ワーキングホリデープログラム
The working holiday system allows young people between the ages of 18 and 30 to stay in a foreign country and enjoy traveling while working.
For example, if a Japanese person goes to Australia on a working holiday, he or she can work in Australia for a certain period of time and use the money earned while working to enjoy travel and learn the language.
Under this system, foreigners who do not normally have citizenship are granted a regular work permit. This program is very popular among young people because it allows them to gain local work experience that is not available through language study or sightseeing trips.
Why not take advantage of the Working Holiday Program and make it a valuable opportunity to experience a different culture and grow as a person?
Application Procedures
You must apply for a working holiday visa, etc. at a foreign diplomatic mission in Japan, but in some countries/regions, applications are accepted at diplomatic missions outside of Japan (e.g., embassies outside of Japan or via the Internet).
Currently, Japan and the following 30 countries/regions have introduced this system (as of June 3, 2024).
