Advance statement from sports federation
In order to process an application for a residence and work permit as an athlete or coach, SIRI normally requires a statement from the relevant governing body of your sport.
The governing body must state if there are specific athletic reasons that the job as athlete or coach in that particular sports club must be carried out by the applicant.
In addition, the governing body must state whether the salary and terms of employment correspond to Danish standards.
A sports club wishing to employ an athlete or coach can obtain a statement from the relevant governing body in advance by asking the governing body to complete the advance statement form.
In this way the sports club can contribute to an application being processed quicker.
The form can be found here (in Danish only)
The form must be submitted along with the athlete’s application and contract.
