New rules regarding permanent residence permit and family reunification
1 July 2024 new rules regarding permanent residence permit and family reunification of spouses will become effective.
The Danish parliament has passed the bill regarding permanent residence permit and family reunification on 30 May 2024. This means, that the requirement that you may not have been convicted of certain crimes is tighten, so that also a charge or indictment of certain crimes in the future will hinder you from getting a permanent residence. The same applies to the transferred requirements for permanent residence permit, which you must meet, when you apply for family reunification of spouses if the spouse in Denmark is a foreigner 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.
