Guidelines for work permits

Visa (short term) or work permit? As a foreign national in Denmark, you will, in most cases, need a work permit before working on temporary events. Please find guidelines and application forms herein.

 

In general, a citizen from a third country outside the EU, EEA and the Nordics, who is to carry out work in Denmark, must have a work permit. 

As a result of the implementation of Brexit on 31 January 2020, British citizens are subject to the rules for third country citizens.

Please find below the latest information provided by The Danish Chamber of Commerce, outlining the process around obtaining a work permit.

Please be advised that neither Copenhagen Convention Bureau, nor The Danish Chamber of Commerce can give detailed advice or guidance on specific cases, exemptions, individual business schemes or applications.
