korttidspermittering

Korttidspermittering, also known as a short-term work permit, is a Danish labor market solution aimed at providing temporary work permits for foreigners. The program is designed to help alleviate labor shortages in specific industries.

Under this initiative, foreign workers can receive a short-term work permit for up to three months. The permit allows them to work in Denmark for a limited period, usually in fields where there is a shortage of skilled or unskilled labor. The program is primarily aimed at sectors such as agriculture, construction, and the service industry.

To apply for a korttidspermittering, an employer must demonstrate that they cannot find a Danish or EU/EAA citizen to fill the vacancy. The application must be submitted through the Danish agency Sveriges Stats Ministrie. If approved, the foreign worker will be granted a short-term work permit, enabling them to work in Denmark for the designated period.

Key requirements for applying for a korttidspermittering include that the foreign worker must have a valid passport, and the employer must provide proof of the labor shortage and evidence of attempting to fill the position locally. Special rules and regulations may apply, such as meeting specific employment standards and terms.

The evolved nature of the Danish labor market necessitates measures like korttidspermittering to ensure the availability of labor for key industries. While primarily a short-term solution, lasting sometimes only a few months, it addresses the immediate need for foreign labor in the region, typically relating to seasonal or temporary employment demands. The administration of the grant has the power to set specific requirements for candidates as well as employers, allowing this mechanism to highly stimulus individual sectors.
