Work and Travel Information

What is a J1 visa?

This is a non-immigrant visa, issued by the US Government to people participating in cultural exchange programs. The J1 visa program currently has 13 different exchange program categories, one of which is Work and Travel USA.

What is a Work and Travel program?

This is a cultural exchange program that was established by the US State Department in 1961. Since then thousands of international students have been enrolled in the program in order to travel, earn money and become familiar with the American culture, while working for a US employer.

In fact, students can legally work for more than one employer during their Work and Travel program and can enjoy a 30-day travel period following the program completion.This is a travel status period that can only be used in terms of traveling within the US.

WAT USA is a great chance for students to explore the States, find new friends, improve their English and gain valuable work experience!
