Work in Denmark

Working in Denmark 

 

If you, as a foreign worker, wish to work in Denmark, it is usually necessary to have obtained both a residence and work permit before you can start working. However, there are certain cases where it is allowed to perform work-related activities in Denmark on the basis of a visa visit or visa-free visit, without having a specific residence and work permit. 

For visits of a duration of less than three months, it is allowed to perform certain activities without having a residence and work permit. This includes actions such as teaching, participating in meetings, negotiations, briefings, as well as receiving training and instruction. 

However, it is important to note that if your activities during the visit involve contributing to the creation or modification of a product, or otherwise affect the company's production, a specific work permit is still required. 

It is of great importance that there is agreement between you and the company you plan to visit before you travel to Denmark about the purpose of your stay. This is crucial to avoid applying for a visa if the purpose of the stay requires both a residence and work permit. This may be the case, for example, if the activities you intend to perform during the stay extend over 90 days. 

  • It is important to note that the work permit is required from the first day if the work-related activities are expected to last longer than 90 days. This applies regardless of whether you are subject to visa requirements or have visa-free access upon entry and stay in Denmark. 

Therefore, it is crucial that your application contains a detailed description of the activities you intend to perform during your visit. All aspects of the task must be carefully specified. This involves a detailed description of the content of the teaching or training and a precise indication of the system used. A comprehensive and precise description of the purpose of the visit contributes positively to the case processing.

Each application is assessed individually, but the following examples provide an illustration of the practice in the area:
