Denmark has made a working holiday agreement with Chile.

The working holiday program 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 Chile according to the regulations which apply.

The program 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 program is to further mutual understanding between the countries.

If you qualify for the working holiday program, 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.
