Working
holiday
Denmark has made working holiday agreements with Australia, Canada,
Chile, Japan and New Zealand.
The
working holiday programme makes it possible for young people from these
countries to get a residence permit in order to stay in Denmark for
an extended period of time. The agreements go both ways and also make
it possible for young people from Denmark to stay in one of these countries
according to the regulations which apply to each country.
The
programme was established in order to give young people from these countries
a chance to experience each other’s culture and way of life. As
such, the purpose of the programme is to further mutual understanding
between the countries.
If
you qualify for the working holiday programme, you can be granted a
residence permit for a maximum of 12 months. The primary purpose of
your stay must be holiday, but you may work during your stay in order
to earn supplementary funds to support yourself.
You
are allowed to work for a maximum of six months during a 12-month stay.
You
are also allowed to study or take a training course for a limited period
of time.
