Working Holiday Visa Programs: A L&T Specialty

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

Hundreds of young people entrust Languages ​​& Travel with the organization of their working holiday every year. It's truly one of their specialties

The idea, as with our other job abroad programs, is to allow as many young people as possible to have an extraordinary experience for a year in the fabulous country of Canada.

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 .
