What's a working holiday visa?
A working holiday visa allows young people, typically aged 18-30, to travel and work in a foreign country for an extended period, usually up to a year or two. It's a popular way to experience another culture while earning money. Australia's new ballot system and caps will make these visas more competitive for non-UK citizens.
