Continue reading for information about getting a job, bank accounts, health insurance, and visas as an Afghan national. 

Legal requirements

You need a Schengen Card to enter the country if you’re an Afghan resident. If you have a Schengen visa, you can move to any Schengen nation for leisure, business, or educational purposes. Additionally, you have the choice of solitary, double, or numerous entries. The document may be valid for one, three, or five years. However, it mostly depends on the government representative who reviews the request. 

The prerequisites for obtaining a Schengen visa for Afghan nationals seeking immigration are as follows:

Application form

The application form is available at the Danish consulate in Afghanistan. Fill out the paperwork completed, and be honest while responding to the questions. Any fabrication or false information in your application could result in the petition being denied.

Passport

Present a legitimate passport and recently taken passport photos to the authorities. Your passport must be active for at least three months after your flight departs from the country.

Bank statements 

To prove you have the necessary funds for the trip, you just show the official agent your income accounts. This must be provided along with information about your daily earnings, credit history, and other banking activities.

Insurance 

Anyone planning to travel to Denmark must be covered by an insurance policy. Their medical costs and any other issues that arise during their vacation must be reimbursed by the coverage.

Accommodation plan

Your lodging arrangement inside the nation will also be requested by the consulate. Whether you want to stay with a friend or relative, or in a hotel. If you intend to stay in a hotel, you must present documentation of your reservation. The authorities will require a written response from your sponsor if you intend to live with friends or family.

Work in Denmark 

A working visa must be requested to work there. The permit is only issued if you have a job lined up in Denmark. It’s crucial to understand that speaking Danish is a requirement if you wish to work in Denmark on a full-time basis. 40% of the nation’s occupations are given by the administration, and all of them require proficiency in Danish. 

Since the majority of Danes are also competent in English, speaking it well won’t make you stand out, but in metropolitan areas, your chances of finding English-speaking work are higher. Technical and IT jobs are the best places to look for employment if you don’t speak Danish. 

The typical monthly gross pay here is approximately 45,000 DKK. However, please remember that Danish personal taxes are rather high. The modest tax rate which includes labor market levy can ascend to 56.5%. 

Study in Denmark

Denmark is one of the most sought-after study-abroad locations in Europe because of its affordable tuition, top-notch English-taught Graduate degrees, and creative teaching techniques. Denmark is a popular destination for Afghan students because of the high level of living and the broad range of study options offered by Danish institutions.

To learn in Denmark, Afghan students require a residency status. They have to submit a cost of 255 EUR, and the waiting period is about 2 months. You must apply for University and get enrolled to have your study visa approved. Next show the embassy the admittance letter from the university as proof. To get accepted, you must also demonstrate your financial stability and prior educational experience.
