Definition
The Fast-Track Scheme is a Danish work route that allows certified employers to bring in certain non-EU workers under accelerated or more flexible procedures. It includes several sub-tracks, such as higher-salary hires, short-term stays, researchers, and educational trainees. The scheme matters because employer certification is central to access, so the route is as much about the sponsor's status as it is about the worker's profile.
