  INTRODUCTION

Working Holiday Scheme is a bilateral agreement signed by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) separately with the Governments of New Zealand, Australia and Ireland. Under the Scheme, young people of Hong Kong and above countries may apply for a Working Holiday Visa. The Visa would enable them to stay in Hong Kong or the selected countries for up to a year for holiday. During their stay, they can take up short-term employment of not more than three months and can engage in any studies or training for not more than three months. The Scheme provides a valuable opportunity for young people of the two places to broaden their horizons.

For more details of the scheme, please click here.

The job vacancies appearing in this dedicated webpage (for access, please click "Search a job" or "Vacancy Information" icons on the left) are placed by employers who have a special request to recruit working holidaymakers. Working holidaymakers are welcome to apply for these posts direct.

Besides, the database of this Department contains other short-term employment opportunities. Please search our Interactive Employment Service website for more information.

For Hong Kong working holidaymakers, you can find out about work opportunities by visiting the following websites.
