Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

Yes, the applicant must have received a specific offer concerning an employment for adaption and training purposes. The employer relationship is important because the offer is a condition for applying.

What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

A residence permit to obtain Danish authorisation gives the right to work, and the holder does not need to apply for a work permit on getting a job; it does not allow work in other Schengen countries. Family may accompany: a permit can be granted to a spouse, registered or cohabiting partner and children under 18 living at home.

How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?

For specifically requested healthcare professionals who are doctors or dentists, a residence permit can be granted for 4 years. For other professions, it can be granted for 3 years. The permit can be extended if it was granted for a shorter period than the maximum (4 years for doctors/dentists, 3 years for others), but as a general rule it cannot be extended beyond those totals. No longer-term residence direction is stated.
