On 1 June 2016 the reciprocal Work and Holiday visa arrangement between Australia and Israel commenced.

The visa arrangement enables young Israeli and Australian adults, aged 18 to 30, to enjoy an extended holiday in Australia or Israel respectively, during which they may undertake short term work and study.

The Work and Holiday visa arrangement has an annual cap of 500 visas in Israel and 500 visas in Australia per year. 

This arrangement will help Australians and Israelis continue to enhance their already close ties, and reflects the strong bond of friendship our nations share.

Eligible young Australians are able to apply for a Work and Holiday visa to visit Israel from 1 June 2016.
