Requirements for Working-Holiday / Youth Mobility Agreement VisaWorking Holiday Visa Programme • May 18th, 2022
The Working Holiday Visa Programme (WHP) is based on a bilateral agreement between the Federal Republic of Germany and Argentina, Australia, Chile, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, and Uruguay, as well as the Youth Mobility Programme (YMP) with Canada. These programmes aim at enabling young people to gain insight into culture and daily life in the Federal Republic of Germany. The intention is to promote increased mutual understanding and the applicant’s primary aim should be to visit Germany. The duration of the work permit depends on the nationality of the participant. Employment should remain of temporary character in order to facilitate additional financial means to your holiday travel intentions in Germany. German language skills and work experience are not condition to the visa process, but are likely to improve your chances of finding work.
