How it works
Three steps, free for seekers.
Search visa-friendly jobs
Filter by the visa types an employer accepts, required Japanese level, housing and season — no guessing.
Apply directly
Create a free profile and apply. Employers see applications in arrival order — we never rank or screen you.
Hear back from employers
The employer reviews and replies. Always verify any role independently — Waholi advertises, it doesn't vet.
Stay safe out there
Waholi is an advertising board. We review listings against our content policy, but we never verify an employer's identity or legitimacy — always check a role yourself before you commit. Our guide shows the red flags.
Read the scam-awareness guideFrequently asked questions
Do I need a working-holiday visa before I apply?
Most employers expect you to already hold (or have been granted) a working-holiday visa. Every listing shows which visa types the employer accepts, so check before applying.
Is Waholi free for job seekers?
Yes. Searching jobs, applying and creating a seeker profile are all free for job seekers.
Does Waholi screen or verify employers?
No. We review listings against our content policy and remove prohibited or scam content, but we never verify an employer's identity or legitimacy — content-policy reviewed, not identity-verified. Always research an employer independently before accepting an offer.
How do I apply for a job?
Create a free seeker account, fill in your profile, then apply from any listing. Your application goes straight to the employer in arrival order, and replies arrive by email.
I'm an employer — how do I post a job?
Create an employer account and post your first listing free. A first listing goes through a short content-policy review before it appears in search.
