-
hey this sounds great to me, are you planning to go too?
-
i wanna go but cannot guarantee can work out this plan or not, coz i have to consider many things....
<br>
<br>anyway, we can further discuss it, what do u think?
-
Does it has age limitation?
-
u must apply before your 31st birthday!
-
u can apply this visa if u are aged under 31, it will allow u to stay and work in uk for 2 years.
-
worry
<br>when you plan to go?
-
i hope i can go before summer, how about u?
-
i can go anytime!
-
can we talk in msn? pls send me your msn to [email protected]
<br>
-
kate, i decide to go between april to june. how about u, will u apply this visa?
-
I think you can only go to UK if you got BNO, not for HKSAR passport, isn't it?
<br>But you can go to New zealand, Australia... with HKSAR?
-
right, this visa is for BNO passport holder only, it is a bit different from other working holiday visa offered by new zealand and australia.
-
I want to apply for this visa, but now I am not BNO passport holder. Btw, I still hope to go to UK, do you know any cheap accommodations?
-
how long do you want to stay overthere?

<br>
<br>tina
<br>if u are not BNO passport holder, will u consider some 遊學團, it is a bit expensive but u can do part time job with your student visa: http://www.ef.com.hk/master/ly/destinations/main.asp?code=LON
<br>
-
i got a visa to work in the uk already and plan go there in april. anyone is interested to go together?
-
to worry,
<br>I have stayed in London for 3 years and a half, just came back to HK in Oct. If you are planning to stay there long, you should rent a single room or share room instead staying in youth hostel.
<br>Good luck to you guys!
-
thx yil, i will definitely rent a single room if i have job.
-
yil & worry
<br>
<br>Thanks for your information.
<br>
<br>Actually I want to stay in UK for 1-2 months, but a bit worry that it costs a lot to stay there.
-
tina, where will u stay? and when will u go? u can look for short term rent, i know the shortest notice period is 2 weeks only.
-
I will stay in London and hope to start in March, I am planning the trip but not sure will take action or not. And also need consider to find a partner.
-
tina, i will go in april. u can discuss with me if u need partner.
-
tina, have u decided to go or not?
-
仲有冇人有興趣一齊去?
-
Have you guys all got the WHV?
<br>I heard from my friend, it was not easy to get working holiday visa from UK.
-
yil
<br>
<br>i got it already.
-
worry
<br>
<br>How much you need to pay for applying the visa? Is it also need body check? How long for the whole process (from application until get the result)?
<br>
<br>Thanks!
-
san
<br>
<br>visa fee is HKD 1199. no need to do body check. they will approve your application according to your departure date, but u should let them have at least 7 days to check your application.
-
Thanks worry
<br>
<br>If the visa is approved, then I can stay in UK for 2 years? The starting date is count from the approval date or arrival date in UK?
-
from your approval date. are you planning to go?
-
I am interested. But my BNO passport expired and now I am a HKSAR passport holder. Not sure can I have two passports at the same time.
-
i am the same case with u, but i renewed my BNO already. u don't need to mention u have hksar passport when u apply for renewal of BNO.
<br>
<br>i will be leaving hong kong soon, mind to exchange contact? my email is [email protected]
-
worry
<br>
<br>When will you leave HK? Do you think it is difficult to get the visa? Any interviews needed?
-
I will leave on next friday. No interview is needed if your information is correct and able to meet their requirement. I think the only consideration is whether u have enough money in your bank account.
<br>
<br>U can email me before I leave or levae me your msn, so that we can chat.
-
You will leave soon!! Hope you can find a good job there. You will stay in London or other cities? I will email you and give my email address to you.
-
I will be in London, what is your plan?
-
Before I heard the working holiday visa, I am planning to go to London to travel, but I cannot find partner who want to go there. I really want to leave HK for a while and try to work in other country. This visa is very attractive to me, but I still have some considerations.
<br>
<br>I found some airlines offer low fare air-ticket in March.
-
yes, u are right. virgin atlantic is offer $38XX including tax and fuel charge for a round trip. but if u want to stay there longer, u can book a single ticket.
-
I have not yet received your email, have you sent?
-
I found Virgin Altantic has a special offer to London- $2500??? (but only valid for 2 specific flights) How long you plan to stay? Will you consider a travel partner if I only stay there for 1 week?
-
I will be in London from the end of this month and may be staying there for half to 1 year. u can contact me if u want to go somewhere.
<br>
<br>virgin atlantic has 2 flights to London only.
-
Worry, you are really nice! I will check the air-ticket later.
-
If u really want to go, i suggest u staying longer, only 1 week is only enough for travelling London and also wasting of money to buy air ticket.
-
yes, i think one week is quite short, since I am not pretty sure about the price of hotels (i think the hotels are expensive in London.)
-
if u don't mind, try YHA, it is about 2x pounds per nite.

-
