Working Holiday Program (WHP) is a cultural exchange program for young people aged 18 to 30 from certain countries. The main purpose is to get to know Dutch society and culture. A maximum of 100 applicants from Taiwan can participate in the WHP per year.
The registration process will be divided into 3 sections:
- Registration is open 3 weeks in March* for section 1 – for appointments between 1st April and end of October;
- Registration is open 3 weeks in October* for section 2 – for appointments between 1st November and the end of February;
- Registration is open 3 weeks in February* for section 3 – for the release any remaining vacancies with appointments for the month of March.
* Our official social media will announce the registration time and procedure for each section in the beginning of the registration month.

Being registered does not mean you complete the application process. Since there is a high demand we will, after the registration period is closed, randomly select candidates. We notify you by email if you are selected and provide you with a date and time to apply for the WHP. We also inform you in case you are not selected.
