Hola compatriotas,

Yo estuve en dinamarca por un año con la visa de working holidays, actualmente la posibilidad de encontrar trabajo en europa es reducida, y en dinamarca tambien, las posibilidades aumentan en verano (abril-agosto), pero de todas maneras en el 98% de los trabajos te piden hablar danes, afortunadamente la visa WH te permite estudiar danes gratis en dinamarca, les recomiendo el VUF para dichos fines, aproximadamente toma 6 meses poder empezar a comunicarte, es bastante complicado el idioma.

Les recomiendo esperar que la crisis laboral pase en europa, una fecha ideal es el siguiente verano danes (abril 2011), la situacion deberia estar normalizada para esa fecha.

La embajada se demora entre 1 y 3 meses en darte la respuesta de tu postulacion a la visa, si estas apurado puedes recibir la respuesta en dinamarca.

PS. Nunca he escuchado que a alguien le hayan rechazado la aplicacion.

Suerte un abrazo

Each year, the International Experience Canada offers young Chileans the opportunity to work, study, and travel anywhere in Canada for up to one year. It's a great way of getting to know Canada, learning a new language, and making new friends!

There are new 350 work permits available up until December 31st, 2010 for Chilean youth to go to Canada under the International Experience Canada . There are four different categories under which you may apply and it is important that you indicate which of these categories you are applying under since different criteria apply. The four categories are:

• Working Holiday: This category applies to youth who wish to stay in Canada for tourism and cultural discovery while being authorized to work on an occasional basis in order to supplement their financial resources. This category also includes youth who would like to study English or French in Canada before travelling or working.

• Internships: This category applies to youth who wish to complete an internship under a contract of employment in a business in Canada as part of their studies or training.

• Supplementary graduate training: This category applies to university or college graduates who wish to broaden their work experience through a work contract in Canada and increase their knowledge of the languages, society and culture of Canada.

• Inter-institutional work-study agreement: This category applies to university or college students who wish to complete part of their curriculum in an institution in Canada as part of a work-study agreement.

• You must be a Chilean citizen primarily residing in Chile at the time of application.
• The main purpose of your stay must be holiday.
• You must be between the ages of 18 and 30 at the time of application (both years included).
• You may not be accompanied by family members.
• You may not have already held a Danish residence permit under the working holiday programme.
• You must have a valid passport.
• You must have a return ticket or sufficient funds to buy one.
• You must have sufficient funds to pay for food and lodging during the initial part of your stay in Denmark, equal to DKK 15,000.
• You must have health insurance which includes coverage for hospital stays, to the extent that this is not covered by the Danish National Health Insurance.

You are allowed to study or take a training course for a maximum of three months without having to apply for a special permission.

You are allowed to work for a maximum of six months during a 12-month stay. You may not take permanent employment. Working for longer than three months with any one employer is not allowed. 

How to apply

Including all necessary information with your application will help expedite the processing time. 

The application form contains a detailed description of how you should complete the form, and which documents you must attach:

Residence permit under the Working Holiday programme
> Application form WH1

Furthermore, you can obtain a printed version of the application form from the Danish diplomatic mission in your country of residence, from the Service Centre of the Immigration Service, or from the local police.  

 Does it cost anything to submit an application?

Yes, if you submit your application to a diplomatic mission (embassy or consulate general) you will normally have to pay a fee. The fee can vary in price. The individual diplomatic mission can also make further demands such as extra passport photos or duplicate copies of the application. We recommend that you check with the requirements on the website of the diplomatic mission in your country before the application is submitted.

 Where to submit your application?

Normally, you must have obtained a residence permit before entering Denmark. You can submit your application in your country of origin (or in the country where you have resided legally for the past three months). In certain cases, it is possible to submit an application in Denmark, but this depends on your grounds for being in the country.

Generally, you cannot submit an application for a residence permit after entering Denmark. However, if you have originally been granted a residence permit on grounds other than working holiday, then you can submit the application in Denmark.

 If you submit your application in your country of origin

If you apply in your country of origin, you can submit your application at the Danish diplomatic mission (embassy or consulate general). When you have completed and submitted the application form, the diplomatic mission will forward it to the Danish Immigration Service, where it will be processed.

If you have resided legally in another country for the past three months, you can also submit your application at the Danish diplomatic mission in that country.

If there is no Danish diplomatic mission in your country of origin or country of residence, you can submit your application in another country. You can find additional information about Danish diplomatic missions abroad on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

If you submit your application in Denmark

Normally, you must have obtained a residence permit before entering Denmark. If you submit your application after entering the country, the Immigration Service may refuse your application. This means that you will have to return to your country of origin or residence and submit a new application to the Danish diplomatic mission there.

In some cases, you may submit your application in Denmark. If the Immigration Service accepts your application for processing, you may stay in the country during the processing. If the Immigration Service refuses your application, you can appeal the decision to the Ministry of Refugee, Immigration and Integration Affairs.

If you live in the Greater Copenhagen area, you should submit the application at the Service Centre of the Immigration Service. If you live elsewhere you can also submit your application at your local police station.

Processing your application

When the Immigration Service has received your application for a residence permit, it will evaluate it along with the enclosed documentation. In addition, the Immigration Service will check to find out if you have been reported to the Schengen Information System (SIS).

If the Immigration Service receives information that does not correspond with the information you provided, you will normally be asked to explain discrepancies before the Immigration Service rules in the case.

Once the Immigration Service has received all necessary information relating to your application, it will chose whether or not to grant you a residence permit.

 How do you receive the ruling?

If you submit your application from your country of origin or country of residence, the Immigration Service will send the ruling to the diplomatic mission where you submitted your application. The diplomatic mission will then forward it to your home address, or request that you pick it up in person.

If you submit your application in Denmark, the Immigration Service will send the ruling to your address in Denmark, or to your attorney. The Immigration Service may also request that you pick it up in person at the Service Centre, or it may send it to the police, who will then forward it to your home address. If the Immigration Service has decided to reject your application, it will ask you to leave Denmark before a specified date. In this case, you will be informed of your avenues to appeal the ruling.

Starting with the quota (1,000 places) opening in October 2010, applications under this scheme must be made online.  Manual or paper-based applications which are received by the New Zealand Embassy in Santiago or by any INZ office will be returned to the applicant.

As with many of our working holiday schemes, the interest from potential applicants is much greater than the number of places available. This can result in the quota being filled within hours of it opening, and may mean that many people miss out.

To be eligible

You must:

• have a Chilean passport that is valid for at least three months after your planned departure from New Zealand
• be at least 18 and not more than 30 years old
• not bring children with you
• hold a return ticket or sufficient funds to purchase such a ticket*
• have a minimum of NZ$4,200 available funds to meet your living costs while you’re here
• meet our health and character requirements
• hold medical and comprehensive hospitalisation insurance for the length of your stay
• be coming to New Zealand to holiday, with work or study being secondary intentions for your visit
• not have been approved a visa or permit under a Working Holiday Scheme before.

*You are required to hold sufficient funds for the duration of your visit and for the purchase of an outward ticket from New Zealand. Such evidence may be requested on arrival at the border.

Health requirements

You will need to meet our health requirements for a temporary stay in New Zealand.      

Character requirements

You will need to meet our character requirements for temporary entry to New Zealand. 

When you’re here

• you must not take up permanent employment (unless you apply for and are granted an ordinary work permit while you’re here)
• you must not work for the same employer for more than three months
• you can enrol in one or more courses of training or study of up to three months’ duration in total during your visit.

Please note: New Zealand law prohibits any person on a temporary permit, including a working holiday scheme work permit, from providing commercial sexual services, or operating or investing in a business which provides such services.

Tax

Like all New Zealand workers, you will need an IRD number so that your employer can deduct tax from your earnings at the correct rate. In New Zealand, you pay tax on a pay as you earn (PAYE) basis. This means that there should not be a large refund or an amount to pay when you leave. For more information see Inland Revenue's Travelling to New Zealand webpage [external link].

How do I apply?

There are no places remaining under this scheme. A further 1,000 places will become available in October 2010.

You will therefore need to show that you have access to at least AUD$ 5000 plus additional money for airfare. Airfares to Australia will be considered to cost approximately AUD$ 2500, unless you have evidence of a reservation at a cheaper price. Please remember that if you buy your airfares prior to being granted a visa, you do so at your own risk. 

You can provide the following forms of evidence to demonstrate that you have sufficient funds: 

• bank account statement; 
• letter from a bank or other financial institution (which should be on the bank or financial institution’s letterhead, dated and signed);

• a signed and completed Form 1208 ‘Application for a Work and Holiday visa’.

How do I lodge the application?

If you are lodging your application in person 

You will need to make an appointment with the Visas and Immigration Section through the Information Service for Australian Visas (ISAV) following the instructions below. Appointments are usually held in the afternoons. 

To make an appointment, please go to the link:http://www.immi.gov.au/contacts/forms/americas/ with the subject heading in the body text ‘Work and Holiday visa appointment request’. Confirmation of your appointment will be sent via return email. 


If you are lodging your application through courier 

You will need to send the application (including the completed form, passport, visa application fee and supporting documentation) via courier to this address:

Las Condes, Santiago, Chile 

If you are outside Chile 

You will need to lodge your application via courier to the address above. Please note that you can apply from anywhere but MUST NOT be in Australia at the time of your application. 

How long will it take to process my visa application?

If you lodged your complete visa application in person, it will be processed on the spot and the visa might be granted immediately. 

However, please note that the decision to grant the visa immediately is up to the visa officer. The officer may need to request additional information, or your application may have to undergo further processing, which can delay the grant of the visa. The visa officer will advise you at the time of the appointment if your visa cannot be granted immediately. 

If you lodged your complete visa application by courier, it will be evaluated within regular processing times, which is, on average, 10 working days. The officer processing your application may need to request additional information, or your application may have to undergo further processing, which can delay the grant of the visa. 

A complete application is one where you have: 
• lodged a fully completed application form; 
• paid the correct visa fee; 
• provided all supporting documents; and 
• a health assessment if necessary with an authorised doctor. 

Please refer to the checklist to ensure you have a complete visa application. 

When should I apply for my visa?

You can apply at any time provided that there are places available. 

Can I buy my plane tickets or make other financial commitments before I am granted the visa?

Until you are actually granted a visa, there is no guarantee that you will receive a visa to travel to Australia. 


If you choose to make any kind of binding financial arrangements (including buying airfares) prior to being granted a visa, you do so at your own risk. 

The fact that you have already purchased airfares to Australia will not be considered in making a decision to grant or refuse the visa. 

Where can I get further information?

You can find further information about the Work and Holiday visa on the department’s website. 

You can also contact the department by: 

Telephone: +1 905 280 1437 (Information Service for Australian Visas, Canada)
