On this page we have gathered a few links to help guide you towards the right sources to apply for your authorisations and permits as a medical professional in Denmark.
In Region Zealand, we provide many of our candidates with both guidance and hands on assistance, provided you are joining us through our recruitment program.
The links are divided up between EU and Non-EU as there are significant differences between the process depending on your country of origin.
We hope you find the information useful.
Authorisation - EU
EU/EØS member states have entered into an agreement that makes the application for medical authorisation more streamlined. As such, simply follow the guidelines stated in the link below and choose EU Member. Region Zealand covers the cost of application if you are part of our recruitment program.

Authorisation - Non-EU
Unlike applicants from inside the EU, the process for applying for your medical authorisation when coming from outside the EU can be much more involved. This is mainly due to requirements regarding language and evaluations. For more information, follow the link below and choose Non-EU Countries.
