Pathways for PR & Requirements

In this, one needs to have a continuous legal residence in Denmark for 8 years under a valid permit and meet the requirements of maintaining the legal title to that permit throughout. Application shall be accepted if the applicant is over 18 years of age at the time of filing. In some instances, certain types of temporary permits or special temporary schemes do not qualify towards these 8 years.

Fast Track of 4 Years

When additional criteria are met, applicants can apply after a mere 4 years of residence under legal status. Such criteria provide higher Danish language proficiency, longer working years, prove active citizenship, and maintain certain income thresholds.

Main Conditions and Requirements

• Work Duration/Employment Time: Working in full-time employment or self-employed for about three-and-a-half in the range of nearly four years during the last recent period that includes the previous four or four-and-a-half years, depending on which route.
• Language: Passing the Danish language “Prove i Dansk 2” at a minimum is required; for fast-track, you need “Prove i Dansk 3” or higher.
• Additional Requirements: Higher levels of taxable income and passing a citizenship/active-citizen test are among other possible requirements, in addition to consistent employment and further indicators of integration.

Fees and Processing Time

• For applicants with a work/study background, the application fee is about DKK 7,110, while lower fees are charged for other categories.
• Processing takes about eight months. Make sure to apply before the expiration of your current residence permit so as to avoid any gaps.
