Increase In Migration Of Skilled Professionals To Denmark

19 Feb 2013

Latest reports highlight the fact that the number of educated and skilled professionals coming to Denmark for jobs has increased by 5 times since 1990s.

Immigration of skilled professionals has increased after the Danish Immigration Department introduced the Green Card Scheme. The professionals along with talent bring economy boost to the country.

"Many of the highly-skilled foreigners come with some very specific skills that contribute to the competitiveness of Danish companies and help to create jobs,"

Centre for Economic and Business Research in Copenhagen studied the economy factor of overseas skilled professionals in 2011 and found that an average highly-educated immigrant with a family stays in Denmark for about 8 years and contributes nearly 2 million kroner to the public purse.

"Highly-skilled immigrants who come to the country under special schemes are very often earning high salaries,” “Since many of them are in their 30s or 40s, they rarely get sick and put a strain on society. They also often leave before they get old and become a burden.”

Danish Green Card Scheme is a very attractive permit for foreign skilled professionals as it leads to Danish Citizenship after certain years of stay in the country.

Eligibility required for Denmark Green Card are:

1. Denmark prefers young professionals. Below 40 years of age get more points than their older counterparts
2. Masters degree in education is mandatory
3. Work experience also plays a major part in getting a Green Card
4. Language proficiency in English or Danish is required
5. Professionals who have studied or worked in any European country get adaptability points
