Working Holiday programs: our specialty

Languages & Travel made the choice to promote the Working Holiday Visa as soon as Belgium signed the Working Holiday Visa agreement in 2004 .

Thus, hundreds of young people entrust the organization of their working holiday to Languages & Travel every year. In short, it's truly one of their specialties

Our difference

On the internet, you can find many websites dedicated to Working Holiday Visas (WHVs) whose model is based on affiliate marketing. They provide information, and if you book a service through a tracked link, they get paid. But these sites take no responsibility, organize nothing, and are not liable for anything.

Unlike community websites that provide useful information, Languages & Travel is the ORGANIZER of your Working Holiday Visa program . Travel agent license (A 1602), insurance against our financial insolvency (AMLIN: contract LXX05036), professional liability insurance—all legal obligations that Languages & Travel must meet, and that's all the better for you!

With Languages & Travel, you entrust the organization of your Working Holiday Visa to an accredited agency and you leave with peace of mind knowing that everything has been organized down to the last detail.

Visavacancestravail.be website

To provide you with more information about the Working Holiday Visa and our programs, we have developed a dedicated website for the specific Working Holiday Visa: www.visavacancestravail.be for Belgians and www.visavacancestravail.fr for French citizens. We look forward to organizing YOUR Working Holiday Visa program.

Information sessions twice a week via video conference

We organize 2 information sessions via videoconference every week of the year, register for free here .

OUR TRAVELERS' REVIEWS
FOR THIS PROGRAM

Working Holiday Visa Stay in Australia

"Hi Maelle, I'm doing great, thank you so much! 🙂 It will soon be four months since I arrived in Australia. I spent a little over a month in Sydney where I did some work through your partner and also enjoyed the city and its surroundings. Then I spent about ten days in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast at Surfers Paradise. It was fantastic! For over two months now, I've been a supervisor on a strawberry farm north of Brisbane. I'm currently saving up to buy a vehicle, but prices are significantly higher than before COVID. After that, I'll be going on a road trip because I haven't yet explored the vast open spaces that Australian nature has to offer. Tip: You can try to plan your trip to get a first idea of what to discover and how much time to allocate to work, road trips, etc. But always keep in mind that our plans can change very quickly depending on our desires, the weather, and the people we meet. So much more to say, but don't worry, they'll discover everything on..." "Step out of your comfort zone!" If anyone has specific questions, please don't hesitate to contact me via email/Facebook/Messenger. Although I think they'll find answers to their questions in the many Facebook groups, online, and through your own knowledge! 🙂 Have a great day! 😉

Working Holiday Visa Australia: Job assistance + English course in Sydney

"Hi, it's almost been a year since I returned from my first year in Australia, and I remember not having thanked you yet. Anyway, I just wanted to send you a big thank you! Have a wonderful day!"

Adrien F, 06.25

English courses in Sydney as part of a Working Holiday Visa in Australia

"Hi Maelle, Everything is going wonderfully. The hostel days were a bit complicated for me. At least the first two days, because I was really worried about the language barrier, but in the end everyone here is understanding and lets me take my time. The accommodation is great, a bit far from the center, but the public transport is super efficient, so it's really easy to get around. The classes are going well too. My teacher is really dynamic. (It's a change from what I experienced in Belgium). I thought 4 hours would be long, but in the end, it goes by quite quickly. Yes, I went to see the job assistance; they mainly explained things to me and gave me advice. For now, I'm in contact with someone at DHL; I think I'll go work there at least long enough to secure a couple of months of financial security. After that, I hope to find something near the beach for the upcoming summer or move to Melbourne to explore other horizons." Have a good day!"

Job assistance Australia

"Yes, great, I've had good contact with our friends at the job assistance center. They're really attentive and helpful with all the administrative procedures and finding work. Things are going well at the hostel too, apart from a minor mishap I had the other day. I've met quite a few new people, mainly English speakers and locals, although there's a large German and French community in the hostel."
