I am planning on going on a 10 month trip after my study as a Dutch citizen. In this 10 months I mostly want to travel, but as money will be needed at some point, I also want to work. By that time I will be 24 years old and have a master's degree, but as big companies probably won't hire me for 2-3 months I am aiming at more simple jobs like being a waiter, a postman, or something along those lines.

From this question I understand that my plan will not be executable in the USA as I'm not allowed to work on a nonimmigrant visa.

What non third world countries do allow temporary employment of foreigners in a way that will make my plan feasible?

Mostly if you're 18-30 you can get working holiday visa for Australia, New Zealand and Canada (the ones I know of). Citizens of many countries can get these visas but Dutch for sure.

  • As in the comments mentioned, you have a work permit for the whole Schengen area as a EU passport holder.

I think Korea and Japan also have these working holiday visas. You can also simply add that a Dutch citizen is allowed to work in the Schengen area. – Vince Feb 24 at 18:19
Schengen area, that's right. But countries offer work and travel visa have a good supply of easy, short term jobs such as fruit picking and so on. The kind he was looking for. – greg121 Feb 24 at 18:47
-1: Schengen is not EU, EU is not Schengen. For example he'd need work permit for Switzerland. – vartec Feb 26 at 10:57
@vartec go ahead and edit ;-) that's what it's made for and why it's called a community. – greg121 Feb 26 at 14:41
@greg121: actually I did edit, but your answer is not a "community wiki". – vartec Feb 27 at 10:25
