2025 Denmark Working Holiday Visa: Application Dates for Argentina & Chile Announced

Denmark has announced that the 2025 Working Holiday visa application period for citizens of Argentina and Chile will open in March 2025.

With a Working Holiday residence permit, you can work for a limited period within the one-year stay. Additionally, you are permitted to take short-term educational courses. Applicants' primary reason for staying in Denmark should be an extended holiday, with work serving only as a way to support their travel expenses.

According to the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI), appointments will open on:

March 3 in Santiago, Chile
March 5 in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Denmark grants 150 residence permits per year to each nationality, split into two application periods:

March – August: 75 permits for Argentinians & 75 for Chileans
September – February 2026: Another 75 permits for each nationality

Permits are issued on a first-come, first-served basis. Once the quota is filled, no further applications will be processed until the next period begins.

To apply for a Working Holiday visa, you must be at least 18 years old but not yet 31 at the time of submission. The application process takes up to three months from the date of submission.

Key Conditions & Work Limitations

The Working Holiday scheme is designed primarily for travel and cultural exchange. While participants can work, employment is limited and meant only to support their stay.

If an applicant misses out on a permit in the first round, they can reapply when the next quota period begins in September 2025. Any applications received after the quota is filled will be rejected, but the processing fee will be refunded.

Denmark also offers Working Holiday visas to citizens of New Zealand, Australia, and other countries under similar agreements.

Denmark’s Working Holiday visa process for Argentinians and Chileans is separate from the upcoming European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) and the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), but travellers should still be aware of these changes when planning their stay in Europe.

ETIAS: While not required for visa holders, Argentinians and Chileans travelling to Denmark or the Schengen Area as tourists (without a Working Holiday permit) will need to apply for ETIAS authorisation once it comes into effect (expected in 2025). This is a pre-travel security screening for visa-exempt travelers.
EES: The EU Entry/Exit System will automate border checks and track the duration of stays in Schengen countries. Even Working Holiday visa holders will have their entry and exit recorded, ensuring compliance with their permitted one-year stay.

These border policies are designed to strengthen security and monitor visitor movements more efficiently. While they don’t change the Working Holiday application process, travellers should stay informed about how ETIAS and EES may affect future trips within Europe.
