Updated income statistics applicable to applications submitted from 1 January

SIRI uses income statistics made by The Confederation of Danish Employers (DA) in the case processing of applications to assess whether an offered salary corresponds to Danish standards.

An updated version of the income statistics with information from the third quarter of 2023 is now available and applies to applications submitted from 1 January 2024. We expect to update the income statistics each quarter, so the next update will be on 1 April 2024.

What does the change mean for you as an applicant?

If you apply for a residence and work permit after 31 December 2023, your application will be evaluated according to the income statistics from the third quarter of 2023. 

If you have applied between 1 October and 31 December 2023, your application will be evaluated according to the income statistics from the second quarter of 2023. 

Where can I find the updated income statistics that applies from 1 January 2024?

You can find the updated income statistics on the Words and concepts page Danish standards for salary
