Going for a job interview abroad? Learn more about the rules here.

If you are an unemployment benefit recipient who has applied for a job abroad and been interviewed, you can be away from Denmark for up to five days without it affecting your unemployment benefits.

However, you should be aware of documenting the process if you are going for a job interview abroad:

  • You can be away for up to five days, with the day of departure counting as day one of the five.
  • Before you leave, the unemployment insurance fund must be notified in writing of the days you are leaving. You must also be able to document the time and place of your job interview.
  • You should also remember to notify the job center before you leave.
  • You must be able to document the date of your return - for example, a copy of your flight ticket or a copy of refueling/shopping on this side of the border.
