The guidance you will receive if you call the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration is meant as a supplement to the information available on newtodenmark.dk.

We therefore recommend that you read the relevant pages and sections on newtodenmark.dk before you call us.

If you call us, we can give you general information about the various rules and regulations, including the general conditions for a residence permit. We cannot give you guidance as to what you must do to meet the specific conditions for a residence permit.

We can only give you guidance based on the information you are giving us, if you have not yet submitted an application.

If you have already applied and have received a refusal, the letter informing you of our decision will contain information on your options for appeal.
