working holiday visa
Overseas employment authorization
A working holiday visa is a permit allowing young adults—typically ages 18 to 30—to travel in a foreign country while taking temporary employment to fund their stay.
These visas exist through bilateral agreements between countries: She got a working holiday visa for Australia and spent a year picking fruit and bartending.
The arrangement prioritizes travel over career work, usually limiting how long you can work for any single employer.
