Denmark Eases Entry: Foreigners Can Work Sans Permits

Denmark Eases: Denmark has recently implemented a more accessible avenue for certain foreign workers to contribute to the country’s workforce. Effective November 17, new regulations have been introduced.

Allowing specific foreign nationals to engage in short-term employment within Denmark without the usual requirement of obtaining a residence and work permit.

To be eligible for this exemption, individuals must be employed by a foreign company that has affiliations with a Danish establishment, and the Danish company in question must maintain a workforce of at least 50 employees.

This exemption is particularly tailored for those involved in managerial roles or undertaking high- or intermediate-level knowledge work.

It’s crucial to note that citizens from countries necessitating a visa still must acquire a visitor’s visa, despite the streamlined work entry process.

Furthermore, individuals holding a specific work permit tied to a particular job but seeking to extend their professional reach, such as by teaching at a specific institution or working with another company, are required to apply for a separate permit specifically tailored for sideline employment.

This proactive move by Denmark not only aims to facilitate the influx of skilled foreign workers but also ensures a smoother integration of international talent into its workforce.

The tailored eligibility criteria reflect Denmark’s strategic approach to attracting managerial and knowledge-based expertise, underscoring its commitment to fostering a dynamic and diverse professional landscape.
