Remote work during Procedural Residence period?

Hi,

Having stayed a few months in Denmark for a project, you don't risk anything. What you are prohibited from doing is work on Danish territory. No one prohibits you from doing work abroad. Anyway, even if someone were to complain, you have the argument that you cannot stop your activities overnight. And then you have the right to make a living.

I can only recommend you to ask Siri as I always do regarding questions where a  wrong answer may have consequenses.

Actually, they encourage you to ask them if you have any questions to the rules.

I am afraid that this argument won't hold water.

Hi, rosensara. I'm American and I'm about to move to DK with my Danish husband, and I'm wondering the same thing. Did you ever get a clear answer?

@hollymcw Hi Holly, I've just talked to SIRI today and found that while you are on procedural stay in Denmark it is completely allowed to have a remote job that is based in your home country (in this case America). Meaning while you're in Denmark you cannot leave while waiting for the answer to your application, but you may work your remote job from home in Denmark (eg. customer service job in America that allows you to fully work from home). Again, like it says on the SIRI website, you cannot work under a Danish company directly or indirectly but any remote work from your home country is completely okay.
