The basics

How a working holiday works.

A working holiday visa lets you live in another country for a set time and work while you travel. Two countries agree to swap young people, so your passport decides where you can go.

You must be inside the age range when you apply. Most schemes take people aged 18 to 30. Some go up to 35.
Most schemes let you go once. A few let you stay longer if you do certain work.
You need savings to live on at the start, and often a ticket home or the money for one.
Some countries cap the places each year. When a cap fills, you wait for the next round.
Each country sets its own work rules. Some limit how long you can work for one employer.
