Dreaming of living and working in Denmark? There’s an exciting update you need to know about! As of June 30, 2024, a new income requirement kicks in for all residence and work permit applications.
This change ensures that foreign workers receive salaries that align with Danish standards. The Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) will now assess applications based on the latest salary statistics.
How Does This Affect You?
Simple! If you’re applying for a residence and work permit in Denmark after June 30, 2024, your offered salary will be compared to the most recent salary statistics set by SIRI. This applies to both new applicants and those seeking extensions on existing permits.
However, there’s a short grace period: Applications submitted between April 1 and June 30, 2024, will be assessed based on the previous salary statistics.
Why the Shift?
This new requirement aims to create a fair playing field for foreign workers and maintain a healthy standard of living in Denmark. By ensuring competitive salaries, Denmark attracts and retains skilled professionals while protecting their rights.
Stay Ahead of the Curve!
Planning to work in Denmark? Make sure you factor in this new income requirement. Research the latest salary statistics for your desired position to ensure your offered salary meets the standards.
For the most up-to-date information, head straight to the official SIRI website or consult a Danish immigration lawyer for personalized guidance.
With careful planning and meeting the new requirements, your dream of living and working in Denmark can still become a reality! So, go forth, explore, and get ready to experience the beauty of Denmark!
