🇩🇰 Cost Breakdown Working Holiday Visa Denmark

Volare Editorial | August 23, 2026

Applying for the Working Holiday Visa in Denmark requires an administrative investment that is divided into three mandatory stages. Having clarity on these figures from day one is fundamental to organizing your budget without surprises during the process. Below, we present the exact breakdown of the official fees required by the Danish government according to your nationality of origin.

Summary Board: Official Fees by Region

For your file to be evaluated, you must comply with the payment of consular and operational fees. Here is the comparative scheme:

Category	Nationalities	SIRI Fee (Case Order ID)	Consular Fee (ApplyVisa)	VFS Fee (Biometrics)
1. Latin America	Argentina and Chile	410 € (3,060 DKK)	250 € (1,875 DKK)	~106 €
2. English Speaking	Australia, Canada, New Zealand	410 € (3,060 DKK)	250 € (1,875 DKK)	~30 €
3. Asia	Japan and South Korea	410 € (3,060 DKK)	250 € (1,875 DKK)	~23 €

What each government fee corresponds to

These three fees represent the unavoidable legal costs to process your residence permit in the Kingdom of Denmark:

• SIRI Fee (Case Order ID): It is the fee charged by the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) for the study and administrative processing of your file.

• Consular Fee (ApplyVisa): It is the fee collected by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark for the diplomatic management of your application.

• VFS Global Fee: It is the payment for the logistical service of the external private center, VFS Global, where your fingerprints and biometric photograph are taken. Its value varies significantly depending on the country due to the local operational costs of each headquarters.

Summary Board: Miscellaneous and Complementary Expenses

There are other management costs that, although not paid directly to the Danish authorities on the visa portal, are indispensable for your folder to be successfully accepted:

Expense Concept	Estimated Range (EUR)	Procedure Detail
📜 Hague Apostilles	15 € - 30 €	International validation of public documents (e.g., criminal records).
🗣️ Sworn Translations	40 € - 80 €	Required if your bank or penal statements are not in English or Danish.
✈️ Flight Tickets	900 € - 1,400 €	Main logistical expense. (This requirement can be covered by demonstrating extra funds).
📦 Courier Service	15 € - 25 €	Cost of shipping your passport from the consulate to your home.
🏛️ Prior Legalizations	5 € - 10 €	Local ministerial stamps required before being able to issue the apostille.
📷 Biometric Photos	~10 €	In case those taken at VFS do not meet the standard or you need extra copies.

Consideration on Medical Insurance

It is fundamental to remember that, for your Working Holiday Visa to be approved, you must strictly present a Medical Insurance policy that covers the 365 days of your stay (with repatriation coverage).

This expense must be considered independently of the previous tables, as its price varies drastically depending on the private provider and the level of coverage you choose to contract (you can estimate an expense of between 350 € and 600 € annually).
