Each field  has its  own  code, and above codes are used by the employers when they report the paid wages for servants and bartenders. A mere statistic purpose.

You can use this calculator to find the average pay for a bartender:


Being a bartender won't open doors.

I'm not specifically looking to open doors based on my initial job there.  I just want to have a job I can somewhat enjoy while I get my bearings.
Unfortunately, I'm not clear on what you said in the beginning of your post.  I still need to know if that's a job that will allow me to get a work permit.

I must admit that I cannot recognize my answer in its present form. 

Being a bartender won't open doors
Did you take a look the pay calculator I linkid to? If so, you see that the average income for a bartender is 19.957 kr. per month.

A bartender's pay will therefore not be enough to meet the pay requirements you find on Newtodenmark (426.985,06 kr. per year).

That's strange.  The way I read it, the 426,985DKK salary requirement was just one possible criterion, whereas having a job on the "Positive List" was an alternative option. Am I missing something?

It is two things. If you can find yourself on the positive list and have a job in hand within these fields, you can apply after this scheme. However, it requires that you have a job offer.

/Nellie

Again (because I'm kinda stupid and need things expressed in very deliberate terms), are you saying I need to fulfill BOTH of those conditions, or just one of them?

Regarding the income requirement of 426,985DKK yearly - as far as I am informed, this amount corresponds to the average salary for an academic bachelor with three years experience.

Most of the listed jobs on the positive list demand a Master's degree, a PhD, or an academic Bachelor's degree. The above income requirement is therefore automatically implied. The exception may be those with a professional Bachelor's degree.

I hope that this explanation has sorted things out.

Then I just have to make sure I'm not reading the positive list incorrectly.  Is "Servants and Bartenders" an acceptable profession?  If so, I plan to take approximately one week to go to a few cities in Denmark, try to get a job offer at a bar/restaurant, get the necessary paperwork, and have everything ready for when my time in the military is over.  However, I need to know I'm not wasting my time.

Look at my former answer about a bartender's income.

It will answer your question.

This is extremely frustrating.  Are you saying that unless I get hired as a bartender making nearly 426,985 DKK per year, then the answer is "no, being a regular old bartender making less than that will not get you a work permit" ?

Hi there. I think what Nellie is trying to say :

First to make things clear You as an individual cannot apply for a Work Permit without a Job Offer whereas the Employer is sponsoring your Permit

The salary requirement only applies to the Pay Scheme Limit, Fast Track and maybe some other schemes.

The positive list scheme does not have any Salary requirements (Except it needs to be higher than the Danish Minimum salary which is not 426,985 DKK)

You are free to find a job as a bartender, make sure your employer is willing or as the ability to sponsor your permit.

good luck !
