Holiday Working Visa

     Working holiday visa is such a great opportunity since it encourages the culture exchange and closer ties between arrangement countries. I envy my Korean friends for having such an opportunity because not all nationalities can have it. Unfortunately I have looked all the 13 countries that offer a working holiday visa but no one of them includes Saudi Arabia to the list. To have a chance to work, study and experience others’ culture is such a great opportunity that every person in theses days should have the chance. Thanks God that Saudi government has opened one of the biggest scholarship programs where student with good grads is granted a scholarship to study abroad and learn others culture.

     I have noticed that going abroad either as an exchange student or working holiday student is something that most of the Koreans do it before finishing their universities.   Like after high school or lets say after being admitted in one university each student works on three major projects: the military service, the school major and going abroad to study and may work at the same time.

     Experience living in foreign countries has it advantages and disadvantages. As it has been mentioned in the presentation, some people have to work in 3D jobs in order to escape from poverty or to be able to cover their funds. In addition to this, in most of the WHV offering countries there are placed where the traveler or the foreigner student who is not familiar to the place is subjected to some crimes like fraud or being abused which may result in a serious trouble.

     I think it is important in a country like Korea where a big number of students applying for such a visa to have a special program or conference to learn, warn and educate the going people about the country they are going to and to show some of the cases where people have faced difficulties and troubles. And teaching them a little about the culture and what they have to eschew in order not to be offended or cause troubles.
