How long is a Pay Limit Scheme permit valid and what happens at extension?

The duration is matched to your employment. Long contracts get up to a four-year permit, while shorter contracts get a permit covering the job plus a short job-seeking buffer at the end.

To extend, you apply before the current permit expires, and you should make sure you still meet the salary and Danish-standards conditions - including the requirement that your salary is paid into a Danish bank account. Your passport must also remain valid, since the permit cannot extend past it.
