Non-participating Countries
While most developed countries participate in a Working Holiday scheme with a number of foreign partners, the United States does not. Most countries offering these visas exclude Americans in response. There are opportunities for US citizens to work in Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and South Korea under similar bilateral programs, however.
South Africa, from where 17,000 young people previously came to the UK under the Working Holiday scheme, is also not part of the British Tier 5 Youth Mobility Scheme. However, university level students and recent graduates of any nationality are eligible to apply for a 6-month Internship in Britain through BUNAC (officially known as the BUNAC Blue Card Internship Programme).
Other non-participating countries where the previous UK scheme was popular include India, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Ghana.

Famous quotes containing the word countries:
“The contention that a standing army and navy is the best security of peace is about as logical as the claim that the most peaceful citizen is he who goes about heavily armed. The experience of every-day life fully proves that the armed individual is invariably anxious to try his strength. The same is historically true of governments. Really peaceful countries do not waste life and energy in war preparations, with the result that peace is maintained.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
