Short answer: Denmark's Positive List names shortage occupations. Applicants whose roles appear on the list may find work-permit eligibility easier when education, employer and pay conditions are met. Separate pay-limit schemes exist for high salaries. It is employment migration, not investment migration.
Information current as of October 2026.
