Hi Guys,

Australian Citizen here.

Just had a question regarding the Working Holiday Visa.

Upon looking at the conditions of the Visa there is no requirements for a reference on the VFS checklist.

However,

Upon filling out the application there is a box for a reference for a person that

"Has the inviting person signed an official document with a commitment that charge will be taken and has this document been validated by the host country?"

I do have friends living in Belgium but feel very awkward asking them to undertake this for me as it looks a bit strenuous.

Does anyone know if this is compulsory?

Cheers.
