Updated income statistics applicable to applications submitted from 1 October 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 second quarter of 2026 is now available. It applies to applications submitted from 1 October 2026.

We update the income statistics each quarter, and we expect the next update will apply from 1 January 2027.

What does this mean for you as an applicant?

If you apply for a residence and work permit after 30 September 2026, we will evaluate your application according to the income statistics from the second quarter of 2026. If you applied between 1 July and 30 September 2026, we will evaluate your application according to the income statistics from the first quarter of 2026.
