Denmark Updates Skilled Work Wage Benchmarks

Denmark's immigration agency, SIRI, has announced updates to the wage benchmarks for skilled workers.

Starting February 1, 2026, they will use new wage data from the third quarter of 2025 to assess applications.

This means that any applications submitted before this date will be evaluated based on the second quarter of 2025 data.

SIRI has also updated income statistics, which will apply to applications from January 1, 2026.

The minimum salary threshold for certain jobs is set at approximately DKK 74,958.

Additionally, Denmark has updated its Positive List for 2026, which includes job titles for highly educated and skilled foreign workers.

The list is updated twice a year and includes 183 job titles for highly educated workers and 57 for skilled workers.
