From July 1, 2024, Denmark’s new rules regarding permanent residence permit and family reunification of spouses will become effective.
The Danish parliament passed the bill regarding permanent residence permit and family reunification on May 30, 2024.
- The requirement that applicants may not have been convicted of certain crimes is tightened, so that also a charge or indictment of certain crimes in the future will prevent applicants from obtaining a permanent residence.
- The same applies to the transferred requirements for permanent residence, which must be met, on application for family reunification of spouses if the spouse in Denmark is a foreign national but not a refugee.
The new rule applies to applications for permanent residence permit and certain applications for family reunification of spouses submitted from and including 11 April 2024.
