for making this video. Very informative and inspiring. I'm from Thailand and also got the WAH visa which is expiring this 20 Aug 2020 while the country is still in lockdown. The pandemic hits everyone hard. Hope you stay safe.
Thank you for watching! I really hope things get sorted soon and that many people like you can travel to Australia to use their WHV. Otherwise, will next year when the borders reopen.
This is a fab video :) thanks go the great tips and info
Thanks for the nice compliment and I’m glad you liked it and that it was useful! :)
Nice video tank you man!
Thanks Marc, I’m glad you liked it! :)
I've been planning on getting a WHV for a while now. I was supposed to leave last July after graduating from University.. but Covid happened and I wasn't able to.
I am hoping I get to travel soon. I just found your channel and your videos are very well edited, and the information in them is great! Thanks for sharing your insight and experiences :)
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoy them :)
I should have known this 20 years ago when I was still young and strong enough to do this kind of work.
@Bakersfield Josh B sides y Español Of course you should try , Go ahead
@Josh from Bakersfield, California I'm 28 too. Am I too old 🤣
@Josh from Bakersfield, California I just got my work holiday visa approved for New Zealand
Come on guys, you're not too old. I'm 42 and I dont feel like I'm to old for this.
im here now and 35 doing banana farming so you are never too old, just too out of shape 🥳
Thank you for those informations, I'm going to Australia next month with working holiday visa and really exciting :)
Nice video!! Thanks for sharing the exciting experiences. Hope to see your next video soon. :)
Thanks :). That means a lot. Working on next ones
👍
awesome! thanks for sharing the exciting experiences, Im from Indonesia and i really want to go and work there ! btw stay safe!
Thanks. Good luck! :)
This was a really enjoyable watch - Currently deciding on whether I work in NZ or Oz in 2022. I'm also considering working as an AU pair as it's guaranteed work, accommodation is included and the locals will teach you far more than you could ever uncover on your own. :)
Thanks mate! :). Au pair jobs are always great if you're good with children, I totally recommend it! I know of a few people here working as nannies and have relatively comfortable stress free lives. And yes, usually the families include them in many activities and show a different side of Australia that perhaps only the locals know.
dont work for free, paid work is so easy to get...
Hi my Nick name Reza from Indonesian..Iam so glad to hear from you about Australia..someday i would like go to there..for working like u..🙏
Hi Reza, nice! Yes, keep up the motivation and check for ways to move to Australia when the borders reopen. Good luck!
@@marccarva yes of course..do u know when exactly ausy Will open that borders
Great
I was thinking about work n travel around Australia
Hopefully it won’t take long till this is all over and the borders reopen
Wow amazing
Great 👍 👌
love your video!!❤🇧🇷
Aww thanks! Glad it helped you! 🙂Obrigado!
I am from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 and currently a Student,and Planning a Trip to Australia 🇦🇺 to Work in Farm over the Christmas season. Will there be any work avaliable over the Christmas
Thanks for your video. I'm from Vietnam, my visa has expired from October 2020. When I saw your video, I felt sad that I still couldn't get to Australia. I hope Australia opens up soon.
Oh I see... are you still under 31 years old? If so, you can apply for a visa waiver so that you can reapply and enter Australia next year. If you’re older, you can apply for a visa cost refund but unfortunately not enter Australia under the working holiday visa anymore :(. I made a video where I mention it: czcams.com/video/NjCVqmfgOgg/video.html
Hi. If you will get a student visa after your holiday visa expires, would you still have to do a 88 farm work?
Sounds like you made a mistake by not settling down in Cairns? Do you plan to return to the tourist industry?
you are beautiful man, hugs from buenos aires
Hey! Estou a pensar ir este ano com o first holiday visa, eu sei que preciso fazer IELTS test, mas no questionario pergunta se fiz algum check up em termos de saude ao que respondi nao. É necessario?
Não sei a categoria do seu visto, o meu é o 462 e eu precisei fazer o checkup em um hospital credenciado pela Austrália.
just planning to move there from North Iraq Kurdistan.
thanks for all you hard time
This video is brilliant, thanks for sharing!
Do you mind sharing what you earnt on the farm? It’s on the list of possible jobs for me.
If you’re still planning to come, the borders will open soon as said by the government today. I made a video on farm work too: czcams.com/video/wpLW0JuLlmw/video.html
This might be a stupid question, but where do you stay with these jobs? Did they cover accommodation or did you stay in a hostel while working?
Yes! Welcome to adult life on the planet. It’s this way all over earth ..
I am very interested in working in Australia,
Marc: $500 or more for a room in eastern suburbs
Me: not bad
Also Marc: for weekly rate
Me: oh...
But you earn like 1k a week so.
Great video, thank you! Do you know if Australia will be opening it's borders for international travel for WHV before 2024? I am worried about missing the age cut off!
At the moment the border is preducted to open around March or April of 2022. However, our vaccine roll-out is painfully slow ( only 3.8 mill vaccinated so far), so I think we probably won't have opened borders until at least end of 2022.
No-one can promise you this, and n-oone can advise you, because we will not know until the Federal Government says so ( and of course it can still change). But what I can say is, if you are not already, get vaccinated, this may be a rule to come in in future and keep an eye on Australian news ( best site to follow abc.net.au ).good luck
No idea unfortunately... Now they say it will open before the end of this year for certain countries, which is a bit of good news. I hope you're still on the right side of the age cut off! Good luck with your trip
Do you have to backpack or can you just stay in the same area and work throughout the time
You’re free to do whatever you want. Backpacking is not a requirement. It’s just that this visa is a favourite for travellers/backpackers or used as a first step into the country by people wanting to move permanently to Australia.
hey! Nice video, any advice on possibly working at King's canyon? I'm thinking of applying there for the winter season, good bosses? good wages? should I get a car first? thanks!
Hi Marco thanks for these helpful informations! I am planning to go to Sydney in Oct 2022. Do you think will be hard to find a FARM Job from there? I already got my VISA, what should I do next in order to plan in the best way this experience? Thanks buddy!
This was great! Thank you so much. Curious to know whether any of the jobs were cash in hand? Also, how were to able to land the job in Alice and the cattle farm?
They have cracked down on farmers doing cash in hand, but I do know it still goes on in hospitality to dupe the hours.
I'm from the UK and planning on moving to Australia next month. Would anyone be able to help me? which would be the best jobs for money etc..? thank you
Did you went to Queensland..? If so, did you enjoy it? And also, is it easy to book a job in a youth hostel?

I'm from the Caribbean and I think it might be cool for me to go to Australia and have a working holiday ......anyone what's to help me .....
Thanks for the video I'm from the uk and saving to go next year on a working holiday visa , what's your veiw on the boarders do you think there is a chance they will be open to workers in 2022 ? And do you think 10,000 dollars in good enough to go over with thanks
Hey James, yeah 10,000 dollar to start with is great! If you’re open to work anywhere and you are flexible with the type of work even better! Regarding borders I made this video: czcams.com/video/NjCVqmfgOgg/video.html
The Federal Government say March 2022. But honestly it will be much, much later than that.
I like come to work your farm
i got few questions to ask?
1. can the application get denied for expired passport
2. having a medical card is a must while in Aus ..
1. Yes, you must have a valid passport with at least 6 months validity at the time of application.
2. Yes, you need to have some sort of health insurance whilst in Australia. It’s not something the authorities proactively check when you’re here but if you have an accident and need hospital treatment your bill might be astronomical!
About to start our fourth year here thanks to covid yee haaaa
Can USA citizens travel to australia on a working holiday visa even during corona virus?
No
Not at the moment unfortunately. But there’s still hope for next year if you’re still under 31. I made a video about this topic: czcams.com/video/NjCVqmfgOgg/video.html
Hi, you helped me a lot with this video, I only have one question, if I wanted to stay more in the country, without renewing the working and holiday visa, can I apply for a student visa? Therefore, just twelve months of working holiday
Hi Raphael, I’m happy that my video helped you in some way or another.
Yes, you can then apply for a student visa and stay longer in Australia, however, be careful with the application requirements of that new student visa, because if I remember correctly, for some visas you have to exit the country to apply from outside Australia. Maybe a flight and short holiday in Bali could do...
MarcCarva Hey Marc, thanks for responding so quickly! I'll try to find out more about this, but thanks for the warning! Yeah, a holiday in Bali wouldn't be bad hahaha I forgot to ask something else, for how many years can I use the Working Holiday visa, do u know?
Raphael Visconde you’re welcome. Maximum 3 years but with a minimum 6 month regional work requirement and only before you hit 31 years old. (Some countries like Ireland and Canada it’s 35yo)
MarcCarva Three years would be very good, according to my plans, I'm going well before the 31yo haha Thank you, you really helped me, I hope soon to be around
Does it make any sense if i travell to Australia being a 18 years old boy? I´m interested in farm work! :)
Absolutely! You would be welcome. Especially if farm work is your thing. Look www.backpackerjobboard.com.au also indeed.com.au.
@@triarb5790 Thanks mate! You´re lovely.
The government has just said they’re thinking of opening the borders soon. I’ve made a video on farm work that could help you: czcams.com/video/wpLW0JuLlmw/video.html
Thank you for your video, I'm working in Japan now and still have 1 more year to complete the work contract. At that time I would be 28 years old. Is it still available for Working Holiday ?
I believe you just have to be under 31
3:48
l want to work in Australia..but how to get there.
Is your nationality on the list of the working holiday visa eligible countries?
Hey Marc! Looking to move to Australia on my first work and holiday september of 2022. Do you have any info on Adelaide by chance ?
How old do you now bro, sorry just a question.
If i may ask, how much did u get from the farm work ?
BTW, while watching. I realized if you are sleeping in a shithole. Where do you hide your money for 6 months? How do you deposit it to the bank or send it to your family? I am interested but also worried about how can I send money to my family.
are you currently in australia on a working holiday visa? just wondering what it's like over there at the moment if its hard to travel/find work with the pandemic
I started on a WHV and am now sponsored but many of my friends are on a WHV. The ones that managed to secure a job, especially in construction, farming and other handy man jobs are safe and making money. On the other hand I also know of people who were working in retail and hospitality, who are now jobless and struggling to find work in those fields. Temporary lockdowns and border closures are still a reality but seems like remote work like farming is still thriving.
@@marccarva congrats on getting sponsored, I heard that's harder than it seems.. I'm thinking about doing my first year WHV in 2021 but wasn't sure how easy it would be to find a job with everything thats been going on. Might have to think about doing farm work for longer than 3 months then.
Yes, I have a friend on the WHV right now who never runs out of work even during covid! It’s incredible, but only because he’s flexible with the location. He’s always in remote areas and willing to do any jobs. Then after saving up he comes to the cities.
@@marccarva what is the difference between WHV and Sponsored? I am planning about moving and working in Australia permanently
Without going into too much detail as it would need another video... WHV you can apply for it yourself directly with the Australian government. A sponsored visa is when a company applies on your behalf for a visa for you because they want you to work for them.
How much would you recommend taking in pounds?
To be safe, you should bring at least 3 to 5K. I’m hearing now there are plenty of jobs in remote areas up north but forget the big cities for now.
@@marccarva thanks, would that be aud dollars or us? I’ll give your page a share on fb thanks for the help!
@@combatsportsontour6503 Hi James, yes sorry I’m so used to dollars now. In pounds it will be much better for you as the AUD is super weak atm. Perhaps £2K minimum is ideal. Having said that, Australia asks for your funds to be at least AUD 5K. They rarely check on arrival, but there’s still a chance they do it... Thanks for the share!
@@marccarva is £20,000 enough?
@@jsb7666 that’s plenty! Most people just bring 5K pounds. But of course, the more you bring the less pressured you’ll feel to get a job quickly.
Hey Marcos! congratulations on the amazing content! we were wondering if you have an email with which we can get in touch with you. Thanks and keep it up :)
Hello, sure :). How can I reach you? I prefer if you contact me on my insta marccarva as I don’t want to share my email out here. Thanks
@@marccarva We did but maybe it went to the request inbox :( Let us know if you can see it and if not we can send it again!
Open Borders ah just saw it and replied to you! :)
Your videos are great and I would like to repost your channel exactly on a nice platform named Gan Jing World. If this sounds interesting to you, please respond to me. Many thanks!
nice video. you forgot to tell that the border is closed... :(
Thanks! Yeah not good news for anyone wanting to come here right now but the borders won’t be closed forever.
@@marccarva my visa expires in October... so I won't be able to use it I guess...
@@tibstyle 2020 is almost over. So do you have any second plan?
@@jathebest2835 I wanted to go to Sweden and a few weeks ago they canceled the WH agreement with my country... so now I'll wait for Australia to open borders or Sweden... and u ?
@@inversionpositiva7694 I'm Korean who is interested in the working holiday visa program. That's why I'm roaming around some videos but I'm not seriously thinking about the plan like y'all. I wish everything will be available again.

Nice content. To me, trading the forex and crypto market is way better than any online investment 💯
You are right but the market is profiting if you are using really a good broker or account manager to help out with trades or provide signals
Please I need someone to help me trade or invest the forex or crypto market because I'm tired of trading in losses myself. I've blown my account twice and it's frustrating.
I'm one of her clients.... and I'm a living testimony of Expert Mrs Naomi. She has changed my financial status for the best, all thanks 😊 to my friend who introduced her to me
She has been trading for me, her strategies are wonderful and she made me see binary and forex trade from a different dimension. I keep making profits weekly
@james Please how can I reach her?
Hello mate can I please have your email ,I would like to ask more as I m looking to relocate there to look for job opportunities
People are rude asf. 3rd world country with people on high horses. 😂
