Digital Nomad Visa & Immigration in Denmark

Denmark offers one of the highest standards of living and social trust in the world, but it actively discourages standard digital nomads. There is no remote work visa.

The Pay Limit Scheme

This is the most common route for highly skilled non-EU workers.

• Requirements: You must be offered a job by a Danish employer paying a highly specific minimum salary. In 2026, the threshold is around 480,000 DKK (approx. $70,000 USD) per year.
• Benefits: It is a fast-track process (often approved within a month).

The Start-Up Denmark Visa

For entrepreneurs wanting to build scalable tech companies.

• Requirements: Your business idea must be approved by a panel of experts appointed by the Danish Business Authority. It cannot be a standard freelance consulting business, a restaurant, or an import/export shop. It must be highly innovative.
