One-year visa for young citizens (18–30/35) of Australia, Canada, Chile, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Peru, South Korea, and Taiwan to work and travel.
The Working Holiday Visa is established through bilateral agreements between the Czech Republic and partner countries, such as Australia, Canada, Chile, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan. These agreements are designed to foster cultural exchange and youth mobility, allowing young adults to experience life in the Czech Republic while supplementing their travel funds through temporary employment. It fills the gap for young travelers who wish to spend an extended period in the country without the stringent requirements of traditional work sponsorship.
This visa is for young citizens (typically aged 18–30 or 35, depending on the specific bilateral agreement) of the participating partner countries. It is ideal for those who want to travel, learn the language, and immerse themselves in Czech culture. A distinctive feature is that employment is considered a secondary purpose of the stay, meant to support the traveler's holiday. Unlike standard work visas, this program offers significant flexibility, allowing holders to work for various employers throughout their one-year stay, provided they meet the age and financial requirements specified in their country's agreement.
