There is good news for students and prospective students who want to study in Denmark: the Danish government has announced modifications to its work and study programs for international students. With longer working hours and a less complicated procedure to bring their spouse to Denmark, students can now easily obtain work permits.
International students in Denmark with valid work permits can now work up to 90 hours per month, which will help them pay for their living expenses as of July 1. Additionally, students can work full-time throughout the summer (June, July, and August).
Students with a valid student residence permit can now work more easily because they do not need to apply for a second work permit to work part-time, thanks to the new rule. During 180 days, they can travel inside the Schengen area for up to 90 days. Students in part-time employment can review the Positive Lists, which are updated by the Danish government and feature a wider variety of occupations, to select the position that best fits their academic goals.
The new rules also cover a spouse's relocation to Denmark to live with their partner. Spouses can join their partner if the partner in Denmark can provide proof of five years of full-time job with significant Danish communication, or if the spouse in Denmark can pass a higher-level Danish language test or prove they are proficient. Additionally, the financial guarantee required has been lowered to DKK57,000 from roughly DKK114,000. Under the new guidelines, applicants who were previously denied can also reapply.
In conclusion, the goal of the Danish government's new rules regarding employment and spouse-bringing is to draw in foreign students and professionals to Denmark.
