Registration of residence permit in EU countries. In connection with the growth of international mobility and interest in living abroad, obtaining a residence visa in Denmark for Ukrainian citizens is becoming an actual topic. This article provides information on the procedure and requirements for obtaining a residence visa for Ukrainian citizens in the Kingdom of Denmark.
Denmark is a highly developed Scandinavian country with a high standard of living and employment opportunities. During the war in Ukraine, this country became a refuge for many of our compatriots. For a long-term legal stay in Denmark, it is necessary to legally issue a residence permit. Let's consider the main ways of obtaining it for citizens of Ukraine.
1. Temporary residence permit
In connection with the military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, the Danish government made it possible for our citizens to obtain a temporary residence permit for up to 2 years. To do this, you need to contact the Immigration Service at the place of stay and provide identity documents, a certificate of connection with Ukraine and biometric data. The right to employment is provided.
2. Work for hire
One of the ways to obtain a residence permit is employment in Denmark under an employment contract. To do this, you must have a contract with a term of at least 1 year, a work permit from the Danish authorities, a health insurance policy and a certificate of sufficient income/assets. The services of highly qualified specialists are particularly in demand.
3. Entrepreneurial activity
Ukrainians can open their own business in Denmark by registering a company or as self-employed persons. In this case, you can apply for a residence permit if you have proven capital/income for investments, a health insurance policy and a business plan.
4. Training
Students who have entered accredited Danish universities can issue a student residence permit for the period of study. It is necessary to have a certificate from the educational institution, documents about sufficient financial support and medical insurance.
5. Financially independent persons
Denmark is open to financially independent foreigners who have an annual income/pension of at least DKK 376,000 (about €50,000) plus DKK 93,000 per dependent. They can issue a residence permit provided they have this wealth and health insurance.
6. Family reunification
Family members of Ukrainians who have already received a permanent residence permit can also apply for the GNP under the family reunification procedure if they have supporting documents.
In general, the procedure for obtaining a residence permit in Denmark involves the collection of a package of documents confirming the purpose of stay, financial support, health insurance, and the payment of an administrative fee. In some cases, interviews may be conducted.
Obtaining a residence permit will allow Ukrainians to legally live, work or study in socially oriented Denmark. This will open safe prospects for integration into an economically developed European country. The general procedure for obtaining a residence permit in Denmark for Ukrainian citizens can take some time, so it is recommended to start the registration process in advance. Complying with all requirements and providing sufficient documentation is the key to success.
