Your application can normally only be submitted in Denmark, if you hold a residence permit issued by the Danish Foreign Ministry under the terms of Aliens Act section 47 (1). For this reason, you normally need to apply before your current residence permit expires. You can submit your application to the Immigration Service at Citizen Service. If you live outside Greater Copenhagen you can also submit your application at a police station that is capable of recording biometric features.
You can also send your application to the Immigration Service.
Your application can be rejected if it is obvious that you do not meet the requirements. Among the reasons for rejecting an application is if you’re 50 years old when you apply.
