In the context of a cultural or tourist trip, young people may spontaneously decide that they wish to enter into a limited working relationship and also use\u00a0education facilities in the respective country. Working Holiday Programmes (WHP)\u00a0were set up to meet the relevant demands and enable young people between 18 and 30 to finance their (holiday) stay abroad \u2013 at least to some extent \u2013 themselves, gather practical vocational experience in another country and benefit from the local educational facilities. Employment and education are thus not the primary reason for travelling abroad but are as such an incidental benefit. Under these programmes, young people may gather professional experience abroad and acquire\/improve foreign language skills, which are important aspects when starting a career. Another objective is promoting young people\u2019s understanding of other countries and cultures.<\/p>\n

Austria has so far concluded agreements in this regard with New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, Japan, Israel, Canada, Chile and Australia.<\/p>\n

Inquiries regarding an Austrian Working Holiday Visa should be addressed to the respective Austrian representation (see\u00a0Working Holiday Application<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Austria\u00a0is therefore be among the top EU countries with regard to the number of concluded and effective WHP agreements.<\/p>\n
