The Pay Limit Schemes

Request a free consultation today

There are two different Pay Limit schemes in Denmark;

The regular Pay Limit scheme, and
The Supplementary Pay Limit scheme

To qualify for these schemes, you must earn a minimum wage that equals or exceeds the pay limit.

It is important to note that both schemes have specific requirements and conditions, and that applicants must meet the relevant criteria to be entitled to a residence and work permit in Denmark.

We can help you apply and provide qualified advice under both schemes, and handle the correspondence with the immigration authorities.

Passport:

Copy of all pages of your passport, incl. all blank pages as well as the front and back of the passport.

You must present a signed contract or employment offer. It is a requirement that you have been offered a job with an annual salary of the minimum amount limit (as of 1 January 2024 the amount limit is DKK 487,000 or DKK 393,000 for the supplementary amount scheme).
