Denmark Extends Residence Permits for Displaced Ukrainians Until March 17, 2025
The Ministry for Immigration and Integration of Denmark has revealed that it will extend temporary residence permits for individuals displaced from Ukraine until March 17, 2025.
The Immigration Service will also conduct an automatic evaluation to determine whether a residence permit under the Special Act is eligible for an extension.
According to the same source, if a person continues to meet the criteria specified in their existing residence permit, we will automatically renew it for you. Therefore, there is no need for you to submit a personal application for a residence permit extension.
As the authority explains, if the Immigration Service has processed a case for a person and the residence permit has been extended, the person will receive a new residence card by mail. On the other hand, individuals do not have to register their own biometric characteristics such as face photo and fingerprints for the new residence card.
The Immigration Service will handle your case prior to the expiration of your current residence permit under the Special Act. Our aim is to finalise the processing of all cases by March 17, 2024.
