Hi, I'm 26M from the UK and eligible for the Working Holiday program / visa. Depending on how the rest of this year goes I might be looking to start in the autumn / towards the end of the year. I know that the quota for UK nationals is 6,000 visas per year and that I have to go in person for a visa appointment at the embassy in London.
- If I get accepted and all that, is there a timeframe after that on when I'd have to start the program?
- I'm just looking at the booking website and even though it says they add new appointments every day 3 weeks in advance, the only available appointments are for the rest of this month. Surely they'll be more, right? Should I grab one, like, in the next two weeks? Do they hit the quota quickly?
- (and unique to my case) – I need to renew my passport pretty soon (expires in June) and unless I pay more for a expedited service I'm not sure if it's OK to wait 3-ish weeks while it renews then go apply with the new passport… or could I just use my current passport and transfer it afterward?
Thanks
