On September 14, 2026, the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) launched a digital version of application form MF4. This can be used to apply for a residence permit as accompanying family of a person who has been granted permanent residence in connection with work or study.
Applicants can use MF4 to apply for an initial residence permit as accompanying family of a person who has been granted a permanent residence permit on the basis of work or study in Denmark, provided that the person either continues to meet the conditions for an extension of the residence permit they had when they were granted permanent residence or has a job that would qualify them for a residence permit under one of the applicable work schemes.
Applicants can also use MF4 to apply for an extension of their current residence permit as accompanying family of a person who has been granted a permanent residence permit or Danish citizenship on the basis of work or study.
The digital MF4, which looks different from the printable version, also gives access to a platform where applicants can log in and see all of their ongoing applications, as well as their completed applications for up to 30 days after submitting them.
For a certain period of time, it will still be possible to submit the printable MF4 either physically or via a contact form. However, from October 14, 2026, users must use the digital MF4, and SIRI will, as a rule, reject the printable MF4.
From October 14, 2026, applicants will also no longer be able to use the applications MF1 and MF2 to apply for a residence permit as accompanying family to a person who has been granted a permanent residence permit or Danish citizenship on the basis of work or study. Instead, they must use the digital MF4.
