Young Traveller Working Holiday Visa

Tourist Short Stay Visa

What can I do with the young traveller (working holiday) visa?

With the “vacances-travail” working holiday visa, you’ll get between 3 months and 1 year to travel throughout France, basking in the culture, history and food. During that time, you can work to help support your trip. But keep in mind that work shouldn’t be the primary reason for your trip.

You can also travel throughout the Schengen Area for 90 days out of a given 180 day period.

Top tip: If you’ve stayed anywhere in the Schengen Area over the past 6 months, you may not have the full 90 days available. But you can use this handy visa calculator to find out exactly how many days you have left.
