Visas & Customs Requirements

Employment:

Residence and/or work permit must be obtained before entering Denmark.

If you wish to apply for a Danish residence and work permit, the application process depends on whether you are applying as an employee, as a self-employed person, or as a jobseeker.

If you are an employee
If you are applying for a residence and work permit as an employee (including applicants under the Positive List, the Pay Limit scheme, the Corporate scheme, researchers, athletes, trainees and religious workers), both you and your employer in Denmark (e.g. the company, research institute, sports club or religious denomination) must supply information for the processing of your application.

It is your employer in Denmark who begins the application process by completing his/her part of the application form and attaching the required documents. He/she sends or gives the form and attached documents to you. You then complete your part of the form, attach the required documents, and submit the entire application to your nearest Danish Consulate General.

There are different application forms for different types of applicants. Each application form contains a detailed description of how you and your employer in Denmark should complete the form, and which documents you must attach.

If you are a self-employed person
If you are applying for a residence and work permit as a self-employed person, the application form is to be completed by you alone. The application form contains a detailed description of how you should complete the form, and which documents you must attach.

If you are a jobseeker
If you are applying for a residence and work permit under the Greencard scheme, the application form is to be completed by you alone. The application form contains a detailed description of how you should complete the form, and which documents you must attach.

Each application contains a detailed description of which documents you must attach, beyond that you MUST submit the following:

1. A copy of the completed application form and supporting documents.


2. One extra recent passport photos (U.S. passport size)


3. Valid original passport and a copy of the passport (all pages including front page)
   Passport must be valid at least 3 months – other travel documents at least 6 months – beyond the expiration date of the visa applied for.


4. FEE U.S. $220 (If you are picking up your passport the fee will be U.S.$200)
