The Working Holiday Permit allows young people aged 17 to 35 to work abroad for up to a year in one of the seventeen countries that have signed agreements with France (Canada, Australia, Singapore, New Zealand, Japan and South Korea, for example).
With over 9,000 Working Holiday Visas issued, France ranks sixth.
It’s a great time to visit, meet new people and broaden your professional experience.
The www.partir-en-pvt.com website presents this program in detail, with the conditions WHV for taking part and the formalities WHV for completing your Working Holiday Visa application. You’ll also find a host of useful tips on how to find accommodation and work at WHV, book a hotel or a car, make cheaper phone calls or forward your mail. A country-by-country presentation is also available at WHV.
Finally, we offer Working Holiday insurance. Travel insurance is mandatory in all countries. When you arrive, you may be required to show proof of travel insurance covering your entire stay. In this case, you’ll need to take your insurance policy with you.
Travel insurance is certainly an obligation, but it’s also a precaution. If you have the slightest health problem, or a problem with your luggage or flight, for example, Working Holiday travel insurance will protect you from these unforeseen events.
Medical expenses (with or without hospitalization), repatriation assistance, civil liability coverage (often required), legal protection in the event of litigation, and accident coverage in the event of death are just some of the coverage options available under WHV.
Of course, the more comprehensive your coverage (high ceiling, low deductible), the better insured you’ll be, and the more expensive your insurance will be. However, in certain countries with high medical costs (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc.), it’s important to have a policy that covers these costs locally, otherwise you’ll have to pay for them yourself. In conclusion, don’t focus solely on the price of insurance!
Registration for WHV Canada 2019 will soon be open, so make sure you’re available this fall to apply before the quota is reached, and check out the informative Working Holiday Program website to guide you through your preparations!
