Work and Holiday visa cap alerts by country

Australia caps how many first Work and Holiday (subclass 462) visas it grants to each partner country every program year. When a country’s cap is paused, new applications from its passport holders are unavailable — and when the published status changes, nothing announces it in advance.

VisaCapAlert checks the official cap-status page every minute — up to 1,440checks a day — and emails you when we detect that your country’s status has changed. Pick your country below for its current status, its annual grant cap and local-currency pricing.

Waiting on a partner country not listed here? Every country on the official list is still supported — create an alert from the home page and choose it from the country list.

Statuses shown here come from the official Home Affairs country-cap status page and update twice a day. That government page can itself be delayed by up to 48 hours. VisaCapAlert is an independent notification service and is not affiliated with the Australian Government or the Department of Home Affairs.
