What is a WHV?
The PVT Working Holiday visa was created for people, from 18 to 35 years old, who wish to live an overseas experience in a country that has signed a PVT agreement.
The purpose of the WHV visa is to discover a country while working for a maximum of 1 year (24 months for Canada). This is how, many young travelers from all over the world open themselves up to new cultures and new ways of life. The PVT Working Holiday visa is obtained under certain conditions. Indeed, the PVT holder with a French passport can stay on a PVT Working Holiday visa in the following countries Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Hong Kong, Mexico, Uruguay, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Canada, Singapore, Brazil and Peru.
The PVT Working Holiday visa gives the ability to young travellers to work in the host country to finance their trip.
What is a WHV travel insurance, and what is it for?
If you are going to work temporarily abroad as part of Working Holiday Visa, Social Security and your health insurance do not work, while medical expenses in Asia, Latin America or Canada for example are very high.
Furthermore, PVT travel insurance is now required in most PVT or Working Holiday Visa countries. The immigration department will ask you for a travel insurance certificate upon your arrival or when you apply for a WHP visa. This certificate will be sent to you automatically by email once you have applied. You can also retrieve it at any time from your AVI International account.
