The new changes have been announced through a statement provided by the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI), EU Helpers reports.
Persons who play or coach sport professionally can stay in Denmark for up to 90 days without being obliged to apply for a work permit at first.
Through a statement, SIRI announced that associated personnel, which means personnel accompanying athletes as well as coaches during their period of stay in Denmark, including a masseur, a chef and a team leader, may also be excluded from work permit requirements.
SIRI said that the assessment will take into account the needs of the individual sporting event in order to ensure that practice follows natural developments in the field of professional sport in Denmark.
Authorities in Denmark said that following the new changes, other types of sporting events, such as e-sports events, will be treated the same as other sporting events.
The new changes were introduced on September 1.
New Residence & Work Permit Changes From September 1
In August this year, Denmark authorities announced that starting in September, foreigners who want to reach the country for work purposes would be required to report their salary first.
SIRI said that internationals planning to apply for work permits for employment in the country will have to report their salary in Danish krone (DKK).
The agency emphasised that it will not accept salary declarations in foreign currency.
The rule to prove that salary corresponds to Denmark’s standards applies to both first-time applicants as well as those applying for an extension of their permit.
