Recruit Filipino Skilled Workers for Denmark

Fil-Expat helps Danish employers assess Filipino candidates for eligible skilled and professional roles. Denmark uses specific work permit schemes and occupation lists. The job must fit a valid immigration route before recruitment moves forward.

Hiring Filipino Workers for Denmark

Two common routes are the Positive List for People with a Higher Education and the Positive List for Skilled Work. The lists are updated regularly. Salary and employment terms must also meet Danish standards.

Core Work and Migration Requirements
  • The job must qualify under a valid Danish work permit scheme. Positive List roles must appear on the current list at the time of application.
  • The worker needs a written employment contract or job offer with the required job and employment details.
  • Salary and employment terms must meet Danish standards for the occupation. Danish wage statistics can be used in the assessment.
  • Professional authorization is separate from the immigration permit for regulated roles.
  • Healthcare professionals must obtain authorization from the responsible Danish health authority before working under a protected professional title.
  • Important 2026 nursing rule: Denmark has a zero quota for most nurse authorization applications from outside the European Union and European Economic Area until 31 December 2026. Limited exemptions apply, including specially requested healthcare professionals with a qualifying adaptation and training offer.
  • For eligible third-country nurses, the authorization route can include qualification assessment, the Danish 3 language examination, and supervised adaptation and training employment.
Qualification and Professional Requirements

Denmark requires a market-by-market decision. Fil-Expat should not recruit a nurse for Denmark without checking the current nurse authorization quota and exemption rules. For other skilled occupations, we verify that the job is eligible under the current permit route and that the worker has the required vocational or professional background.

Philippine Recruitment and Deployment Requirements

Filipino workers also need the Department of Migrant Workers recruitment and deployment process. Fil-Expat coordinates the employer accreditation, job order, contract, candidate documentation, and pre-departure requirements.
