Vision for the Future Overseas Labour.Indd
VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF FARMING ACCESS TO A COMPETENT AND FLEXIBLE WORKFORCE Delivering for farmers and for the public INTRODUCTION The issue of immigration has loomed large in the debate over the UK’s membership of the EU. Following the decision to leave that was taken in the referendum of June 2016, we will soon establish new arrangements for controlling our borders, based on an expectation that immigration into the UK will ultimately be reduced. The agricultural and horticultural sectors, and indeed the wider food industry, will fi nd themselves particularly impacted by these changes. Farming relies on a large number of overseas workers, primarily from the EU, who have been able to come to the UK and take up work – both seasonal and permanent – under the principle of free movement of labour within the Single Market. With Brexit that movement will be curtailed. But it is critical that farming’s ability to produce a safe and aff ordable supply of food here in the UK is not similarly reduced. There are a number of aspects to this challenge. We will continue to look at ways of improving the ef ciency and productivity of our industry, harnessing technology and where possible adopting automated processes which reduce the reliance on labour. We will continue to work with other organisations in improving the appeal of agriculture as off ering a high-skilled, enjoyable and well rewarded career path, attracting more of our domestic workforce. But we will also continue to press the case for access to a competent and flexible workforce that meets the needs of a diverse farm sector that has signifi cant requirements for both permanent and seasonal labour, and for higher and lower-skilled workers.

Exploring Working Holiday Makers' Motivations in Australia
Exploring Working Holiday Makers’ Motivations in Australia An investigation on the factors influencing Working Holiday Makers’ decision to engage with the 88 days of specified regional work criteria Martina Frappa International Migration and Ethnic Relations Bachelor Thesis 15 credits Spring 2019: IM245L Supervisor: Henrik Emilsson Wordcount: 13,155 Abstract This study investigates the reasons why Working Holiday Makers (WHMs) in Australia decide to complete the 88 days of specified regional work to obtain a Second Working Holiday (WH) visa. The research follows a qualitative approach via the use of semi-structed interviews on a sample of fifteen current or former WHMs. The resulting data are analysed in connection to the theoretical framework of migrants’ role in bifurcated labour markets, with a further focus on the micro-level neoclassical economics principles and the concept of self-improvement through hardship. It is argued that the 88-day scheme represented for all the interviewees a form of investment to achieve a greater goal. The findings revealed that, while only a few completed the 88 days driven by the desire to achieve self-actualisation, most of the informants were driven by an economic rationale: some focused on the short-term financial benefits of a further year of work in the country, while others planned to use their Second WH as a pathway towards permanent residency.

Australia: Increase in Age Limit for Working Holiday Visa Applicants from Canada and Ireland
Insights from Global Mobility Australia: Increase in age limit for working holiday visa applicants from Canada and Ireland November 5, 2018 In brief The Australian and Canadian Governments reached an agreement in late August 2018 to increase the upper age limit for eligible citizens of both countries wishing to obtain either an Australian Working Holiday Visa (WHV) or an International Experience Canada (IEC) visa. A new legislative instrument recently has been released confirming that from November 1, 2018, Canadian and Australian citizens between the ages of 18 and 35 will be eligible to travel and work in the reciprocal country due to amendments made to the existing Memorandum of Understanding between the two countries, which governs Youth Mobility. The legislative instrument also confirms that this new upper age limit will apply to the reciprocal agreement between Australia and Ireland, and will apply equally to applications for first or second Working Holiday visas. In detail individuals who hold an agreement with Canada, Background equivalent visa in each Australia is the only participating country can seek participating country in Australia currently has 19 work for a limited time in order Canada’s IEC to receive an Working Holiday (Subclass 417) to ‘supplement’ travel funds. unlimited supply of IEC work visa reciprocal agreements in permits, with all other countries place and 22 agreements for the Assessment criteria being subject to an annual Work and Holiday (Subclass For participating countries quota. 462) visa.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED to KNOW ABOUT GETTING LEGAL to LIVE and WORK in the CZECH REPUBLIC Introduction
The Czech Visa Process EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GETTING LEGAL TO LIVE AND WORK IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC Introduction The most common type of visa is based on a Živnotenský List (Živno), or freelance license. It’s also possible to get a visa through an employment card, which means that a specific company sponsors you for the visa. It’s generally very difficult to get this type of visa unless you are transferred by a company to Prague, or you have a teaching degree already. Further, it’s not possible for a visa company to do this kind of visa; the company that is sponsoring you must do the process. Most people get the Živno style visa and that’s what Visa Guru specializes in. (If you are from Canada or New Zealand, you also have another special option – Youth Mobility Visa/Working Holiday Visa – read on for more info). THE SCHENGEN ZONE The Schengen Zone is a mobility agreement that includes many countries in Europe. Many nationalities (Americans, Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders, etc.) are automatically granted a 90-day tourist visa for travel in the Schengen Zone. As soon as you enter, your 90 days start ticking down. We recommend having at least 60 days left in the Schengen Zone when you arrive in Prague, in order to leave enough time for the visa process. Introduction What does Visa Guru do? • Help you fill out paperwork (application, proof of accommodation, etc.) • Manage translations • Work with you on housing to make sure your documents can and will be signed properly • Schedule embassy appointment & arrange collection

Evaluation of Australia's Working Holiday Maker (WHM) Program
Evaluation of Australia’s Working Holiday Maker (WHM) Program Paper to Accompany the Poster Session XXVI International Population Conference of the IUSSP Marrakech, Morocco September 27 - October 2, 2009 Dr Yan Tan Professor Sue Richardson Dr Laurence Lester Ms Lulu Sun 1 Introduction 1.1 Background of the WHM Program Australia’s Working Holiday Maker (WHM) program is a temporary migration mechanism to allow young people from nominated countries to travel, work and study in Australia. The WHM migration program includes two visa subclasses (417 and 462). Subclass 417 allows people aged 18-30 years from 19 countries with agreements with Australian (Belgium, Canada, the Republic of Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong SAR, the Republic of Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom) to experience culture and lifestyle through an extended holiday and incidental employment—the visa has a special focus on regional Australia. Subclass 462 allows tertiary educated persons aged 18-30 years with functional English from five other countries (Chile, Thailand, Turkey, the United States, and Malaysia 1) to holiday in Australia and supplement their travel funds through short-term employment. The WHM program commenced in 1975 at the same time as an Australian visa system was introduced. At this time reciprocal arrangements began with the United Kingdom (UK), Canada and Ireland. Arrangements were subsequently established with Japan (1980), the Netherlands (1981), the Republic of Korea (1995), Malta (1996) and Germany (2000). Although there are specific arrangements with these countries, the scheme was applied globally during the period from its commencement to 2000 and applicants from other countries were considered where there might be a benefit both to the applicant and Australia (DIMA, 2000a).

Working Holiday Makers
The Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia Joint Standing Committee on Migration Working Holiday Makers: More Than Tourists August 1997 Australian Government Publishing Service Canberra © Commonwealth of Australia 1997 ISBN Foreword Australia's working holiday program provides the opportunity for young people from overseas countries to enjoy an extended holiday in Australia and to undertake incidental work in order to supplement their holiday money. The reciprocal nature of the program offers similar opportunities for young Australians to undertake working holidays overseas. Over the past year, the Joint Standing Committee on Migration has been conducting a comprehensive review of the working holiday program. This report presents the Committee's findings and recommendations from that review. In this report, the Committee recognises the many cultural, social and economic benefits of the working holiday program for participants and the broader community. At the same time, the Committee has responded to concerns that working holiday makers are affecting the job prospects of Australians, particularly in certain industries and regions. The Committee's recommendations seek to ensure that the working holiday program is targeted appropriately. The focus should remain on providing young people with the chance to expand their life experiences through travel, so that young people from overseas can learn more about Australia and young Australians can increase their understanding of overseas countries. If the working holiday program operates effectively, it can create jobs for Australians rather than take work away from them. The Committee's recommendations are directed to such an outcome. A working holiday can be a valuable experience for any young person.

Fruit Picking Jobs & Working Holiday Jobs Position
Backpacker Tax Senate Enquiry Submission Preface This submission has been created by Fruit Picking Jobs & Working Holiday Jobs Australia for the Senate Enquiry into the backpacker tax and subsequent reforms to the following legislation, Income Tax Rates Amendment (Working Holiday Maker Reform) Bill 2016, the Treasury Laws Amendment (Working Holiday Maker Reform) Bill 2016, the Superannuation (Departing Australia Superannuation Payments Tax) Amendment Bill 2016 and the Passenger Movement Charge Amendment Bill 2016. www.fruitpickingjobs.com.au Established in 2011 Fruit Picking Jobs is a platform that connects employers and harvest workers all over Australia.

We support the retention of the status quo, where working holiday makers will pay some tax (either as a resident OR a non-resident for tax purposes) and then proceed to spend their earnings as they disperse widely through regional Australia, filling vital horticulture and agriculture labour needs along their way.

Immigration Situation Overview
FEctions COVID-19 Pandemic – Immigration Situation Overview This is a summary of the confirmed immigration restrictions and/or concessions that global jurisdictions are currently imposing in an effort to contain the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). It includes: (1) the operational status of government authorities; (2) travel restrictions; (3) entry, quarantine, and health requirements; and (4) government concessions. Where a jurisdiction is not listed, Fragomen cannot reliably confirm it is currently imposing restrictions or concessions of this type. Important Notes: The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak is a rapidly changing event; this summary is for reference only. It does not attempt to cover other developments that may be relevant to travelers, such as airline route cancellations, the closing of consular posts, or national travel advisories. Individuals considering travel should consult their country’s consular posts and seek case-specific advice from their travel and/or immigration providers. Employers whose staff have moved to remote work arrangements may need to complete additional labor law requirements, such as employment contract amendments. European Union Travel Note: Per EU guidance, residents of Australia, Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, New Zealand, Rwanda, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand have been ‘greenlisted’, meaning such travelers are advised to be permitted to enter EU Member States. Nationals of China might also be permitted entry if EU travelers will be allowed to reciprocally enter Mainland China. EU authorities advise EU countries to coordinate their travel restrictions to ensure more reliable and predictable travel planning across the European Union.
