Dear CHUNWOOK YOON
RE: Application for Subclass 417 – Working Holiday (Temporary) (Class TZ) visa
This is to advise that you have been granted an Electronic Working Holiday Visa, Subclass 417, on 14 July 2006.
This letter contains important information about this visa.
VISA GRANT NUMBER
The visa grant number is *************. This is the unique number assigned to the visa. You should keep this visa grant number with you, as you may have to provide it to the Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs (DIMA) during the life of the visa.
VISA INFORMATION
This visa allows you to make your initial entry into Australia no later than 12 months from the date that the visa was granted. Your initial entry into Australia must not be after 14 July 2007
Once in Australia, this visa permits you to stay in Australia for 12 months from the date that you first enter Australia. It provides you with multiple travel to Australia, which means that you can leave Australia and re-enter Australia as many times as you wish during your 12 month stay. However, if you depart Australia during your 12 month stay, you are not able to recover the period of time you have spent outside Australia.
You will not have a visa label placed in your passport when travelling to Australia as your visa is recorded electronically in Australia’s visa systems. It is recommended that you print and keep a copy of this advice for your personal records.
Please note, that this visa is linked to the passport number provided in your application. If you obtain a new passport after receiving this letter, DIMA systems will not recognise the new passport and you will be prevented from travelling to Australia. If you have obtained a new passport, please contact the eVisa Helpdesk for advice (eVisa.WHM.Helpdesk@immi.gov.au).
Please note: this Working Holiday Visa can only be used once. If you find your circumstances have changed after you are granted a Working Holiday Visa and you want to postpone your working holiday but you still need to travel to Australia for a brief visit, you MUST apply for a Tourist visa or another temporary visa. This will cease your Working Holiday visa and you will be able to apply for another Working Holiday Visa at a later stage, if you still meet all the eligibility criteria.
If you obtain an ETA (Electronic Travel Authority, subclass 976) after your Working Holiday Visa has been granted, your entry to Australia will activate your Working Holiday Visa and you will NOT be able to apply for another Working Holiday visa.
VISA CONDITIONS
Please note that your Working Holiday Visa has been approved subject to a number of conditions:
EMPLOYER WORK LIMITATION – 8547
The holder must not be employed by any 1 employer for more than 6 months, without the prior permission in writing of the Secretary.
STUDY LIMITATION – 8548
While in Australia you must not engage, for more than 4 months, in any studies or training.
It is very important that you understand and abide by your visa conditions. If you fail to abide by these conditions, your visa may be cancelled and you will be required to leave Australia.
If you do not understand your visa conditions please contact the nearest Australian Government Office overseas for advice before you travel (www.immi.gov.au/wwi/index.htm/worldindex).
After arrival in Australia, you may seek advice on any aspect of your visa conditions from the nearest DIMA office (http://www.immi.gov.au/wwi/aust_index.htm).
CHECKING YOUR VISA DETAILS
DIMA provides a service called Entitlement Verification Online (EVO) which allows certain third parties to check your visa information with your consent.
Through EVO, you can give your consent to registered third parties such as:
employers and labour suppliers, and government agencies, to check whether visa holders are eligible for certain services, or have work and study rights;
EVO also allows visa holders who applied online to view their current visa details. If you provided a password for EVO in your online application, you will be able to access the service on the DIMA website (www.immi.gov.au) under ‘Online Services’ >> ‘Entitlement Verification Online’.
The disclosure of your visa information by DIMA is governed by the Privacy Act 1988. Therefore, DIMA will disclose information about your visa to a third party only with your consent. You can consent to an inquiry about your visa entitlements by giving the third party your name, date of birth, passport number and passport country of issue. If you do not wish a third party to find out about your visa entitlements, do not give them this information.
The information form 993i ‘Safeguarding your personal information’, available from Immigration offices, gives details of third parties to which you can consent to your personal information being disclosed, and how you can consent.
SECOND WORKING HOLIDAY VISA
Working Holiday Makers who have worked as a seasonal worker* in regional Australia** for a minimum of three months on their first Working Holiday visa, will be eligible to apply for a second Working Holiday visa.

To apply for a second Working Holiday visa, you will need to provide evidence that you have worked for a minimum of three months as a seasonal worker in regional Australia on your first Working Holiday visa.
