I have a Danish startup visa and happy to answer questions.

It’s a pretty easy process if you qualify, and isn’t a visa, you are immediately recognized. There are some gotchas.

Why is that surprising? The UK has had huge immigration numbers for decades and a centrist/centre-right government that is (mildly) interested in simplifying government procedures.
