What is a Working Holiday Visa?
Choisir des formations professionnelles à l’étranger, c’est l’assurance de pouvoir être formé rapidement et de sortir de l’école avec un métier en main !
A Working Holiday Visa (WHV), known in French as Programme Vacances Travail (PVT), is a temporary immigration visa that allows young people to travel and explore a foreign country for an extended period.
This visa is generally available for individuals aged 18 to 35 (age limits vary by country) and typically lasts one year, with possible renewal depending on the destination.
The WHV is designed to extend your stay abroad, enabling you to experience a new culture and lifestyle while having the flexibility to work and finance your trip. It also allows you to study for a limited period, such as taking language courses.
