Independent Work & Holiday visa (subclass 462) cap alerts
Indonesia Work and Holiday visa cap alerts
Australia sets an annual limit on first Work and Holiday (subclass 462) visa grants to Indonesian passport holders. Indonesia has one of the largest allocations in the program, which also means one of the largest groups of people waiting on the same published status.
While the status is paused, new applications from Indonesian passport holders are not available. It may change later in the same program year — there is no published schedule for when.
VisaCapAlert checks Indonesia's published cap status every minute and emails you the moment we detect a change.

How the Indonesia alert works
Create your Indonesia alert
Enter your email address and confirm it with the code we send you. Indonesia is already selected as the country to monitor.
Choose how you pay
Pick the one-time payment or the monthly payment option. Both buy exactly the same Premium monitoring and notifications — only the payment structure differs.
Get notified and act promptly
VisaCapAlert checks Indonesia's published cap status every minute — up to 1,440 checks a day. When the status changes we email you, and after payment you can add and verify a phone number for an optional WhatsApp notification.
We monitor the official Home Affairs country-cap status page. That government page can be delayed by up to 48 hours, so alerts reflect when a status change is published — not necessarily when the underlying decision was made.
You remain responsible for checking the official requirements, confirming your own eligibility, and lodging your application through the official Australian Government process.

Status information comes from the official Department of Home Affairs country-cap status page. That government page can take up to 48 hours to reflect a change, so our alerts tell you when a status change is published — not necessarily when the underlying decision was made. We have no privileged access to government information about Indonesia. View the official Home Affairs cap-status page.

Understanding Indonesia's Work and Holiday visa cap
The annual cap limits how many first Work and Holiday subclass 462 visas may be granted to Indonesian passport holders in a program year. Second and third Work and Holiday visas are not counted against it in the same way.
A PAUSED status means new applications from Indonesian passport holders are temporarily unavailable. The Home Affairs page sometimes carries an additional note against a country; where it does, that note is on the official page and we link straight to it rather than paraphrasing it here.
A paused cap may change to OPEN during the same program year. A CLOSED cap will not, and waits for the 1 July reset.
VisaCapAlert has no role in when Indonesia opens, pauses or closes. We watch the published status and report changes.
Why create a Indonesia cap alert?
A large allocation attracts a large audience, and everyone watching the Home Affairs page is watching the same single line of text. The advantage is not in checking harder — it is in being told.
VisaCapAlert checks Indonesia's published status every minute and emails you when we detect that it has changed, so the news does not depend on when you happen to open a browser.
An alert does not reserve a place, submit an application, or make a grant more likely. It tells you promptly that something published has changed.
- VisaCapAlert does not reserve or hold a visa place.
- VisaCapAlert does not submit your application.
- VisaCapAlert does not assess your eligibility.
- VisaCapAlert does not provide migration advice.
- VisaCapAlert does not guarantee a visa outcome.

Indonesia cap alerts — frequently asked questions
Indonesia has an annual limit on the number of first Work and Holiday (subclass 462) visas Australia may grant to Indonesian passport holders. The current published figure is shown in the cap status panel on this page, taken directly from the official Department of Home Affairs country-cap page so it stays correct if the official figure changes.
PAUSED means new applications from Indonesian passport holders are temporarily unavailable. A paused cap may return to OPEN later in the same program year, though that is not guaranteed. We monitor the published status and notify you when we detect that it has changed.
We check Indonesia's published cap status every minute and email your confirmed address as soon as we detect that the status has changed. After payment you can also add and verify a phone number for an optional WhatsApp message. What we cannot do is tell you in advance whether or when Indonesia will open — that is decided by the official process and we learn of it when it is published.
A CLOSED status means the cap will not reopen during the current program year. If Indonesia changes to CLOSED while your alert is active, we notify you of that status change too — knowing where you stand is the point of the alert. Cap statuses reset for the new program year on 1 July.
That is a real possibility and we will not pretend otherwise: a paused cap may stay paused, or close. Your alert stays active for the monitoring period you paid for and notifies you if and when the published status changes. Because monitoring begins the moment you pay, the payment is not refundable on the basis that the status never changed — if you are unsure, that is worth weighing before you buy.
Because the wording should match the situation. "Reopens" implies the cap has already been open at some point in the current program period; where that is not the case we say "opens" instead. Either way, what we monitor is the same: a change in the published status.
Yes. The Indonesia alert is priced in Indonesian rupiah and charged by card. The amount shown on the page is exactly what you are charged; if your account is held in another currency, your card provider handles the conversion.
We deliberately do not interpret notes published against a country — doing so would edge into migration advice, and a paraphrase can go stale the moment the official page is edited. Read the note on the official Home Affairs cap-status page, linked above. Our alert covers changes to the published status itself.
Premium monitoring for this country is Rp56.000 as a single one-time payment, or Rp24.900 each month. Both cover the same service and run until 30 June 2027 AEST, and the amount is confirmed before you pay.
You confirm your email with a code and complete payment — a one-time Rp56.000, or the monthly option at Rp24.900 a month — and your alert is active straight away. After payment you can also add a phone number to be notified by WhatsApp. We then watch your selected country's cap and notify you when its published status changes.
Only in how you pay — the service is identical. One-time is a single Rp56.000 payment with no recurring charges — Rp168.100 off the Rp224.100 full price. Monthly is Rp24.900/mo while the alert is active, ending automatically on 30 June 2027 AEST.
Both options include every-minute checks, email alerts and optional WhatsApp notifications, and both stay active until 30 June 2027 AEST.
You can cancel the monthly option anytime at visacapalert.com/cancel-subscription/; no future payments are processed after cancellation, months already charged aren't refunded, and monitoring stops at that point. If a monthly payment fails, you have 7 days to update your card before the alert is cancelled.
On 1 July AEST, visa cap statuses reset, so you'll need to register again to keep tracking a country in the new cap period.
