Denmark Work Visa

Denmark Work Visa and Work Permit Guidance

Denmark offers well-paid careers, strong employee rights and a high quality of life. Non-EU nationals who want to work in Denmark need a residence and work permit under one of the Danish schemes, decided by the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI).

Each scheme has its own conditions, such as salary levels, qualifications or the type of employer, and the salary thresholds are updated every year. ZANS Consultants helps you identify the scheme that may fit your profile, explains the requirements and helps you prepare a complete application file.

Denmark work permit schemes we advise on

• Pay Limit Scheme: for employment with a salary at or above the annual threshold set by the Danish authorities.

• Positive List for People with a Higher Education: for qualified professionals in occupations where Denmark has a shortage.

• Positive List for Skilled Work: for skilled workers with relevant vocational qualifications in listed occupations.

• Fast-track scheme: for employment with a company certified by SIRI.

• EU Blue Card: for highly qualified professionals who meet the Danish Blue Card conditions.
