What stands out

Unlike many other working holiday programs, the Australian visa for Singapore citizens has specific education and English language requirements. You must have a tertiary qualification, such as a degree or diploma, or have completed at least 2 years of undergraduate university study. You also need to demonstrate at least Functional English, for example with an IELTS average band of 4.5 or a PTE Academic score of 30 from a test taken in the last 12 months.

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.
