About Working Holiday Visa — Chile

A Working Holiday visa is a bilateral residence route for a long cultural stay. It allows eligible young people to travel independently and take temporary work to supplement their funds. It does not provide a job, accommodation or a language course.

Applications are submitted online through Chile’s National Migration Service. The bilateral agreement for your passport controls quotas and document details. Check the official route for your passport before booking travel because quotas, fees, document formats and appointment availability can change.
