The Danish Immigration Service has now extended the residence permits which were granted under the Ukraine-Special Act. The validity has been extended until March 17, 2025.
- On November 3, 2023, the Minister of Immigration and Integration decided that residence permits which were issued under the act on temporary residence permits granted to people who have been displaced from Ukraine (hereinafter the Special Act) could be extended until March 17, 2025.
- The Danish Immigration Service initiated a review of all residence permits which were issued under the Special Act until November 3, 2023, and which were otherwise set to expire on March 17, 2024. If the requirements were met, the residence permits have been extended until March 17, 2025.
- Residence permits under the special act, which were granted in the period from November 3, 2023, to March 17, 2024, have at the same time been extended, so that they are valid until March 17, 2025.
In a small number of cases, the Danish Immigration Service attempted, without success, to contact individuals who were granted a residence permit under the Special Act before November 3, 2023. In these cases, the Danish Immigration Service was unable to extend the residence permits because necessary information was not available. As a result, these permits will expire on March 17, 2024. Those individuals who could not be contacted are requested to submit a new application for a residence permit under the Special Act, if they still wish to retain a residence permit in Denmark based on the Special Act.
