New wage statistics for the Positive List for Skilled Work

SIRI publishes updated wage statistics that apply to the Positive List for Skilled Work from 3 October 2025.

What does SIRI use the wage statistics for?

When SIRI assesses applications on the Positive List for Skilled Work, we use special wage statistics compiled by Statistics Denmark to assess whether an offered wage corresponds to Danish standards.

Currently, SIRI uses wage statistics based on data from Statistics Denmark’s wage register which contains information from Q1 2024. 

Now, the wage statistics have been updated with information from Q2 2025 which will be valid from 3 October 2025.

What does this mean for you as an applicant?

This means that all applications on the Positive List for Skilled Work submitted before 3 October 2025 will be assessed according to the wage statistics from Q1 2024.

From 3 October 2025, SIRI uses the updated wage statistics from Q2 of 2025.

Where can I find the new wage statistics that apply from 3 October 2025?

You can find the wage statistics on the application page for the Positive List for Skilled Work
