Everything you need to know about hiring Indian workers for Denmark - SIRI compliance, AR1/AR6 filing, work permits, salary thresholds and more.
Danish employers typically need to issue a compliant employment contract, apply for the appropriate SIRI work permit, and ensure employment conditions meet Danish immigration and labour requirements. A Government of India-licensed overseas recruitment agency like Voltech assists with candidate sourcing, document verification, Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) guidance, attestation support and VFS Global biometric appointment coordination.
The Pay Limit Scheme allows eligible Danish employers to recruit qualified non-EU professionals who meet the applicable SIRI salary requirements, while the Positive List applies to occupations identified by SIRI as experiencing labour shortages. The most suitable work permit pathway depends on the job role, employer eligibility, and current immigration regulations. Voltech helps employers identify the appropriate route for each recruitment requirement.
The recruitment and deployment process typically takes 8-16 weeks, depending on SIRI work permit processing, documentation, candidate availability, notice periods and travel arrangements. Voltech coordinates recruitment, documentation and onboarding to help streamline the process and support timely deployment.
Green Energy and Engineering is the fastest-growing segment, driven by Denmark's 70% emissions reduction target for 2030. IT and Digitalisation follows closely, with Healthcare support, Advanced Manufacturing and Construction & Trades also high-volume sectors for Indian talent.
Required documents vary depending on the SIRI work permit scheme and individual circumstances, but commonly include a valid passport, AR1 or AR6 application forms, a signed employment contract, Police Clearance Certificate (PCC), educational and professional certificates, and other supporting documents requested by the Danish authorities. Voltech reviews and verifies documentation before submission to help minimise delays.
Denmark's 2026 freeze applies specifically to foreign doctors and nurses seeking Danish professional authorisation for practising roles. It does not affect Social and Health Care Workers, Lab Technicians or Healthcare Support roles - these remain fully accessible for non-EU recruitment. Voltech specialises in these open-access healthcare support roles.
As a Government of India MEA-licensed agency with 17+ years of experience and 20,000+ global placements, Voltech combines deep knowledge of the MMPA 2024 bilateral framework, current 2026 SIRI compliance and a live database of 10,000+ pre-screened candidates - so your HR team receives fully compliant, deployment-ready professionals without managing India-side complexity.
