Working holiday for young adults from Argentina

info

This application form is closed for 2025

UDI can grant up to 300 Argentines a residence permit for a working holiday in Norway each year. We have already reached this number for 2025. It is, therefore, no longer possible to apply for a working holiday for citizens of Argentina.

We will open for applications from Argentines going on a working holiday in Norway at the beginning of January 2026.

Citizens of Argentina under the age of 31 can be granted a residence permit to take longer holidays and work in Norway.
