Authorisation

In Denmark, some professions are regulated by law, e.g. lawyer, authorised psychologist, financial advisor, dentist, and doctor. If you want to work in Denmark within a regulated profession you must apply for a Danish authorisation or similar official approval. The conditions and rules depend on the Danish legislation for the individual profession. 

You can see a list of the professions that are regulated by law on the Ministry of Higher Education and Science's website

If you have been trained as a medical doctor, a dentist or a nurse in a country other than Denmark, you can apply for a residence permit in Denmark which makes it possible for you to learn Danish, pass the professional tests etc. that are necessary in order to obtain a Danish authorisation.

If the Danish Patient Safety Authority has assessed that you are covered by the authorisation process for specifically requested healthcare professionals, you are allowed to also apply for a residence permit in Denmark.
