Does Denmark have a digital nomad visa?

AI Answer
Denmark does not currently offer a dedicated digital nomad visa. Remote workers typically use tourist visas, freelancer permits, or other residency pathways depending on their situation and nationality. Most non-EU citizens can enter Denmark as a tourist for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. This allows you to explore the country and work remotely for your foreign employer, but it's not a long-term solution. Overstaying is not an option. For longer stays, the "Establishment Card" for self-employed individuals is the closest option, but it's not designed for digital nomads. You need to demonstrate a viable business plan and enough capital to support yourself. Denmark's high cost of living means this requires significant funds. For example, a single person's monthly expenses in Copenhagen can easily exceed DKK 15,000 (around $2,200 USD) before rent. While Denmark boasts a high quality of life (often ranking top 5 globally for happiness) and excellent infrastructure, its tax system is progressive. Income tax rates can reach over 50% for high earners, and the cost of living is among the highest in Europe. Consider these factors carefully if you plan to move here long-term.
