Green Card Scheme in Denmark<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you are a citizen outside of the Nordic countries or the EU\/EEA you must have a residence and work permit in order to reside and work in Denmark. There are different schemes to make it easier for you to find the right way to obtain the necessary permits and remain in Denmark.<\/p>\n

Green Card Scheme<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you are granted a residence permit under the Greencard scheme, you do not need to obtain a work permit. You just have to score enough points to become eligible for the Green Card. The minimum amount of points you have to obtain is 100 and criterias to obtain those points are Education, Language Skills, Work Experience, Adaptability, and Age. A residence permit under the Greencard scheme gives you the right to carry out paid or unpaid work, however, it does not give you the right to work as a self-employed person (run your own business). The thus obtained residence permit will be valid for up to 18 months. You must have full health insurance covering you and any accompanying family members until you are covered by the Danish National Health Insurance.<\/p>\n

Please note that you can score the necessary 100 points through education<\/strong> only if you have the necessary degrees and visited one of the top universities internationally recognized according to the latest THES_QS world ranking.. Points in education are given as follows.<\/p>\n
