Danish Immigration Requires More Applications to be filed Online

Effective June 1, 2023, the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) has made it mandatory to use an online application form when submitting several more types of applications.

The additional application types now requiring an online application are:

  • Application for residence and work permit on grounds of salaried work (AR1 online)
  • Application for a residence and work permit as a PhD student (PHD1 online)
  • Application for a residence and work permit as a family member of a foreign national who is to work or study in Denmark (MF1 online)
  • Application for a residence and work permit as an intern (PR1/3 online) – except for commuters
  • Application for a residence and work permit as a volunteer or in order to obtain a Danish authorization as a doctor, dentist or nurse (XG1 online)
  • Application for dispensation to prevent a residence permit from lapsing (BF1/2 online).

If the relevant online application is not submitted, SIRI can reject the application. There are some exceptions for special circumstances, such as illness, disability or lack of digital skills.
