ABOUT THE GREEN CARD

Under the scheme, non-European Union skilled migrants are allowed to come to Denmark under a renewable 3 years permit for the purpose of finding work. The Danish green card is quite different from the US green card, which grants permanent residence. Under this scheme you get to enter Denmark & live there. When you find a job, you are granted a permit to work in Denmark.

There are excellent opportunities in Denmark as Danish companies are facing shortages in getting qualified employees.

This programme is a new way of allowing qualified individuals to come in and work in Denmark.

Foreigners with special qualifications obtaining employment in areas with the shortage of Danish labour have easy access to residents and work permits in Denmark.

Denmark issued more than 1692 green cards in 2007; scheme has been expanded this year to allow many more qualified Indian workers to apply.
