I think not applicable to extend unless he applied a Partner Visa? WHV is an offshore application 10 days in Bali is long enough to apply and be granted (seems they removed the express 48 hr option).
Extending the work limitation
Requests to extend the employment period beyond six months are only granted inexceptional circumstances. An extension may be allowed for a very short periodof time (less than one month) and only if there is very strong justification togrant it.
Exceptional circumstances must be extraordinary andunforeseeable, and relate to an Australian permanent resident, citizen orbusiness.
Exceptional circumstances might include:
•Remaining in your current job for a very short time (less than one month) asyou are critical to the completion of a specialised project that hasunexpectedly gone over time. This generally only relates to highly skilledactivities.
Example: A lawyer in the middle of a trial.
•Performing disaster recovery work following a major disaster.
Example: Clean-up, re-building or emergency management activities following amajor flood.
I have no problemwith this guy doing his CPL here on a student visa, nor do I think anyone has an issue with him paying to fly in Australia! During this he is permitted to do any type of work and be paid not less than the award, for not more than 20 hrs a week.
Depending on what field he does this paid work in will depend on who objects and is offended.
Like wise if same guy then after a brief OS trip, obtains a Work Holiday Visa depending on the field he decides to work will depend on objections in this case the offended group will be pilots - but the fact is he is completely legal for up to 6 months at same employer.
If prior to the 6 months a partner visa application has not been lodged (12+ month process time) and this WHV holder is still working for the same employer the offended group/s of people rapidly grows and said worker is illegal and both worker and employer should face the penalties as applicable.
Anyone that suspects any visa abuse including the 2 cases here should report it to DIBP because if it does get abused it makes it much harder for future genuine applications.
