Is your company up to date on the process of employing foreign labour?

Non-Nordic citizens must have a work- and residence permit to work in Greenland. However, exceptions apply under certain conditions – for example in relation to raw material activities.

In addition, municipal permission is always required for certain job positions and job postings on www.suli.gl – regardless of whether it is citizens from the Nordic countries or other countries.

The application process, from the right candidate being found to the person being able to start working, can seem long and inflexible, and as an employer there is a lot to keep track of – not least when the permits need to be extended.
