A: Yes, you can work for a French company and reside in Denmark, but there are several steps you need to follow to make this possible. First, you must ensure you have the appropriate residence permit for Denmark. Since you are from India, you will need a visa that allows you to live and work in Denmark, such as a work permit or a residence permit based on another valid reason, like family reunification or study.

Next, you need to verify that your employment with the French company complies with both French and Danish labor laws. This includes understanding tax obligations in both countries and ensuring your employment contract aligns with legal requirements. It might be necessary for the French company to register with Danish authorities or for you to register as a self-employed individual in Denmark.

Finally, it's essential to consider the practicalities of working remotely across different countries. Make sure you have a stable internet connection, an understanding of any cultural or time zone differences, and clear communication channels with your employer. Consulting with immigration and tax professionals in both France and Denmark can provide you with tailored advice to ensure compliance with all regulations.
