Pathway overview

For young citizens of Ireland's bilateral Working Holiday Agreement partner countries to holiday and work in Ireland for up to a year.

Verified via the search-engine-indexed copy of irishimmigration.ie's own working-holidays page (the live page's body content is rendered client-side and wasn't directly fetchable this pass): you must be aged 18 to 30 inclusive, a citizen of a country with a bilateral Working Holiday Agreement with Ireland (real partners include Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Argentina, Chile, and a limited-quota agreement with the USA — not modeled as a precise nationality list this pass, since the exhaustive list couldn't be confirmed from a primary source), have at least €2,500 in funds if you already have a return or onward ticket (or €4,000 without one — this tool checks only the lower €2,500 floor), hold private medical insurance covering hospitalisation and repatriation, and not be accompanied by dependants unless they also hold a Working Holiday Authorisation. Places are limited, and you cannot apply if you're already in Ireland.
