Working Holiday Visa

loloieg

Hey guys,

I'm wondering if you know the Working Holiday Visa (WH Visa) ??? :o
What a good invention !! isn't it ?
For now and for french people, there are 4 possible destinations : Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
The principle is to get a one year visa that enables you to work in the country you are visiting !! The only condition is to not work more than 3 months for the same company... Then, you will find more often little jobs as fruit picking or barman ; but it is easy to find and moreover you can travel easier and more time. It could be necessary to visit all the Canada or all the Australia without spending to much money :P !! But don't dream you will not be richer than before you left ... I mean for the money, because for the experience, it should be awesome :cool:!

I'm very interested in Australia for many years .... I think it is a dream to go there :D And maybe I will go with a WH Visa in three years after finishing my PhD in Italia :D:D

What about you ? Did you already have a WH Visa ?? Do you think or dream to get a WH Visa ???

A question: is it available for everybody or for french people only?

Is there similar visas for other nationalities?

loloieg

it is not only for french people ... but it is not available for everybody ... it depends on agreements between countries.
For example, Australia signed agreement for a WH Visa with about 20 countries ... this means that people from these 20 countries could go in Australia with this WH VIsa.
Maybe there are other countries that propose WH Visa but did not have signed agreements with France. If I remember well, France and Australia signed the agreement only in 2003 !!

Do you know where we could find a list of the 20 countries?

This could be interesting for everybody ;)
