Big news for Filipino professionals dreaming of a future in Denmark — and for Danish institutions in need of qualified, caring talent.
In a landmark step toward stronger international collaboration, Denmark and the Philippines have officially signed a bilateral labor agreement, focusing on the recruitment of Filipino healthcare workers to Denmark. This deal, finalized in 2024 and set to roll out in 2025 and beyond, marks a significant opportunity not just for governments and employers — but for families, communities, and individuals looking to build a better future.
At ALVIWO, this hits close to home.
We’ve been quietly building a platform that connects international talent with life in Denmark — not just jobs, but homes, local knowledge, and a path to long-term integration. And now, with this government-to-government deal as a foundation, the timing couldn’t be better to reintroduce what we’ve been working on.
What’s in the Denmark–Philippines Deal?
This new agreement aims to create a structured, ethical, and fair pathway for Filipino professionals — starting with healthcare workers — to work and live in Denmark. Here are the key goals:
• Match Denmark’s growing need for skilled professionals (especially in elderly care, nursing, and other healthcare roles)
• Provide safe and transparent recruitment through official channels
• Support workers in their integration into Danish society — from language to housing
• Strengthen long-term bilateral relations between the two countries
The deal is expected to open hundreds — and eventually thousands — of new roles, mostly in Denmark’s municipal and regional health systems. Filipino workers are already known for their skill, compassion, and dedication. This agreement simply puts a system in place to make the process more dignified, structured, and supportive.
Why This Matters (More Than Just Jobs)
For ALVIWO, this is about more than filling vacancies.
We’ve seen how complex and overwhelming it can be to relocate across continents — especially outside of the major cities. That’s why we’ve designed our platform to provide end-to-end support:
• Recruitment and job-matching
• Housing support and local integration
• Language and cultural onboarding
• Family relocation and community-building
This deal between Denmark and the Philippines reflects exactly what we believe in: migration that’s rooted in mutual respect, opportunity, and human connection.
So, What’s Next?
If you’re:
• A Filipino healthcare professional considering work abroad
• A Danish municipality or employer seeking international talent
• A small business looking to support the relocation journey (housing, services, community)
• Or just curious about how this unfolds…
