Hi,

I heard that the UK Working Holiday Maker Visa is open for Malaysian start from last year. Any one know about this visa? How to apply? Any one have apply before?

Yes, Mine was approved a few weeks ago.

This type of visa is available from several countries. Do some legwork, google and you'll get all the information you need. It's better than asking here and getting partial info.

i thought this programme has been closed for a while..coz too many applicants to handle before...it's reopen again ???

yes. it was reopen early last year.

how much is the application fee now?

afaik, the application fee was revised to RM14xx effective 1st April.

So what kind of question they will ask during interview?

they'll ask:
Why are u going to the UK?
Which part of UK will u intend to go?
Will you be working over there? <- U shud know that you are not supposed to work more than 1 year with the WHV.
How much will you be bringing to UK?
and something like that.

do you homework well on places to go all around UK and make sure your travelling route makes sense and the WHV will be urs.

cheers.

In my plan, i have write down that i will travel to others European country as well. that's mean i have to known all the places that i will travel in other countries also?

no... But you'll have to tell them briefly where will you be going too, either in the midst of your Visa or at the end of your WHV. What they priorities is your stay in UK. They wan to be sure that you're well prepared and you will not be using their public funds no matter what happens.

And, they'll see if your "travel route" is feasible or not.

cheers.

Thank you for your info! Sure you are very nice guy..

have u been called for the interview or just thinking abt applying it?

Thought it was RM600+ , so when are you going ?

more info please?
interested here

yeap... it was RM612.00 when I applied for it on the month of Feb. However, there's an increase to RM1440 effective 1st April when I last checked www.vfs.com.my.

info? check it here

ya.. im thinking to apply it too.. but shackks did u found yr job in uk? or else where will u b staying?

sorry to say, u won't be given a heck if you do no have a valid working visa to work in UK. therefore, I'm still in the process of applying for a job there. It's a hard world in UK where jobs are in concern.

As for accomodation, It actually depends on the work I've got then only I search for accomodation. Accomodation might be easier as there's always plenty of spare room for rent depending where you are.

Do apply. Travel around while you are still young...

cheers.

so actually u going to travel around Uk and at the same time workinG?> nice...im thinking bout backpacking around europe after i graduate next year too. but anyway..good to start plan from now!! but the Visa might require you to bring certain amonut of money to cover your few month expenses and living cost there..isnt it? and do we need to show them the return ticket? or its ok to show just one way ticket?

yes, they actually wud require a return ticket so that or an alternative way is to show you have more than enough money to not only spends a few months there and also to buy a return ticket.
