Salary or terms don't match Greenlandic standards
Your salary and terms of employment must correspond to Greenlandic standards, an offer that doesn't meet this doesn't qualify.

Can't support yourself without public benefits
You must be able to support yourself and your family during your stay, you're not allowed to receive public benefits.
How to avoid it: Make sure your employment income is enough to support yourself (and any family joining you) without relying on public benefits.
Missing municipal permit or explanation
If the role requires a municipal permit and it isn't included, or there's no documentation explaining why one isn't needed, the application doesn't meet the checklist.
How to avoid it: Check with your employer whether the position needs a municipal permit, and include it or the exemption explanation.
