Denmark has introduced a new exemption allowing foreign workers to operate without a work permit for up to 10 days during major international business events, easing administrative hurdles for global organizers.
Under the new regulation, foreign nationals employed by companies outside Denmark may temporarily work as part of international event teams. The initiative supports Denmark’s ambition to become a leading destination for global conferences, exhibitions, and large-scale corporate gatherings.
The exemption applies to professionals such as event managers, planners, technicians, communications experts, and other essential support staff involved in event preparation, execution, and dismantling.
