Danish scholarships are awarded to 34 other European countries in addition to the countries mentioned.

Government scholarships for non-European students

In each year a limited number of state scholarships are delegated by Danish higher education institutions to non-European students who qualify.

Immigration to Denmark through work
Citizens of countries outside the European Union and outside the Nordic Nordic countries (Nordic region) must apply for a residence permit and a work visa to work in Denmark. If a work visa is obtained, the person's companions (family members) are allowed to stay. Obtaining a Danish work visa depends primarily on having the necessary capabilities in the applicant. Various methods and schemes have been defined for the workforce, which are mentioned below. Earlier, Denmark had a program called the Danish green card, which was a scoring system. If you scored the necessary points in this system, you can earn Danish residency. But now the Danish green card has been revoked and it can no longer be done in this way. 

You must be able to obtain a job offer from an employer in Denmark for work and a work visa. The position in question must first be advertised in Denmark and the European Union, and no person has been found to hold it, in which case the employer can give you an invitation. It is clear that it will simply not be possible to receive a job offer for a person outside the European Union, so people who have the right conditions for studying in Denmark will usually enter through a study visa and start working in Denmark or other European countries after their studies have ended. 

Immigration to Denmark by investment and company registration
According to the World Bank, Denmark is one of the best European countries to invest and start a business. Denmark is also ranked third out of a total of 189 countries in the world for starting a business and investing, according to the same report. The tax rate on companies in the country is 22%.

In general, company registration in Denmark is possible in two ways: online registration and paper registration. Companies registered in Denmark must choose an auditor and submit annual financial performance reports. Under the following conditions it will not be necessary to select an auditor and submit audited reports.

  • Balance sheet amount equivalent to 4,000,000 Danish kroner
  • Net turnover equivalent to 8,000,000 Danish kroner
  • Employing an average of 12 full-time employees during the fiscal year

Note that you cannot obtain Danish residency by registering a company alone. You must submit a strong business plan or business plan to the Danish government and prove that it can have a positive impact on the employment of Danish citizens and the economy of the country. So getting to know the business market in Denmark is very important.

In general, the following types of companies can be registered in Denmark.

Se-public company

The minimum capital required to register the company is € 120,000. EU rules must be followed in establishing the company. If the company's official address is in Denmark, it must be registered with the Danish business organization. The company's location and nationality can be transferred from Denmark to other European countries.

Eeig-European economic interests Group

Individuals or companies from different European countries gather together to start a business in the European Union and establish a company together. If the company's official address is in Denmark, the company must be registered in Denmark. Registration of such companies in Denmark is possible without the need for initial capital. In these companies, there is no need to prepare separate financial accounts because each member will pay the relevant tax in accordance with the laws of his country and in proportion to his share of the partnership.

IVS-limited liability company

In 2014, IVS has been introduced as a new scheme of limited liability companies. The minimum capital required to register such companies is a Danish Crown. These companies are mostly registered with the aim of starting a small business in Denmark and having restrictions on the initial capital supply required. If it is not possible to finance a business, the operating capital will usually be financed by obtaining a loan.

JV - partnership of joint Venture legal entities

Usually, companies (legal entities) of different nationalities take action to carry out specific activities in Denmark to establish partnerships and register companies. These companies register their participation in the form of A/s or ApS companies.

Private equity firm

The terms of A/s and ApS are specified above.

Business license-Personal Business Entity

For small businesses managed mainly by an individual, a business license can be obtained in Denmark. This method does not require the minimum capital required to register a company. If other people need to partner, this will also be done through other company registration methods such as limited liability or JV. In any case, in order to do business, such as real estate, buying and selling, industry, construction and ... all partners (or sole owner) must be registered with the local business administration.

It is important to note that although Denmark is a country with good investment potential, it should be noted that for Iranian citizens, the investment routes that lead to obtaining residence in the country are usually complex and risky. So the applicant does not normally directly choose the investment method to get residency in the country and invests in the country in other ways after entering Denmark and obtaining residency.

 

Immigration to Denmark by birth
In relation to obtaining residence and citizenship in countries, two systems of soil and blood are followed. Countries that follow the soil system grant citizenship to children born on their soil. In the blood system, citizenship is granted on the basis of parental citizenship, which means that the born child, regardless of his place of birth, will acquire the citizenship of his parents. In many countries, there is no difference between mother and father, and if each parent is a citizen of that country, they also give citizenship to the child. Danish citizenship by birth in Denmark follows the blood system, meaning that the child must be born to a Danish parent in order to obtain Danish citizenship by birth. 

Residence in Denmark by marriage
One of the easiest ways to obtain Danish citizenship is by marrying a Danish person or a Danish resident. But it should be noted that today, due to the abuses that have been carried out in this way, very strict rules have been put in place in this chapter. So now only people can immigrate to Denmark through a marriage visa to prove their true intention.

Among the laws that prevent any abuse through marriage visas today is the granting of a passport to a foreign spouse after spending several years living together in that country. There are also strict rules in Denmark, and if you want to marry a Danish citizen, you must prove that your marriage is a matter of interest and understanding, and that your goal is not a formal marriage to obtain Danish residency. If the marriage is proven to be real, a foreign couple is granted temporary residence in Denmark, and after 2 years of marriage and living in Denmark, a person can apply for Danish citizenship. 

Immigration of artists and athletes to Denmark
One form of immigration to Denmark is the migration of artists and highly successful people in various fields. It is possible to immigrate to Denmark for artists and people who have significant successes in sports on various occasions, with a job offer. Artists can easily take steps to obtain a Danish work and residence permit. Applicants who intend to emigrate in this way must have a unique ability. Artists can easily take steps to obtain a Danish work and residence permit. Applicants who intend to emigrate in this way must have a unique ability. From the conditions of immigration to Denmark for artists, it is that artists must provide evidence of proof of having their own skill.

Well-known athletes and athletes involved in Premier League teams can use this method to immigrate to Denmark. One of the requirements for sports immigration is that applicants must have top ranks in their sports field and sport as their main profession and earn money from this path.

Doctor's immigration to Denmark
In the immigration routes provided for applicants, immigration to Denmark for doctors is one of the best possible methods for qualified applicants. Doctors who are in a country other than Denmark and intend to immigrate to the country should know that to qualify for immigration to the country and their employment status, the conditions for issuing a work permit in Denmark and their residence depend on the citizenship of the applicant. Applicants need to be employed to receive medical training in Denmark, which is considered a position in the country. To practice in Denmark, your medical degree must be approved by the Danish patient safety organization. The necessary conditions for migration of doctors are to have a medical degree, language skills, immigration status and insurance.

A residence permit granted for obtaining a permit allows you to stay in Denmark but does not give you the right to work.

This, the existing license will allow you to stay in the Schengen area for between 90 and 180 days.

Doctors who intend to immigrate to Denmark must first learn the language of the country

Applicants take the medical entrance exam in Denmark.

Applicants must provide a fixed address of where they live.

Applicants must be over the age of 18.

Dentists migrate to Denmark
Dentists can immigrate to Denmark in two ways: education and work. If the course of study is chosen for the migration of dentists to Denmark, they must receive admission from a university to continue their studies, and if the migration of dentists to Denmark is chosen, the course of work must be equalized at the beginning. The applicant can bring with him or herself when equalizing his or her dental qualifications. Children under the age of 18 have a free education permit and the applicant's spouse has a full-time work permit. During the migration of dentists to Denmark at the equalization stage, the applicant will not be allowed to work, but in a situation where the applicant has a valid and suitable job offer, he can work. The important thing is that you do not need to provide a Danish language qualification. The applicant can take Danish language classes in the country after arriving in Denmark. The duration of these courses is 3 years.

Nursing immigration to Denmark
Nurses are from certain groups with special conditions for immigration to Denmark. In most countries, you have to have a job offer to get a work permit, while an Iranian nurse has to equalize her degree to work abroad, so it is not possible for nurses to be able to directly get a job offer and work permit. Most countries do not give visas to nurses for equalization, but Denmark is one of the few countries that has special conditions for this particular group. Due to the country's need for a nurse workforce, the conditions for granting visas to this group of people have been facilitated. Nurses can obtain a nursing visa in Denmark to take a Danish language course and equalize their degree, and after learning Danish, they can work in the country by passing the equalisation test. 

Documents required for immigration to Denmark
Immigration to Denmark as a traveler, worker, or permanent immigrant may require a variety of documents.

Pros and cons of immigration to Denmark
Denmark is a diverse country, surrounded by neighboring Germany from the south, and by swinging waves from the North and the Baltic seas from the North. The sharp sea breeze gives Copenhagen an attraction for tourists and residents. If you are planning to emigrate to Denmark, you are subject to a culture shock. Below is a portion of the pros and cons of living in post-emigration Denmark.

Benefits of immigration to Denmark

Location

One of the most important benefits of living in Denmark is its location. Denmark's location is such that you can easily travel to neighboring countries. You can also take advantage of the pristine nature and its excellent climate.

Proper public transport

Denmark is a small country, but its government is investing heavily to maintain its strong public transport sector. In Denmark, all major settlements are connected via their train system. You can go from the German border to Copenhagen without having to replace the train. On shorter trips, trains can be more efficient than cars or airplanes. Denmark also has a significant number of metro lines, especially around major cities such as Copenhagen. The Copenhagen Metro serves more than 450,000 passengers every day.

Bicycles everywhere.

People in Copenhagen may not have as many bicycles as the Dutch, but they have a lot of infrastructure for bicycles. More than 220 miles of Copenhagen make up the cycle route. The lines have a concrete edge to protect cyclists from other vehicles on the road. Apart from its bike lanes, Copenhagen has invested in bike lanes for green spaces, including parks and along some canals. In addition to Copenhagen other cities such as Aarhus and Odense have followed Copenhagen and are now building their own bike lanes.

Work-life balance

Danish people work 37.5 hours a week. Although this is almost like an American workweek, when you think about it over the course of a year, you realize how much more time you have for your interests. A Danish person works an average of 130 hours less than an average American. In addition, Denmark offers maternal and paternal leave if you have a new child. Employers are also obliged to give their employees five weeks of paid leave each year.

Affordable, fast and easy healthcare

Danish health care is one of the things that speaks to other European countries and the world. In Denmark they not only have some of the most innovative methods around the world but also offer them to their residents at a very affordable rate. The Danish government funds its health care system through taxes from your paycheck.

Affordable child care

Fortunately, the Danish government pays subsidies to childcare so that parents don't have to choose between paying a salary and taking good care of their children. There are childcare centers in Denmark. These childcare centers are not only a great place for working parents, but also help socialize children before they enter school. Most kindergartens also offer basic education, including lessons in Danish.

Safety

It may seem a bit odd to say that random crimes don't happen in Denmark, but the statistics confirm it. Denmark has a lower crime rate in all respects. Security in this country is very high and you can safely travel to Denmark.

Equality for all

Denmark is working to create an equal society. The country ranks among leaders not only in women's empowerment, civil rights and disability, but also for the working class. Denmark's emphasis on the working class has helped create a society where no one is left behind and everyone has the chance to give their children a better life. One of the reasons the Danish government provides many services to its citizens is to create a sense of equality among its inhabitants. Low-cost kindergarten, high union formation rates and free on-site access to health care, all help low-income workers to improve their conditions.

Part of the European Union

One of the best aspects of living in Denmark is that it is part of the European Union (EU). The EU offers many benefits to its member states. Apart from the Schengen Treaty, which enables easy travel, EU membership also gives countries a safer environment.

Disadvantages of immigration to Denmark
Learning Danish

Perhaps the hardest part of moving to Denmark is learning Danish. For English speakers, learning Danish is as easy as German or French. These languages are usually categorized as Level 1 languages for English speakers, as they have similar origins. Although some people may learn Danish quickly, it may take time for others. When moving to Denmark you need to learn Danish because a large proportion of people do not speak English. In areas such as Copenhagen you can cope with English, but when you leave large cities, English proficiency drops dramatically.

Dark and rainy winters

If you live in Seattle or along the Alaska Panhandle, you will find out what winter is like in Denmark. Cold, wet and dark is the best way to describe winter in Denmark. The average temperature in Copenhagen in January is about 32 degrees Fahrenheit with an average rainfall of 1.47 inches per month. Cold and rain combine to create a heartbreaking winter. On average, Copenhagen experiences more than 170 days of rain each year.

The cost of living is expensive

Denmark is not a cheap place to live. In fact, the country recently ranked as the fifth most expensive place to live in the whole world.
