Denmark is a developed industrialized country. Denmark is a member of the European Union. The population stands at 5,505,995 and 85% of the population lives in towns. Denmark is a democratic country with a number of liberties guaranteed by the law. The form of government is a parliamentary democracy with a royal head of state.

Denmark is becoming one of the most popular destinations for immigrants from all over the world and tops the choice of many immigrants worldwide. Denmark is a very peaceful nation and international studies showed that it is the happiest nation of the world.

A major chunk of the Denmark's workforce is on the verge of retirement, the country has lots of demand for skilled workers, particularly for healthcare workers, IT professionals, civil engineers, communication officials and a lot of others. Therefore, better work opportunities are in store when you immigrate to Denmark. The country also boasts of one of the highest Gross Domestic Product figures in the world.

Like the other Scandinavian countries, Denmark is a small, highly developed nation based on cultural homogeneity and social trust. Over the last six centuries, Denmark has experienced continuous immigration of groups and individuals into the country. 

Immigration today in Denmark consists particularly of asylum seekers, immigrants from non-western countries and persons who arrive as family dependents. In addition, Denmark annually receives a number of citizens from Western countries, notably Scandinavian countries, the EU, and North America, who usually come to work or study for a limited period of time.

The tendency has been for an increasingly smaller portion of immigrants to come from Western countries. This is because the inflow from the non-Western world has grown steadily and because far more Westerners than non-Westerners return to their country of origin.

Citizenship in Denmark is based on the principle of ethnic descent. Danish law does not allow for multiple citizenship, and the acquisition of citizenship by foreigners through naturalization has traditionally politically supervised process that passes through the Danish Parliament, olketinget, on a yearly basis.

It takes a minimum of nine years' continuous residence on Danish soil, full-time work, proper housing conditions, a clean criminal record, fluency in Danish, and economic self-sufficiency, among other criteria, to obtain a Danish passport. Permanent residence, where immigrants must meet many of the same requirements, can be achieved in seven years.
