Starting September 1, 2024, Denmark will introduce new regulations for foreign workers applying for residence and work permits.
According to //travelbiz.ie/ the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) will now require all salary declarations and employment contracts to be in Danish kroner (DKK) to align with local standards. SIRI emphasized, “We will no longer accept salary declarations in foreign currencies. An addendum converting foreign currency salaries to DKK must be attached.”
This update impacts various employment schemes, including the Pay Limit Scheme, Fast Track Scheme, and Positive List for Skilled Work. Foreign workers must ensure their salaries, covering fixed pay, pension contributions, and holiday allowances, meet Danish standards.

However, for permits granted before the new rules, salaries in foreign currencies will still be accepted with a conversion based on Denmark’s National Bank rates with minimum salary requirement set at DKK 71,020.83, effective July 1, 2024.
