The agreement gives young people aged between 18 and 30 years the opportunity to stay in the other country for up to one year. They are allowed to take up temporary employment to supplement their travel funds. However, the main purpose of the visit must be to travel and get to know the other country. Employment is permitted strictly as an incidental activity.

Under the existing rules, the nationals of both countries do not need a visa for short visits (not longer than three months) to the other country, unless they want to engage in a gainful activity. The Working Holiday Agreement should facilitate access to long-stay visas under given conditions to young citizens, including the permission to take up temporary employment in the other country.

Applications for working holiday visas will be accepted by the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Prague (Czech applicants) and by the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Seoul (Korean applicants). The initial quota for the scheme, i. e. the number of visas available on each side, is 300 visas per calendar year and may be subject to changes.

The Czech Republic has similar working holiday agreements with Canada and with New Zealand.
