Denmark to Cut Work Permit Salary Threshold for 16 Countries

Denmark will significantly lower its work permit salary threshold early next year. This change applies to workers from 16 non-EU countries. The new rules make getting a Danish work permit much easier. It creates new career options for international professionals in Scandinavia.

The minimum annual salary threshold will drop to 322,000 Danish kroner. Currently, the threshold stands at 552,000 Danish kroner. The new monthly minimum will be 26,833 Danish kroner. This updated threshold relies on a new collective agreement-based scheme.

This policy shift offers new options for workers across the Öresund region. Many foreign graduates and skilled workers in Sweden can now explore Danish jobs. The Local Denmark reported this major policy update.
