Do you need 2000pound to get into australia?
I’m assuming you’re coming on a Working Holiday visa as you would need considerably more than £2000 for 3 months on a tourist visa. You won’t necessarily be asked to show proof of funds, but then again, you probably will be – don’t take any notice of people who say you’ll be OK. If you’re asked and don’t have the funds, you’ll be sent back. You have to show a certified copy of your bank statement and if the money was deposited recently, there’s a chance that it won’t be accepted. I know of one girl who had borrowed the money from a finance company and she was rejected at the airport because she had a commitment to repay the money during her visit and that was considered to be unacceptable. Apart from whether or not you will be asked for proof of funds, you would be crazy to come here without the money. You have no way of knowing if you will be able to find (or keep) steady work in the current economic climate and this is a very expensive country in which to live and travel.
