In order to address the issue of job shortages in some industries, the Danish government has issued a list of the professions for which it is searching for foreign workers to move to Denmark and fill those positions.
Two new lists of employees went into effect on January 1, 2023: one was for those with higher education, and the other was for people who work in professions that require skilled workers.
According to a statement released by the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI), "The Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) has, on the basis of a list based on the Labour Market Balance received from The Danish Agency for Labour Market and Recruitment (STAR), developed new guiding positive lists for people with a higher education and for skilled work that will take effect on January 1, 2023."
It also notes that there are 40 job titles on the Positive List for People with a Higher Education, compared to 36 on the Positive List for Skilled Work. They both will be in force through June 30 of this year.
The 40 job titles on the Positive List for People with a Higher Education are for occupations where there is a shortage of skilled workers in Denmark.
A person must have an educational background that qualifies them to move to Denmark under this list. Before applying for a Danish work visa, the same person must also have a job offer in that field.
