Advice on Green Card Changes

Denmark's immigration policy uses a points based system called the Danish Green Card to attract skilled individuals from outside the EU. The Danish Green Card allows skilled individuals to obtain a residence permit based solely on their qualifications for the purpose of finding work in Denmark. The residence permit is granted after a successful evaluation based on a point based system, which scores applicants on factors such as age, educational level, language skills, and work experience. You must obtain 100 points to pass.
In connection with your university some students with a specific education will be able to obtain a Danish Green card when they have just finished their masters.
The Green Card point system is as follows:

Education:
In general an Indian 2 year master will result in 50 points.

Field of study:
If your field of study clearly meets a declared subject on the “positive list” then you will have 10 extra points. Please see the link below.
http://www.nyidanmark.dk/en-us/coming_to_dk/work/positivelist/positive_list_overview.htm

Some of the subjects are:
- Building engineer
Requirement: Master's degree

 Top 400: 5 points
 Top 200: 10 points
 Top 100: 15 points
Indian universities listed in THES-QS World Ranking:
No.  University                                            Ranking

Language skills:
If you studied in English and can prove it, or you have passed an IELTS test with an overall band score of 6.5 or higher, you will be able to claim 20 points.

Age:
If you are 34 years or younger, you will have 15 points.
The above mentioned areas alone will result in a total of 100 points = 50+10+5+20+15.
You are also able to obtain points in other areas, such as:


Adaptation:
If you have been living or working in an EU/EEA country or Switzerland you can also have points for this. For example, completion of a least one year’s study at a higher educational program in an EU/EEA country or Switzerland will give you an additional 5 points. There are also other ways to obtain points for adaptation. Please follow the link below:
http://www.nyidanmark.dk/en-us/coming_to_dk/work/greencard-scheme/greencard-scheme.htm


WORK EXPERIENCE:
You can claim points for work experience according to how many years, within the last five years, you have worked as a researcher or in a field where Denmark is currently experiencing a shortage of qualified professionals. These fields and specific job titles are available on the positive list. Other areas within the ‘work experience’ field where you can claim points are listed below:
1-2 years within the past five years as a researcher/in field listed on the Positive List: 10 points
3-5 years within the past five years as a researcher/in field listed on the Positive List: 15 points
Again it must be obvious that a major part of you every day job is on the Positive list.
3-5 years within the past five years, other work: 5 points

How to apply?
If you are applying for a residence and work permit under the greencard scheme, you have to complete the GR1 application form. The application form contains a detailed description of how you should complete the form, and which documents you must attach. Your application should be submitted at the VFS centre nearer to you.

I'm from an European country and I’m working at Algiers and I'm aware that some Algerians are contacting Arab friends already having citizenship in Denmark to try their chance. Some are using strategies like getting married with other Arabs who are legalized in Denmark to make their move. Algerian women are more attracted to do so as they wish to escape their country and they can easily find Denmark residents from Arab origin in internet that they can married. Afterwards they have brothers and sisters who will try to follow them once their relatives could get a Danish citizenship by marriage.
The new Danish measure to control frontiers should be an example to be followed by all European countries, but this should be also followed by a close control of visit visas as most of these will try all means to get into Denmark or to other Scandinavian countries. The European invasion by the Arab world and specially by the north African Arab citizens is going to be spread and they are looking now for countries other then France and Germany because they expect, specially the Algerians, they will have better chances.
