About

Start-up Denmark is a scheme for foreign entrepreneurs giving you the opportunity to be granted a Danish residence permit in order to establish and run an innovative growth company.

Your business idea must be approved by a panel of experts appointed by the Danish Business Authority before Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) can process your application for a residence and work permit based on the scheme. Work and residence permits are granted for a period of 2 years and can be extended, 3 years at a time.

The scheme can be used by both individuals and teams of up to 3 people who want to start a business together in Denmark through a joined business plan.
