Fast-track scheme
What does it mean?
The Fast-track scheme (fast track-ordningen) is a SIRI work scheme where companies certified by the authorities can recruit employees from countries outside the EU/EEA with a simpler process.
The advantage is that the company can document a number of things itself, and the employee can often start sooner. The scheme has several tracks with different requirements, for example for salary, education or researcher status.
It is the company that must be certified — not you. So ask the employer whether they use the Fast-track scheme. Large companies and universities often do.
You find the current tracks, requirements and the list of certified companies on nyidanmark.dk.
