What is a working holiday?

Working overseas is possible! Combine your desire to explore a new country while supporting yourself (and your travels) financially in the process. A working holiday is a cultural exchange concept which allows you to work abroad on a special, government-issued ‘working holiday visa’. You’ll earn a local income to fund your travels and have the freedom to explore the country for longer than the average tourist - some visas can even be extended for up to two years.

 

You’ll have plenty of downtime and extra cash to freely tour the country, party hard, try out new hobbies, and even visit nearby countries if you wish. It’s the perfect opportunity to travel, live like a local, and immerse yourself in a different culture. International work experience can even be added to your resumé/CV and will for sure boost your confidence and impress future employers! There’s nothing to lose and so much to gain on a Working Holiday from making interesting friends to growing both personally and professionally.

What are the best countries to go for a working holiday?

How does a working holiday work?

A working holiday allows you to travel to another country and work to support your stay. You’ll typically need to apply for a working holiday visa, which gives you the legal right to work for a set period (usually 12-24 months). Once in the country, you can start looking for a job—many travellers find work in hospitality, retail, or agriculture. You can earn money to fund your travels while experiencing life in a different culture.

Do I need a working holiday visa?

Yes, most countries require a working holiday visa for you to legally work while travelling. These visas are usually available to young travellers (typically aged 18-30 or 18-35, depending on the country) from eligible countries. The visa allows you to work for a specified period, often between one and two years. Be sure to check the visa requirements for the country you’re planning to visit.
