I want to apply for the working holiday but the thing is I just had an expensive trip to Japan and planning another one for September so I won’t have the £2500 cleared funds required until January 2024. I understand there are only 1000 places and they reset every year in April.
Ideally I’d apply in January and then move in March but if the places are all gone then I’ll have to apply in April and hope I can move by May-June. I know it’s only a 2-3 month difference but I really want to get there asap due to various things that I won’t bore you with my life story hahaha.
Also I saw almost exactly the same thread as this from 4 years ago and they said it would be fine but I’m wondering if things have changed since then, with more people working remotely…
