Updated income statistics applicable to applications submitted from 1 January 2026

SIRI uses income statistics made by the Confederation of Danish Employers (DA) when we process cases to assess whether an offered salary corresponds to Danish standards.

An updated version of the income statistics with information from the third quarter of 2025 is now available and applies to applications submitted from 1 January 2026. We update the income statistics each quarter, and we expect the next update will apply from 1 April 2026.

What does this mean for you as an applicant?

If you apply for a residence and work permit after 31 December 2025, we will evaluate your application according to the income statistics from the third quarter of 2025. If you applied between 1 October and 31 December 2025, we will evaluate your application according to the income statistics from the second quarter of 2025.
