Pay Limit Scheme

The Pay Limit Scheme is a streamlined residence and work permit pathway designed to attract highly qualified international professionals to the Danish labour market. It is specifically tailored for individuals who have secured high-salary employment in Denmark, regardless of their specific educational background or professional field. By setting a significant annual salary threshold, the scheme ensures that the incoming talent is well-compensated and contributes meaningfully to the Danish economy, while also simplifying the administrative burden for both employers and applicants.

This visa is ideal for skilled workers, specialists, and executives who have received a competitive job offer from a Danish-registered entity. Because it does not require a specific degree or occupation, it offers flexibility for professionals in diverse sectors, from technology and finance to management and creative industries. It serves as a primary route for non-EU/EEA nationals to establish residency in Denmark through employment, provided they meet the rigorous salary and contractual standards set by the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI).
