EXPATRIATE ABROAD

Working Holiday Abroad

”Working Holiday” is this program that gives carte blanche to French nationals to travel abroad on holidays in a country that uses this program for employment purposes, particularly young people between 18 and 30 years. Here are some good reasons for choosing this program.

Countries using it, give an opportunity for young people to enter the country with a working holiday Visa (VVT). These are among others, Australia, New Zealand, Korea, Japan, and Singapore. Each has its own rules and its own operating principle. In general, the goal of working holiday in the five countries mentioned is the same: Allow French under 35 to visit the country, discover new people, live an international experience in one year.

In Australia, young VVT holders can visit the country (for 12 months), work even as a student without exceeding six months with the same employer, follow a theoretical and practical training over a period of 4 years before returning to France.

This program is designed to compensate the shortage of manpower in Australian businesses, not skilled jobs, but jobs or occasional small jobs, paid by the performance (Harvest and picking fruit, apples, pears etc.).

As such, the opportunity offered by the Working Holiday to work in Australia is that there is no obligation to have related skills for the chosen job, or a perfect command of English.

Regarding taxes, holders of a Working Holiday Visa are considered non-tax residents by the welcoming State.
