Downpayment to secure your family booking:
The downpayment to book your family depends on adult/child numbers –  please email here victoria.mcneil@workingabroad.com and we can confirm downpayment for different family configurations and send you the secure payment link to secure your family booking.

If for some reason, your family application is not accepted/or if we are fully booked, we would reimburse your application payment fully.

For families who are accepted and booked in, the downpayment is deducted from the balance payment, and 50% of the balance payment is due in 2 installments and paid in full no later than 2 months before arrival.  If you apply with under 2 months notice, the full payment is due in full upon confirmation.
