Nina Tolstrup

intro: #205 Kids' House by Studiomama ... Danish designer Nina Tolstrup is currently based in London and designs products for companies while also taking a pro-active approach designing, manufacturing and selling her own ranges under the Studiomama name ... the kids house was build as an intriguing and playful structure that both could serve as a sleeping space or playhouse ... I think it's not for sale and is for her own kids, but what a great idea, if you ever have space enough...i ithink your kids will always be grateful...!

Spouses, registered partners and cohabiting partners

If your spouse, registered partner or cohabiting partner lives in Denmark, you can apply for a residence permit on the grounds of family reunification.

However, you and your spouse/partner, as well as your relationship, must meet certain requirements.

There are a number of specific requirements relating to your spouse/partner living in Denmark. These requirements primarily concern the reasons for his or her residence in Denmark and his or her ability to support him/herself and you.

Requirements relating to you and your spouse/partner

You must both be over the age of 24.
You must live together at the same address in Denmark when your residence permit is granted.
Your combined attachment to Denmark must be greater than your combined attachment to any other country. Read more about the attachment requirement.

Requirements relating to your spouse/partner in Denmark

Your spouse/partner in Denmark must:

be a Danish citizen or a citizen of one of the other Nordic countries YOU ARE!
must reside permanently in Denmark. YOU DO!

must have accommodation of adequate size at his or her disposal.

must be able to support him/herself and you. In most cases, this requirement will be met if your spouse/partner has not received public assistance under the terms of the Active Social Policy Act (lov om aktiv socialpolitik) or the Integration Act (integrationsloven) for at least 12 months prior to the application being processed by the Immigration Service.

Pernille this is where we will have to make a change and stop excepting government funding/Help. Your student loans do not count just unemployment assistance and we will have to wait one year because of that, too bad. The other big one is that we have to give Denmark 58,200 DKK so i guess i better start saving.

must post DKK 58,207 (2008 level) in bank-backed collateral to cover any public assistance paid to you by your municipality after you relocate to Denmark. Read more about the collateral requirement.
must not have been convicted of violent acts against a former spouse/partner within a period of 10 years prior to your application being processed.

Free and development-focused working conditions in a relaxed and participatory environment

Long-term employment, internships, short-term summer programs, au-pair programs and voluntary work camps in Scandinavia

LONG-TERM EMPLOYMENT

With the exception of those having unique, highly sought-after skills, it is difficult for foreigners to secure long-term employment in Scandinavia. As is true in all countries, Scandinavian governments seek to protect the employment opportunities of their citizens, and therefore limit the work possibilities open to foreign citizens.

If you are a member of a professional organization, you might contact the organization's headquarters for the address of the counterpart organization in the country in which you are interested. Professional organizations may be aware of the prerequisites and opportunities for employment in foreign countries, or can provide you with useful suggestions on where to obtain this information.

Although a number of U.S. firms have offices in Scandinavia, recruitment is usually made from among the firm's experienced staff overseas. For a listing of U.S. firms with offices abroad, you can consult:

Directory of American Firms Operating in Foreign Countries, $89.00 for a survey of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Available from UNIWorld Business Publications, Tel: (508) 376-6006 E-mail: order@uniworldbp.com

WORK PERMITS
It is necessary for you to apply for a work permit before you leave the U.S., and before you can apply for a work permit, you must have written confirmation of a job. Work permits are issued by the Embassy or a Consulate General of the country in question; the length of time required to obtain a work permit varies, and permits are not automatically granted. You are thus advised to check into procedures well in advance of your date of departure. For information, contact the appropriate Embassy:

The Royal Danish Embassy, 3200 Whitehaven Street N.W., Wash. D.C. 20008; Tel: (202) 234-4300 Fax: (202) 328-1470

Vi leder efter en talentfuld industriel designer. Du tænker smukt, stort, du kan alle de der ting som man forventer, og du har ikke noget imod at arbejde med medicinsk udstyr den ene dag og nogle af de mest markante møbelfirmaer den næste. Kort sagt, så er både dine kompetencer og din faglighed meget bred.

12. april 2008

Som projektleder skal du være initiativrig og top notch i et kreativt miljø hvor du kommer til at arbejde med salg og projektledelse inden for grafik, produkt og digital design. Du skal tænke på tværs og tænke stort.
