Here’s everything you need to know about eligibility, process, and legal requirements in 2024.
🇩🇰 What Is the Denmark Fast-Track Scheme?
The Fast-Track visa is a residence and work permit scheme that allows Danish companies certified by SIRI (The Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration) to hire foreign professionals under simplified and accelerated procedures.
🧑💼 Who Can Use the Fast-Track Visa?
To qualify, both the company and the applicant must meet legal requirements:
✅ Employers must:
-

-
Offer a valid, full-time job contract
-

-
Have professional qualifications in a relevant field
-
Be offered a job under one of the approved Fast-Track categories
-
Meet minimum annual salary requirements (DKK 375,000+ as of 2024)
