Thanks for the video! There is so little to no information about Holiday Visa on the web. This is literally the only vid about it on the whole KZbin LOL! Wow! The only info I managed to find is on the official visa website. Thankfully, my country is on the list, including the embassy in my city. Wow, I'm shocked. I wonder if it's possible to marry someone while on the duration of this visa to get a PR? Is it possible in theory?

The rules are complicated for each country . After you land in France, as a lawyer.

Hi, thanks for the video! I have a couple of questions. First, how long does the proof of accommodation have to be for? If I book a hotel for the first week, will that be okay or does it have to be more permanent? Second, do I have to have a flight ticket to france specifically to get the visa? For example, if I show a flight to Austria and plan to take a train to france after a couple of weeks, is that acceptable? ie. do I need proof of entering france or just the Schengen area? Thank you!

You're welcome! I'm here to help with your questions about the France working holiday visa: Proof of Accommodation: The duration of your proof of accommodation typically depends on the specific requirements of the French consulate where you're applying. While booking a hotel for the first week is a good start, it's advisable to check with the consulate or embassy for their specific requirements. In some cases, they may prefer to see accommodation arrangements for a longer period, especially if you plan to stay in France for an extended duration. Flight Ticket: For the France working holiday visa, you usually don't need to have a flight ticket to France specifically. A flight ticket to any Schengen Area country is generally acceptable because once you enter the Schengen Area, you can travel freely within its member countries, including France. So, having a flight ticket to Austria and planning to take a train to France afterward should be acceptable. However, it's a good practice to confirm this with the consulate or embassy where you're applying to ensure you meet their specific requirements.

Hi, thank you for this video, it was very helpful! I just have a question in regard to leaving France during your visa, how many times and for how long are you able to leave France during your stay, and are you limited to where you go, for example do you have to stay in the EU? Thanks :)

[@visalibrary]

Your working holiday visa permits you to visit the EU countries. You can leave France and return but it's up to your nationality. Ask the French embassy in your home country about this.

how would one find work once arrived in the country?

[@visalibrary]

To find work in France on a working holiday visa, you can: Use Online Job Portals: Websites like Indeed, Monster, and LinkedIn are commonly used in France. Improve French Language Skills: Knowing French can significantly enhance job prospects. Network: Join expat communities, attend local meetups, and use social media groups to connect with potential employers. Check Local Employment Agencies: They can provide personalized job assistance. Consider Part-Time or Seasonal Jobs: These are often more accessible for working holiday visa holders, especially in hospitality or tourism. Freelance or Remote Work: Platforms like Upwork or Fiverr can be useful if you have skills suitable for remote work.

Hello! In this case, once this visa is used. Am i still able to apply to other visa types like the study abroad one? Also, i have friends living there whiling to let me live with them for the whole year, is that allowed? What would i need to prove this ? Best regards

[@visalibrary]

Yes, after using a France Working Holiday Visa, you can apply for other types of visas, such as a study visa. Staying with friends in France on this visa is allowed, and you will need to provide a letter of invitation from them to prove your accommodation arrangements.

We are looking at getting the working holiday vids from Australia, do we have to fly into France or can we go to other European countries beforehand?

[@visalibrary]

Do you mean before or after getting your visa?

[@leah.olivia]

@@visalibrary We will apply for the visa in Australia but I’m not sure whether we have to fly straight to France or can go to other countries beforehand

[@ellagiles5122]

Is this possible

[@sullfolife]

Hey i have a question for you, do you have a timeframe once you get the visa to go to France or could i apply now August 2023 for a departure in may 2024 ? just so i could give enough time to sell and settle anything i have here before doing the visa.. i hope you can help me cheers

[@visalibrary]

The processing time is with the French officials. We do not have the time frame.

[@willpaine2270]

Hey, if I am an Australian but want to apply from Morocco, do I need to have a residency permit in that country?

[@visalibrary]

You need a legal residence permit or valid visa in the country you are residing.

[@alagumoorthy4851]

India eligible?
