Denmark to revise application processing fees, salary requirements and Positive Lists effective 1 January 2025

Effective 1 January 2025, the Danish immigration authorities will update their immigration application processing fees, minimum salary requirements and Positive Lists (i.e., lists of professions experiencing a shortage of skilled or highly qualified professionals in Denmark). These changes will impact foreign nationals who seek to apply for work or residence permits. Employers may take into account the changes and update their internal policies as required to ensure that salaries paid to impacted individuals comply with the new updated income statistics and correspond to Danish standards.
