Agricultural exchange program for participants aged 18-30 working on Norwegian farms for up to three months through approved organizations.
The Working Guest in Agriculture Permit, administered by Norway's Directorate of Immigration (UDI), enables cultural exchange for foreign nationals aged 18–30 seeking practical farm experience and immersion in rural Norwegian life.
The permit allows up to three months of work on a specific farm, with a one-time 6,300 NOK application fee and 1–3 months processing. Applicants must be mediated by an approved organization, live with the host family, and cannot work elsewhere. The stay does not count toward permanent residence and cannot be renewed.
This visa is ideal for young adults seeking immersive cultural experience and practical agricultural training on family farms, rather than formal employment.
Must be between 18 and 30 years old.
Must have a concrete offer of employment from a Norwegian farm.
