Moving to Denmark or Continued Residence
shouldn't be stressful.

Timeline

15–30 days (Fast-Track) or 30–60 days (Pay Limit), depending on which scheme you qualify for. We assess this for you upfront.

Ideal For

Professionals with a signed Danish job offer whose employer is not handling the permit process.

Why It's Priced Lower

Renewals follow the same SIRI process as a first application, but without the biometric overseas complexities that often arise for applicants applying from abroad for the first time. You're already here, your documentation trail is established, and the process is more straightforward.

When to Apply

Apply no later than 2 months before your current permit expires. We recommend starting 3 months out — SIRI processing times have increased and applying early protects your right to continue working during the renewal period.

Good to Know

Your spouse receives the right to work in Denmark without needing a separate work permit — making it easier for both of you to build your life here.

Pricing

DKK 3,000 per dependent. For families applying together, the fee is reduced to DKK 2,000 per dependent, with a total cap of DKK 5,000 for three or more dependents.

Timeline

30–60 days. Can often be submitted and processed alongside the principal applicant's work permit application.

Pricing Structure

• Single dependent — DKK 2,000
• Two dependents applying together — DKK 2,000 each
• Three or more dependents — DKK 5,000 total (capped)

Good to Know

Dependent renewals must be submitted while the principal work permit is valid. We typically coordinate these alongside your own permit renewal to keep your family's status aligned.

Who This Is For

EU/EEA nationals living and working in Denmark, and their non-EU family members who need formal documentation of their right to reside.

Timeline

From submission of online application, typically 4 weeks for EU nationals and up to 8 weeks for non-EU spouses or children.

Requirements

Typically 8 years of legal residence, language test (Dansk 3), income requirements, and self-sufficiency. We'll assess your specific situation honestly before you apply.

Timeline

6–12 months from submission. SIRI processes these thoroughly.

What You Need to Know

Changing employers always requires a new work permit application submitted to SIRI — your right to work with the new employer only begins once the new permit is approved. We manage the full process so your transition is seamless and compliant.

Timeline

Fast-Track: 15–30 days. Pay Limit: 30–60 days. We'll advise you on which scheme applies and manage your timeline.

Your Situation

If your work permit is linked to an employer and you want to stay in Denmark to look for a new role, a job-seeking permit gives you up to 6 months to do so legally — without losing your right to remain.

Timeline

Apply before your current permit expires. We'll assess your eligibility and submit as quickly as possible.

We Understand

Losing your job as an expat is terrifying — your permit, your home, your life in Denmark all feel at risk. We'll give you clarity, options, and a clear action plan. You're not alone in this.

Time Is Critical

You typically have 30–60 days to find new employment before your permit expires. Contact us immediately — the sooner we assess your situation, the more options you have.

Your Next Step

For most people, the immediate next step after losing their job is a Job Seeking Permit — giving you up to 6 months to find new employment legally in Denmark. We'll assess your eligibility and handle the application as part of your consultation.
