Greencard Scheme

It is possible to obtain a permit to seek employment and work in Denmark. A residence permit under the Greencard scheme is given after an individual assessment based on a points system used to assess whether it is likely that you will be able to find qualified work in Denmark.

If you have a residence permit under the Greencard scheme, you do not need a separate work permit. A Greencard permit gives the right to paid or unpaid employment. It does not give right to self-employment.

Nordic citizens do not need a residence permit but are free to enter, live and work in Denmark. EU / EEA nationals and Swiss nationals who wish to stay in Denmark under EU rules on free movement, may be subject to special rules. Read more on nationals from the EU and Nordic countries.

If you already have a residence permit as family reunification or refugee or humanitarian residence permit, you do not need work permit to work in Denmark.

It is your own responsibility to obtain a residence and work permit if required to. If you as a foreigner working illegally in Denmark, you can be deported, and both resident and employer in Denmark can be punished by fine or imprisonment.

Terms:

To obtain a residence permit under the Greencard scheme must achieve a minimum total of 100 points. Points are allocated according to five criteria: education, language skills, work experience, adaptability and age.

It is a requirement that you have taken out insurance to cover the period until you yourself and any accompanying family members will be entitled to benefits under the Health Act.

It is also a requirement that one can prove that you are able to support themselves in the first year in Denmark. The documentation can be a bank statement in your own name, where it is clearly stated in the currency and the date it is issued. If you wish to apply for residence permits for accompanying family, you must also document that you are able to support his family. This documentation must be either in your own or your spouse’s / partner’s name.

Finally, it is a requirement that during his stay in Denmark does not receive assistance under the Act on Active Social Policy.

Education:

Academic education level can vary from country to country, although they are called the same. It will for example say that a bachelor degree from another country does not necessarily correspond to a Danish Bachelor's degree.

If you have an education which corresponds to a lower level than a Danish bachelor degree, it is not possible to obtain enough points to get a residence permit under the Greencard scheme.
