路径适配度
Australian citizens considering Korea's working holiday route.
与韩国签订打工度假协定的国家公民中，申请时年满18~30周岁（部分协定最高至35周岁）的青年为对象。澳大利亚、加拿大、英国、新西兰、德国、法国、日本、美国等约25个国家公民可申请。
为何该签证出现在澳大利亚指南中
根据韩澳双边协定无固定年度配额，最长可延长至2年。入境前须在澳大利亚申请。
材料
Prepare passport, age-eligibility proof, funds, insurance, travel plan, and consulate-specific forms before making non-refundable plans.
Check current quota, intake timing, stay limit, and work-scope rules for Australian applicants.
Keep the purpose aligned with working holiday; a fixed long-term professional job usually needs another visa route.
Review whether planned work is allowed before accepting teaching, entertainment, or full-time office work.

材料认证
请将其用作提交前的准备地图。认证、海牙认证、领事确认、翻译和原件规则可能因材料种类、管辖领事馆和韩国受理机关而有所不同。
Australian public documents should be checked through the current competent authority or consular route before being used for Korean filing.
English records may still need Korean translation when the filing office asks for a Korean-language packet or explanatory evidence.
Passport, funds, insurance, itinerary, and application forms should align before the working-holiday appointment.
Confirm quota, intake timing, and document format before booking travel.
H-1 材料备注
For H-1, funds, insurance, itinerary, age/nationality proof, and consulate-specific forms should support a temporary working-holiday purpose.
风险审查
H-1 手册相关风险主题
Job duties do not match the visa activity
Korean work visas are activity-specific. A broad title or informal role description is weaker than a contract and duties that match the status precisely.
Sponsor-side records are incomplete
Business registration, tax, employment, wage, or compliance problems at the sponsor can affect the applicant's review.
Prior violations or unresolved compliance issues
Prior overstays, fines, unauthorized work, tax delinquency, or criminal history can trigger closer review even when the basic visa category looks correct.
在确定材料、预约或雇主/学校时间安排之前，请确认以下事项。如果相邻的其他路径更合适，请在提交前先打开比较页面。

时间安排
Check quota and intake timing before booking flights.
Prepare funds and insurance evidence before finalizing the itinerary.
If a Korean employer is already waiting, compare H-1 with E-7 or another work status before filing.
提交准备度检查
在仅依赖清单之前，请先确认。即使材料清单已完成，如果路径、时间安排或担保事实关系有误，也无济于事。
检查后是否已准备就绪？
仅在路径、材料、风险和时间安排全部一致时，才进入完整清单。
常见的提交错误
H-1 is a working-holiday route. If the main purpose is a long-term role with a Korean employer, compare E-7 or another sponsored status.
Quota, appointment availability, and local consulate instructions can affect timing even when basic eligibility looks clear.
The travel plan, funds, insurance, and work plan should support a temporary working-holiday purpose.
Some jobs may be outside the allowed H-1 scope. Confirm the specific work type before signing a contract.
A later status change depends on the employer, occupation, timing, and immigration review. It is not automatic.

H-1 is working holiday. H-2 is an overseas-Korean working-visit route with a different eligibility basis and work framework.
Compare H-1 and H-2If a Korean employer is central to the plan, a sponsored work visa may be more appropriate than working holiday.

H-1 is a working-holiday route, not a standard employer-sponsored job visa. If the main purpose is a fixed career role, compare E-7 or another work status before filing.
Check current quota, age rules, stay limit, insurance, funds, itinerary, consulate instructions, and whether the planned work type is allowed under working-holiday rules.
Sometimes, but it depends on the target visa, employer sponsorship, timing, and status-change rules. Do not assume H-1 automatically converts to E-7 or another long-term status.
No. H-1 is for a longer working-holiday stay. Visa-free or K-ETA entry is usually for short stays and does not authorize the same work plan.
