Intern (Praktikant)

The Intern residence permit in Denmark is established under the Danish Aliens Act to provide foreign students or recent graduates with the opportunity to gain professional experience within a Danish workplace. This program fills the gap for individuals who need to supplement their ongoing or recently completed education with practical, hands-on training that is directly relevant to their academic field of study, ensuring that their international experience is academically and professionally coherent.

This permit is intended for individuals aged 18 to 34 who are currently enrolled in or have recently completed an educational program in their home country. It is particularly suited for fields such as the green sector (agriculture, veterinary, horticulture), healthcare, architecture, and various technical or scientific disciplines. A distinctive feature of this visa is the requirement that the internship must have a clear educational objective and a natural connection to the applicant's studies, often requiring formal approval of the internship placement to ensure high-quality training standards.
