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.

What Are the Benefits?

✔ Discover a new country and culture.

✔ Many WHV participants start with a few weeks of language courses to build a strong foundation before working.

Rencontré à Tahiti lors du Salon international de l'Étudiant organisé par Catch-up Education, j'ai eu l'opportunité de collaborer avec Sylvain Lolley, fondateur de Catch Up Éducation. Fort de plusieurs années d'expérience, son implication et sa disponibilité dans chaque projet sont enrichissants. Aucun détail n'est laissé au hasard, permettant d'offrir un accompagnement sur mesure. Catch Up Education permet ainsi à chacun de trouver un projet adapté à ses besoins et à ses envies. Notre collaboration lors de ce salon m'a permis de comprendre l'importance de faire appel à un agent éducatif et l'ampleur du travail réalisé pour chaque étudiant, qui n'est pas toujours visible pour le client. Leurs procédures établies, le suivi administratif et la relation clientèle sont au cœur de leurs préoccupations. Je recommande vivement cette entreprise qui, en plus d'être très pointue dans son domaine, a avant tout une approche très humaine du métier. En résumé, Catch Up permet d'organiser sereinement et en toute confiance l'expérience d'une vie, et ce, à tout âge.
