Special opening days at SIRI for EU students before the start of the spring term 2020

Are you a student from an EU country? If that is the case the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) offers a number of special opening days in January and February. Here you will be able to submit your application for an EU residence document and in most instances receive the residence document on the same day.

You must use the documents listed below

In order for you to be prepared in the best possible way, we have collected a set of documents to be used when submitting the application for an EU residence document.

The set consists of:

  • A revised application form (OD1) adapted to EU students incl. a declaration of self-support (page 8 of OD1) which must be completed by the student
  • Declaration of study activity to be completed by the educational institution, if the student is not yet in possession of a final letter of acceptance containing the same information
  • Check list in English for the student detailing the documents which must be submitted to SIRI and the application process when appearing at SIRI etc.
  • Overview of special opening days / opening hours in Copenhagen for EU students incl. address and map.

You will find the set of documents on this page

It is very important that you have everything printed and ready when you visit SIRI on the below-mentioned opening days, as there will be no facilities for printing, making foto copies or taking passport photos.

You can instead contact the municipality of residence directly (or International House in Copenhagen) in order to register an address and receive a CPR-number etc.
