Working Holiday Permit - Australia (Arbeidsferievisum - Australia)

The Working Holiday Permit for Australian citizens is a bilateral residence scheme issued by Norway's Directorate of Immigration (UDI) enabling holiday travel combined with casual employment. Australian citizens aged 18 to 30 may apply; applicants must demonstrate financial capacity of at least 46,464 NOK to cover the first three months and meet health requirements.

The permit grants one-year initial residence with renewal possible for a second year (maximum two years total). The 6,300 NOK application fee is payable upon submission. Dependents cannot accompany the visa holder. Processing typically takes one to three months. Work is restricted: applicants cannot work for the same employer longer than six months and cannot study for more than three months.

This visa is ideal for young Australians seeking a structured holiday in Norway who want to offset travel costs through casual work while experiencing Nordic culture without the commitment of formal long-term employment.
