The Pay Limit scheme and the Supplementary Pay Limit scheme are for persons who have been offered a job in Denmark with a certain minimum annual income (at least DKK 465.000 and DKK 375.000 (2023 level) respectively). For the Supplementary Pay Limit scheme, they must fulfil a number of conditions that do not apply to the ordinary pay limit scheme, such as a labour market test. The first permit issued can be for a period of up to 4 years and is valid usually for the period of employment.
