Working Holiday routes and other travel rights

Each destination sets the conditions for Portuguese applicants. European free movement, ordinary tourist entry and sponsored exchanges are separate categories.

This selection covers Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea and Peru. The US sponsored exchange category is outside this Working Holiday directory. Further agreements would need their own official-source check.
