Questions and answers
- Can I get a job in Denmark without speaking Danish?
- Yes, especially in IT, research, engineering and at international companies where English is the working language. In many other fields, such as healthcare, customer service and the public sector, Danish is required. Learning Danish alongside work gives you more options and makes it easier to settle in.
- Does a posting in English mean the working language is English?
- Often, but not always. Some companies write in English to reach more candidates but still expect Danish. Read the requirements in the posting and ask at the interview if it is unclear.
- Do I need a work permit?
- It depends on your citizenship. Citizens of the EU/EEA, Switzerland and the Nordic countries can work in Denmark without a work permit. Others usually need a permit from SIRI before they start. Read the work permit guide or ask Lena, our free AI advisor.
- How do I apply for a Danish job in English?
- Keep the application short and concrete and explain why you want to work for that company. Danish employers value motivation and collaboration. A CV of one to two pages with results works best.
