Countries offering alt Working Holiday Visas

South Korea

Indian nationals can go in South Korea through SWAP program via International Youth Exchange. This is quite a unique program as you will be exchanged with a certain family member abroad.

Both Working Holiday Visa and SWAP program will be all about cultural exchange. However, Working Holiday Visa is more flexible compared to SWAP.

There is a USD 300 application fee and is refundable if there is no suitable match family found.

Australia

Currently, Australians do not have working holiday visa in India. Indian nationals are also not eligible for the meantime. Announcements will be posted at the Border and Immigration Department website of Australia.

We’ll update this post once announcement from the Australian Government has been published.

New Zealand

Nationals of eligible countries are allowed to stay 1 year in New Zealand. You must have enough funds to support your stay in the country. Eligible applicants such as fresh graduates from a university are encouraged to apply.

The application process can be done online at the New Zealand Immigration website. Note that there are only limited slots available and not all applicants will be accepted. Statistics are telling us that fresh graduate applicants have great chances of visa approval.

Application for Working Holiday Visa in New Zealand is currently not available for Indian citizens.

  • Does the content of the article justify the title?? Basically it states about the countries not offering working holiday visa to indian citizens.

  • How is this helpful in anyway? Basically none of the countries listed here give work holiday visas to Indians. What’s the point of this article really?!

      • If possible post the reasons Why NO country in this world is not interested in giving working holiday Visa to indians. Working holiday Visa concept is about sharing cultures traditions knowledge while working and travelling right. Does rest of world not interested in knowing indian traditions, indian cultures?

    • No, it is not. It tells you that no countries are offering working holidays visas to Indian nationals. If there will be an announcement, for sure this article will be updated and will help those who are eligible.

      • Hi Mark i appreciate your time in making this article. Instead of listing down the countries which says no to indian visa holders, its good to list down the countries which says yes. Don’t take in a wrong way its my opinion.
