Denmark stops import of IT specialists outside normal rules

Published: 7 July 2003 y., Monday
It will no longer be possible for Danish companies to automatically employ foreign IT specialists as an exception to the ordinary strict rules on residence permits. From 15 July the Danish Immigration Service will stop allowing IT specialists exemptions from immigration laws. This is because there is no longer a shortage of Danish IT workers. Under the 'jobkort' [job card] scheme companies have been able to bring IT specialists to Denmark provided they promised them a permanent job and salary in accordance with Danish conditions. In future organizations which are affected must seek permission in each individual case.
