How it works

Three steps to a clear answer

  1. Choose an assessment

    Pick the route that matches your plans: family, work, business, study or settling in Denmark.

  2. Answer the questions

    Tell us about your situation, your documents and your plans in the portal.

  3. Get your next steps

    You get a first indication of your options. Our advisers can go through it with you and prepare your application.

Read the rules first

An assessment gives a first indication only and is not a decision. Only the Danish authorities (SIRI and the Danish Immigration Service) decide on residence permits, and the rules can change.
