The Danish Migration Service has developed a visa category for Non-EU nationals as work and residence permit, under the category of “Herdsmen and farm managers”. These regulations allow experienced professionals from Non-EU countries to work in Denmark with extension possibilities for their visas.

As a result, it is crucial for companies to plan ahead and account for this waiting period when organizing their recruitment process.
