If you are a B-wage earner, you must take out a parental insurance policy to qualify for parental benefits

You are a B-wage earner, for example, if your employer is foreign. The insurance premium is 3,000 DKK, annually, and you must have been covered for at least one year before you can receive any payments.

In addition, you must:

• live in the Faroe Islands,
• have full tax liability in the Faroe Islands.

You may take out the insurance the day you start working as a B-wage earner, and you could be covered, at the earliest, from the day Barsilsskipanin receives your application.
