Extension of residence permit under Ukraine-Special Act

The Minister for Immigration and Integration has decided that residence permits granted under the act on temporary residence permits for people who were displaced from Ukraine can be extended until 17 March 2025.

If you have a residence permit under the act on temporary residence permits granted to people who were displaced from Ukraine (hereinafter the Special Act), it means that you can have your residence permit in Denmark extended until 17 March 2025.

You, personally, do not have to do anything

The Immigration Service will automatically assess whether your residence permit under the Special Act can be extended. If you still comply with the requirements laid down in your current residence permit, we will automatically extend your residence permit. Therefore, you, personally, do not have to apply for an extension of your residence permit.

When the Immigration Service has processed your case, and your residence permit has been extended, you will receive a new residence card by mail. Consequently, you do not have to have your biometric features (facial photo and fingerprints) for your new residence card recorded.

When do we process your case?

The Immigration Service will process your case before your current residence permit under the Special Act expires. We expect to complete the processing of all cases before 17 March 2024.

When will you hear from us?

You will hear from us when we have decided on your case. If we need more information from you to be able to extend your residence permit, we will contact you.
