Do you have a temporary residence permit in Denmark that is about to expire and you wish to extend? In this article, we will review the options available for applying for an extension.
The conditions for extending a residence permit depend on the type of permit.
The conditions for extending your residence permit in Denmark largely depend on the type of residence permit you hold. For instance, you may have a residence permit due to asylum, study, au pair work, employment, internship, or other reasons. Each category has its own conditions for extension.
On the Danish Immigration Service's website, nyidanmark.dk, you can apply for an extension of the specific type of residence permit you currently hold, provided you still meet the conditions for the permit you wish to extend. You can also find information about the specific conditions there.
You can also apply to extend your residence permit on nyidanmark.dk if your circumstances have changed in a way that affects your permission to stay in Denmark.
If you need assistance with your application, you can contact the citizen service center in your municipality.
After you have applied for an extension of your residence permit.
While your application is being processed, you must remain in Denmark – even if your residence permit expires during the processing period. You are generally also allowed to continue working or studying during this time.
