need information on Working Holiday Visas for Americans in Europe. specifically about educational requirements.
After graduating from high school this year, I'm planning to take a gap-year and live/work/travel in Europe. I have basically ruled out the possibility of getting a work visa or a student visa, but have heard hope-inspiring things about Working Holiday Visas.
I know that Ireland has an agreement with the US through which US citizens 18-30 years old can get WHVs. Does anyone have any information regarding the requirements of obtaining this visa or a WHV for any other European country?
Specifically, I need to know about educational requirements, (i.e., do I have to be a college/university student to be eligible for the visa?).
I know, for example, that for an Australian WHV, citizens of many other countries must be in post-secondary schools to apply for the visa whereas citizens of the US only need to have a high school diploma.
I would appreciate any information regarding this.
Thank you!

Reply to this What's your status in school, if any? I think BUNAC visas in Britain allow people to have apply up to 6 months or so after losing full time status. I don't know for sure but I participated in one after I graduated College and was no longer full time. www.BUNAC.org
