From July 1, 2022, the Danish government has improved its work rights for recent graduates and Positive Skills list employees.
Recent foreign graduates who have received a job offer and applied for a residence and work permit can begin work in Denmark while immigration authorities process their application if they applied through programs, including:
- The Positive List for People with a Higher Education
- The Positive List for Skilled Work
- The Pay Limit scheme
- Researchers
- Special individual qualifications
- The Fast-Track scheme
- Drill-rigs, herdsmen, farm managers, and other mobile workplaces
Employers who hired individuals under the Positive List for Skilled Work can now calculate their requirement to train a certain number of employees using two of the last three years instead of the most recent year.
