Questions and answers
The Immigration Service makes initial decisions about applications for permanent residency. If your application was refused, you can appeal the decision to the Immigration Appeals Board.
The letter you received from the Immigration Service with the decision contains information about how to appeal.
If you have applied for a permanent residence permit as a spouse reunified, family reunified, refugee, or religious preacher, and your application is refused, the Danish Immigration Service will automatically decide whether you can extend your temporary residence permit if it is about to expire. In that case, you will also receive a decision on the extension of your residence permit.
If you have applied for a permanent residence permit as a worker or student, or as an accompanying family member of a worker or student, the Danish Immigration Service will, as part of the case processing, ask SIRI whether the conditions for your temporary residence permit are still met. If there are less than 3 months until your current temporary residence permit expires, SIRI will decide whether your temporary residence permit can be extended. SIRI will contact you if they need information from you in this regard. If there are more than 3 months until your current temporary residence permit expires, SIRI will not extend your residence permit, as it is not necessary for the processing of your application for a permanent residence permit at the Danish Immigration Service.
If your application for a permanent residence permit is refused and your temporary residence permit has not been extended by SIRI, you must apply for an extension of your residence permit with SIRI. You will need to pay a processing fee for this. You can do this no earlier than 3 months before your residence permit expires, and no later than the day before the residence permit expires.
If your application has been refused, you can apply for the Immigration Service to reopen your case. You can do this, if you believe that there was information at the time of the Immigration Service’s ruling, which might have resulted in a different outcome, had they been present when the Immigration Service was making the original decision.
