Denmark has announced new work rules for international on work permits. As of July 2024, students who have already obtained their work perm its and students who will do so in the future are allowed to work 90 hours per month from January to May and September to December. Students will be able to do full-time work from June to August.
In addition, foreigners who have gained a ‘resident’ status will not need to apply for a work permit as of July 2024. This means that all foreigners with a valid resident permit under the authorization scheme will now be able to work without applying for a separate work permit.
In addition, the positive lists have also been expanded. The positive list is a collection of jobs and positions in Denmark which are facing a short supply of qualified professionals. The positive list for graduates with higher education now has 141 jobs listed while the positive list for skilled workers now has 61 jobs listed.
