This route is for Australian citizens aged 18 to 36 when applying.
You must be a citizen of Australia
You must be at least 18 years old and no older than 36 years old at the time you submit your application for a Working Holiday residence and work permit.
The stay must primarily be a holiday; salaried work is allowed to supplement travel funds, and a limited-duration educational course is permitted.
The purpose of your stay must primarily be to be on holiday for an extended period of time and secondarily to work for the purpose of supplementing your travel funds.
With a Working Holiday residence permit, you are allowed to work to a limited extent. This means that you are allowed to work a number of months during a period of 1 year. You are also allowed to attend an educational course of limited duration.
A previous Working Holiday stay in Denmark prevents a new Working Holiday permit; Australian participants may work for up to six months in a year and no more than three months for one employer.
If you have been on a working holiday stay in Denmark before, it is not possible for you to be granted a permit for a new working holiday stay.
