Denmark has decided to ease residency rules for the family members of returning expatriate Danes with certain work-related experience. The new rules, set to take effect on July 1, 2024, were announced by the Danish migration authorities. This change will allow Danish citizens living abroad to bring their foreign family members with them when they return to Denmark for employment purposes.

To be eligible for this new scheme, the expatriate Danish citizen must either have a job offer in Denmark or have already entered the country for work. If the Danish citizen were a foreign national, the job would qualify them for a residence permit under one of the following work schemes:

- The Positive Lists

- The Pay Limit Schemes

- Researcher

- Special individual qualifications

- Herdsmen and farm managers

- The Fast Track Scheme’s pay limit track, supplementary pay limit track, researcher track, and educational track.

Before this initiative, Denmark had announced new changes regarding foreign labor in the healthcare sector. These new rules, set to take effect on July 1, will add social and healthcare workers to the Positive List for Skilled Workers, with a quota of 1,000 residence and work permits.

Additionally, authorities have expanded the authorization scheme, enabling in-demand healthcare experts to obtain a residence permit to pursue Danish authorization. Under the revised rules, residence permit holders in the authorization scheme will no longer need separate work permits, allowing them to work in Denmark during their authorization stay without additional applications.

Additionally, Denmark has decided to extend residence permits for international students pursuing professions with labor shortages. Upon completing their studies, these students will be able to stay in Denmark for up to six months to seek employment. This measure aims to retain foreign talent within the country.
