Overview

Working holiday in Norway for Argentine citizens aged 18–30, enabling up to one year of casual work across multiple employers.

The Working Holiday Permit allows Argentine citizens aged 18–30 to live and work in Norway for up to one year under a bilateral youth mobility agreement. Unlike traditional work visas requiring pre-arranged jobs, it grants flexible work authorization across hospitality, tourism, and casual sectors. Applicants must have approximately 46,464 NOK in financial resources and medical insurance.

The permit is non-renewable and valid for one year. The application fee is approximately 6,300 NOK; processing takes 1–3 months. You may work for casual employers but not more than six months with the same employer. Dependents cannot accompany you, and there is no pathway to permanent residence.

This visa is ideal for Argentine adventurers aged 18–30 seeking to experience Nordic life while funding their travels through temporary casual work.
