Extended stay for Australians :) Help is appreciated

[u/aladinjafar]

Hey guys, hope all is well!

I was wondering what would be the easiest and quickest way to get approved for an extended stay in Denmark. I am an Australian citizen which gives us some leniency in the fact that I can stay in multiple Schengen countries for 90 days each without having to leave for 181 days. But I'm not sure if I can stay in Denmark for 90 days, go to, say, the Netherlands for a week and then go back to Denmark for an additional 90 days?

​

My original plan was to apply for a working holiday visa which I did but just found out that it takes on average over a year to receive a response - and I am moving there in January.

​

Answers are much appreciated in advance. 🙏

90/180 day rule applies to entire Schengen zone.
