Companies in Denmark that are affiliated with a company abroad where the visa applicant is employed can now submit an online invitation for a business visa application.
The new online invitation is called: VU5 online: Invitation for a business visa application – affiliated companies
The contact person for the company in Denmark can use VU5 online if they wish to make use of the special scheme exempting employees in affiliated companies from the requirement of a work permit.
If the company in Denmark has prior approval to receive visits from visa-required foreign nationals and is affiliated with a company abroad where the visa applicant is employed, the company can use the online invitation for companies with prior approval:
VF2 online: Invitation for a business visa application – companies with prior approval
In VF2 online, the contact person for the company can indicate that they wish to make use of the scheme for affiliated companies.
It is an advantage to use a visa invitation, as in most cases this shortens the processing time. Once an invitation has been completed, the application will generally be sufficiently documented at the time of submission. This means that it will normally not be necessary to obtain additional information from the host in Denmark.
