Under the visa, young people can stay up to 12 months in Germany and take on employment to finance their stay. Having applied for Germany’s Youth Mobility Visa back in 2012 in my hometown, Toronto, I remember the process being rather simple as I filled all the eligibility requirements at the time: I was 25 years old and I wasn’t accompanied by dependent family members. Since I had found steady employment as an English teacher and was earning regular income by the time my Youth Mobility Visa came to an end, obtaining the new permit wasn't terribly hard to do. Passport holders from Australia, Israel, Japan and New Zealand may similarly either apply for this visa in Germany or any relevant German mission abroad. Nationals of Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Brazil and Chile must apply for the Working Holiday visa at their local German mission before coming to Germany.
