Denmark: Updating the positive lists for university graduates and specialists

With effect from July 1, 2025, the positive lists for university graduates and skilled workers were updated. The new positive list for university graduates now includes 190 new job titles (compared to 162previously), while the positive list for skilled workers now includes now 65 job titles (compared to 48previously). The most notable new additions to the positive list for university graduates include the following occupational groups: Heads of finance or logistics departments, hardware developers, film, television and animation designers, business intelligence managers, management consultants, information technology engineers and communications officers. The most notable additions to the positive list for skilled workers include the following occupational groups: Blacksmiths, electricity distributors, service technicians and electronics mechanics. Those removed from the list include information technology support, webmasters, secretaries, financial assistants and welders. The positive lists - which are updated twice a year – for shortage occupations that are eligible for a residence and work permit under the positive list program in Denmark. These changes do not affect current holders of positive list permits, who can renew their permits provided they continue to meet the general renewal conditions, even if their job title may have been removed from the positive list in the meantime.

Die Positivlisten - die zweimal im Jahr aktualisiertwerden - führen Mangelberufe auf, die für eine Aufenthalts- und Arbeitsgenehmigung im Rahmen des Positivlistenprogramms in Dänemark in Frage kommen. Diese Änderungen haben keine Auswirkungen auf die derzeitigen Inhaber von Genehmigungen der Positivliste, die ihre Genehmigungen verlängern können, sofern sie weiterhin die allgemeinen Verlängerungsbedingungen erfüllen, auch wenn ihre Berufsbezeichnung möglicherweise zwischenzeitlich von der Positivliste gestrichen wurde.
