Pathway overview
For young Korean citizens to live and work in Germany for up to 12 months, at Korea's own confirmed wider age bracket.
Verified directly from auswaertiges-amt.de: citizens of the Republic of Korea have their own confirmed wider age bracket for this programme — 18 to 34, rather than the 18-30 bracket that applies to Germany's other ten Working Holiday Programme partner countries. All other real requirements (no dependent children, sufficient funds, acceptable health insurance) are the same as the standard-age-bracket program.
