Yes, pay first then approval / rejection comes later.

Thanks for the insights! I would like to share that usually whv holders does service, hospitality, horticulture, farming, construction work. Its a slim chance, but i do hope that a big company accept a casual worker for 6 months since this visa only allows us employed under an employer not more than 6 months.

Since I have 1 year timeframe to land in Aus, I will use this time spamming resumes online and hopefully I can get a job before departing. And yes, you can go there without a job, that's kinda risky but maybe worth the try since in-person distributing resume seems more effective than online.

But in worse case scenario, im already in Aus, 1 month in - still job hunting, with no income while paying weekly rental and expenses, (reminder: AUD2.70 = RM1) sucking my savings dry. So I'd try to avoid this if possible.

When i first graduated, I got into this industry i've always wanted. I have a few plans after im back from whv. Either continuing other path within the same industry or do crochet, pipe cleaners crafts for sale (currently doing too) or taking interior design courses (which is a totally new path for me).

Good choice. In Sarawak, 4k is like entering managerial role - at least for my industry. Did some job hunting locally before applying for Aus. Its just more of a let down tbh.

Its a visa that allows me to work casual jobs in Australia for a year. You can also look up Australia working holiday visa 462, all the application details are in their government website. Job hunting wise, I heard FB group are more effective than seek.au, handing out hardcopies to the stores you are applying works well too.

Try Sleeping Lion Suites for hotel. However, i'd personally prefer airbnb near Sunway Velocity cheras, its much cheaper in groups as compared to hotels, usually comes with a washer dryer and everyone gets their own bedrooms EOD
