A Residence And Work Permit Under The Green Card

The Kingdom of Denmark consisting of the Faroe Islands, Denmark, and Greenland is located in the northern part of Europe. The temperate climate and breathtakingly beautiful white sand beaches in Denmark attract hordes of tourists each year and an increasing number of migrants from all over the world.

A residence permit of maximum validity of 18 months can be obtained by scoring a minimum of 100 points in total under the Green Card Scheme based upon factors of age, language skills, work experience, education and adaptability. This permit allows one to bring one’s immediate family along on the VISA. Another requirement in addition to these 100 points is the existence of a health insurance policy within Denmark that provides evidence that you will be able to support the stay of yourself and your family in the country for the said term.
