Working holidays minus the work drama
Pre-arranged jobs
Every JENZA Work includes the option of securing a job before you go with one of our vetted working holiday employers. If you’d rather wing it, that works too. You’ll have access to the JENZA Job Hub for your whole visa to search and apply for jobs.
Visa assistance
Every JENZA Work includes expert visa help from our JENZA Support Squad. Where we’re able to apply for your visa for you, we will. And where we can't, we’re with you the whole way – with the correct forms, step-by-step guidance and one-on-one advice.
Arrival essentials
Every JENZA Work includes the essentials you need to work overseas. This typically includes bank account set up, tax numbers, medical insurance (USA only) and a SIM card. Plus, hostel nights and socials when you land to help you settle in (excludes USA).

Good time and a long time
Working holidays are a lower impact way to travel.
By staying longer, paying tax dollars and spending in local communities – you'll contribute more. Living and earning as a local, instead of visiting as a traveller.
