WHAT DOES WORKING HOLIDAY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Working holiday visa

A working holiday visa is a residence permit which allows travellers to undertake employment in the country issuing the visa for the purpose of supplementing their travel funds. For many young people, holding a working holiday visa enables them to experience living in a foreign country, without undergoing the usual costly expenses of finding work sponsorship in advance or going on expensive university exchange programmes. Most working holiday visas are offered under reciprocal agreements between certain countries, to encourage travel and cultural exchange between their citizens. There are often several restrictions on this type of visa: ▪ Many are intended for young travellers, and as such have an age restriction. ▪ There are usually limits on the type of employment taken, or the length of time the traveller can be employed. ▪ The visa holder is expected to have sufficient funds to live on while they seek employment. ▪ The visa holder should have some kind of health or travel insurance for the duration of their stay unless the country they apply for will cover them.
