The Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) has published updated wage statistics that apply to the Positive List for skilled work from February 1, 2026.
When SIRI assesses applications on the Positive List for skilled work, it uses special wage statistics compiled by Statistics Denmark to assess whether an offered wage corresponds to Danish standards.
Currently, SIRI uses wage statistics based on data from Statistics Denmark’s wage register which contains information from Q2 2025
Now, the wage statistics have been updated with information from Q3 2025 which will be valid from February 1, 2026.
This means that all applications on the Positive List for skilled work submitted on or after February 1, 2026 will be assessed according to the wage statistics from Q3 2025.
Applications submitted before February 1, 2026 will still be assessed according to the wage statistics from Q2 2025
