The Australian program has several conditions not found in the other schemes for Israeli citizens. It requires a Senior Secondary Certificate of Education and completed military service or a legal exemption. It also has an English language requirement, such as an IELTS average band of 4.5 or more. This program is also the only one listed with a specific annual cap, with 2,500 first visas available per program year.

This page covers the destinations in this directory only: Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Japan, Germany, Hong Kong, South Korea. Singapore’s Work Holiday Programme is left out here because it depends on where your university is, not on your passport; see the Singapore sheet. A destination missing here may still run a program for your passport; check its official immigration site.
