ARRIVAL DAY
PERSONALISED AIRPORT PICK UP

Everyone at Welcome to Travel knows jet lag, so we want to make your arrival as stress-free as possible. With that in mind, we’ll organise a personal airport shuttle for you. Early in the morning or late at night, it doesn’t matter, we’ll be there waiting for you. From there we’ll take you straight to the hostel so you can rest up and chill.
Before your arrival your guide will have been in touch with your personalised Melbourne Mini Pack Itinerary so you can prepare for the next few days.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If you’re coming here to work while you’re on holiday, you’ll need either a Working Holiday Visa (417) or a Work and Holiday Visa (462), depending on which country you’re from.
You can find more information and a list of the various visas HERE.
The application can be completed through your travel agent, or directly through the same Australian Government website as above.
We always recommend checking Australian Government website for any specific enquiries.
There can be up to 5 people in your walking tour group, or it could be just you and your guide exploring the city on your terms for the day.
According to the Australian Government, you need $5,000AUD in your bank account on arrival if you’re coming on a Working Holiday visa. This is a good savings target if you are wanting to either travel for a month or set yourself up for working and living in Australia after your time with Welcome to Travel.
However, everybody is different and to give yourself the best chance of experiencing as many things as possible in Australia, we would recommend just saving up as much as possible before you come travelling.
You will provide this number to each employer you have while you are in Australia and your tax will be deducted from your wage accordingly, just as it would be in your home country.
If you’re here for a longer period of time (for example, on a Working Holiday Visa) then it’s highly recommended to open an Australian bank account. Not only will you save a lot on exchange/transaction fees, but employers will only pay wages into an Australian account. It’s also an extremely easy process that we will organise for you.
You can fast-track the whole process by creating a Transferwise account, so that you can already have Australian dollars in your account for when you get here. But don’t worry about all of this now, we’ll explain it all soon!
