Working Holiday
is one of the programs most chosen by young people because it offers the opportunity to travel to different cities around the world and, at the same time, work to support themselves.
As for Spain, it is an ideal destination for Argentines not only because of the language but also because of the similarity in many
customs and the cultural proximity
to the country.
What is the Working Holiday program for Spain?
It allows a person to visit the Iberian country for a
maximum of 12 months
.
Therefore, those who obtain it will be able to access
study and blank jobs
for the duration of the stay permit.
This is a tempting option for those who are looking for a seasonal job (although only for one time), and at the same time want to get to know Spain and travel around the country and support the trip with income generated during their stay.
An important fact to remember:
Argentines who have a European passport -this includes that of any country that is part of the European Union, beyond Spain-
do not need to carry out this procedure
, nor do they have legal or time obstacles regarding their stay in the Old Continent.
