軟骨頭漂流..

超過30歲也可去出國走走

度假 打工 沒有年齡限制

很高興看到日本要開放對台灣人的working holiday 度假打工，但是還要考日文...這簡直是送給日文補習班的大禮，學日文的風潮也許又要沸騰一次

anyway...這次不講日本

講到Working holiday最夯的就是OZ(澳洲) & NZ(紐西蘭)，兩個國家的年齡限制都是三十不過有點不一樣，OZ的規定是申請時不得滿30歲，也就是還是29喔~NZ的規定是申請時還是30歲，也就是31歲生日的前一天都還可以申請，不過每年的名額有限通常一開放就搶光，申請到了visa要在一年內去該國...從去的那一天起visa有效期為一年

那...超過三十怎麼辦？三十歲以後的人不能出國打工嗎？

解答就是seasonal work visa...大家比較少去關心的工作簽證...，超過三十的朋友可以去NZ做季節工，其實很多人出國去度假打工 ，拿著woking holiday的簽證卻只做季節工，很浪費說...

持有working holiday的簽證是可以做任何非永久的工作...選擇性非常多...不過跟能力有關係(這當然是英文能力)，而seasonal work 的簽證是只能做季節性的工作...

那什麼是季節工？包含了跟植物有關係的東東就是了像是種植物、收成、包裝...

事實上大多數的台灣人去紐西蘭都是從事跟奇異果、蘋果、櫻桃、葡萄...相關的工作，其實用seasonal work visa 就夠了，雖然沒有working holiday簽證的自由，anyway 還是可以體驗不一樣的生活

那對於不想申請工作簽證，又不想花大錢旅遊的人...你可以以工作換取食宿...不用花錢也不用費力去管簽證...有些時候換取的不只是食宿喔...也許免費的高空彈跳...飛行傘體驗...

anything is possible....
