What is Danish Green Card Scheme?

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

The United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Denmark welcome skilled professionals against Points based immigration systems. Denmark Green card holders get a three-year residence permit for the purpose of seeking work, and subsequently living and working, in Denmark. A residence and work permit under the Green card scheme is issued on the basis of an individual evaluation using an immigration point system designed to assess the likelihood that the applicant will be able to find qualified work in Denmark. Points are given for educational level, language skills, work experience, adaptability, and age. Program offers bonus points to the immigrant applicants who have worked in EU or have earned European educational qualification. Only applicants whose occupations are in shortage in Denmark and are mentioned in the positive list can apply for Danish Green Card.

Driving tips in Denmark

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

Denmark’s roads are among the world’s best; they’re of extremely high quality, well ordered, well-signposted and largely free to travel on. You will rarely encounter long tailbacks, even in the larger cities, with the exception of Copenhagen during rush hour, and should have little trouble finding even out-of-the-way destinations. Danish road rules Drivers must be at least 18 years and always be carrying their full, valid license and insurance documents with them in the car. Rental documents, international driving permits, passports – or ID cards – for tourists will suffice. The Danes drive on the right and seatbelts are mandatory for all passengers.

Tourists bringing their own cars into Denmark need to be aware of certain requirements. Drivers must carry a red warning triangle in case the car breaks down, have the letters of their country of residence on the rear of the car, or the new-type Euro plates, and right-hand drive cars need to have headlamp deflectors fitted. Danish traffic police are very strict and on-the-spot fines for most motoring offences are common. This especially applies to speeding motorists, where radar traps are frequently used to catch people out and hefty fines implemented. Drink drivers are also harshly dealt with – the maximum permissible blood/alcohol level is 0.5mg/ml. Danish road network Newcomers to Denmark will be surprised at the high quality of the roads here. Although there are only three main motorways, they cover the essential parts of the country and many secondary roads are as good as motorways. Motorways carry the European numbering system, denoted by the letter ‘E’, with E47 serving Copenhagen, the E20 running west from Copenhagen past Odense and onto the mainland and the E45 running north to south through the mainland.
