working holiday/travel help

[Luke_S]

Hi
I am heading off on an open ended working holiday next year around europe and i just wanted to find out a bit of info on some stuff.

First off, If i am to get a legitimate paid job like at a bar or something how does getting paid for this usually work? Can i be paid into and australian bank account or would i need some kind of euro bank account?

Secondly, whats the go with travel insurance for extended periods? I dont have a return date in mind so is there some sort of ope ended travel insurance i can get or something like that?

If anyone has any other travel or working info and tips it would be awesome to here from you.
Thanks

Hi Luke and welcome here,
While having no experience with this other than WWOOFing, I believe you'll need a work permit, as opposed to a work visa, if you're talking about being legit :

Thank you. I have a british passport so that should cover me for working rather than a working visa right?

You'll have to ask a Brexit expert!
Have you checked the Schengen website?

Yeah i have, as far as i have read so far nothing has changed. So fingers crossed its all good.

Assuming there isn't a no-deal Brexit (an increasingly dangerous assumption), there'll still be a transition period next year, with the same conditions as now, so you will be fine to work in any of the EU 28 with a British passport. Otherwise, well, you can always pick strawberries in the UK, there will be plenty of vacancies

Is it travel insurance you want or health insurance? Travel insurance is for things like lost luggage and emergency room visits. Is that what you are after? If so, check out World Nomads - https://www.worldnomads.com/

If you want health insurance there are global plans but if you have health insurance at home, maybe only a travel insurance policy is needed...
