How to settle down in Denmark?

Denmark has a very attractive labour market, featuring competitive salary levels compared to the rest of of the world. Many people are not aware that Denmark offer more salary than USA and Canada.

Moving to Denmark from outside of EU countries is difficult. But it’s easy for right groups of people to migrate to Denmark.

.Refugees and immigrants are not same which many people get confused about.Denmark is closing door for refugees but not the immigrants. In order to keep the pace of its economic growth, Denmark needs more skilled workers. According the association of Danish Industries , Danish companies have difficulties to deliver orders in time because of the shortage of skilled labours.

Experts agree that refugees create nothing but burden in Denmark but skilled immigrants are vital for its growth. I have worked with human resources and I agree, too that refugees pose major problems for Denmark but not immigrants.

Many people people have got a wrong idea that Denmark is getting strict for immigrants. It is true for refugees not for immigrants.

Last year, Denmark has got 76.897 foreigners. Only 8,5% is refugees. The number is higher than that of 2016. In 2011, only 52.979 persons got residence permit in Denmark.

I outlines the ways you can move in Denmark:

Students:

The family reunification based on marriage or registered living together is little more difficult than other European countries.

The spouse who live here has to be Danish citizen or have been living for more than 26 years in order to be exempted from “attachment to Denmark requirements” The spouse must not have taken welfare benefits in last 3 years.

For non-Danish residents, condition for married couple reunification is very tough.
