Working holiday visas: where your passport can take you
A working holiday is a visa for young people, usually aged 18 to 30 or 35, that lets you travel around a country and work there to pay for the trip, almost always for a year. It only exists between countries with a bilateral agreement, and each destination sets the age, places and requirements for each passport. These are the programmes of 13 destinations, taken from their official websites.
