Application for a residence and work permit for students

PART 1 – to be completed by the applicant

1. Information about fees
You will normally have to pay a fee if you submit an application for a residence and work permit in Denmark. You can
find a list of the current fees on newtodenmark.dk/fee.

All persons who submit an application for residence and work permit for students must do the following in the order
below:
1. Create a case order ID. Please note: You must state the case order ID in the field below.
2. Pay the fee.
3. Submit the application.

The fee covers the processing of your case. This means that the fee will not be refunded if your application is turned
down. Furthermore, the fee will not be refunded, if you choose to withdraw your application while it is being
processed. If you have not paid the fee your application will be rejected, which means that it will not be processed. If
your application is rejected for any other reason than lack of payment of the fee, the fee will be refunded minus an
administration fee.

How do I create a case order ID?

Anyone can create a case order ID on newtodenmark.dk/fee. You must clearly state the case order ID in the field
below and when paying the fee.

How do I pay the fee?

You can pay the fee in several ways, such as by credit card, through a Danish internet bank, in the bank or at the
post office. On newtodenmark.dk/fee you can choose how you wish to pay, and you can see which information is
required when paying the fee. Please note: The fee must be paid no later than at the same time as the application is
submitted. In most cases, this means that the fee will need to be paid before the application is submitted. Only a few
specific Danish diplomatic missions will allow you to pay the fee when you submit your application. You cannot pay
the at SIRI’s branch offices.

Please include documentation that you have paid the fee, such as a receipt for payment with credit card, for
transfer through a Danish internet bank or a receipt from a bank or a post office.

1.1 Case order ID

Please state your (the applicant’s) case order ID. The case order ID you state below must be identical to the case
order ID stated when paying the fee. Please include documentation that you have paid the fee. If you believe that you
are exempt from paying the fee, please enter your case order ID and tick the box next to ‘The applicant is exempt
from paying the fee’.

Case order ID The applicant is exempt from paying the fee

1.2 Information required for refunding the fee (in case the fee is to be refunded)
Please give the information required for refunding the fee. The fee can be refunded by transfer to a Danish NEM
account (‘NEM-konto’), a Danish bank account, a foreign bank account, or in cash at a Danish diplomatic mission.
Diplomatic missions can only repay fees in cash if the fee was originally paid there. Please state the name of the
person to whom the refund should be paid (account holder/recipient), how you wish to receive the money, and any
required information.

Page 3 of 18
ST1

If the refund is to be paid to a foreign bank account, we recommend that you speak with your bank first to obtain the
information necessary in order to receive a transfer from Denmark. In addition to the account information, you may,
for instance, also need to provide the bank’s address.

Please note that, if you originally paid the fee with Dankort or credit card, for a period of 180 days from the date of
payment, the fee can only be refunded to that same Dankort or credit card. After this period, your fee can be
returned to the bank account specified by you below.

9. Sworn declarations – applicant

A. Sworn declaration that I have given correct information

I solemnly swear that the information I have given in this application is correct. If the information is found to be false,
I am subject to the following penalties:

 My residence permit can be revoked.

 Fine or imprisonment of up to two years.
 I can be required by law to repay the expenses incurred by the Danish state as a consequence of the false
information.

B. Information about your duty to provide the necessary information

It is your duty to provide the information necessary to decide whether you can be granted a permit. If you do not
provide this information, it may mean that you will not be granted a permit.

C. Information on how we process your personal data

SIRI is obliged to inform you how we process your data and to inform you of your rights in regard to how we process
your data.

Data controller
SIRI is the data controller and responsible for processing the personal data given in this application form and the data
provided about you during the processing of the case. You can contact the agency by writing to the following address:
The Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI), Carl Jacobsens Vej 39, PO box 304, 2500
Valby or through our contact form on newtodenmark.dk/SIRI-contactform.

Data protection officer

You can contact our data protection officer by writing to the aforementioned address (Att. Data protection officer) or
by using our contact form at newtodenmark.dk/SIRI-contactform. You can read more about SIRI as data controller
and about SIRI’s data protection officer on newtodenmark.dk/personaldata.

Purpose and legal basis

The personal data you provide to SIRI is collected and used:
 to process your application for a residence and/or work permit in Denmark
 in any later application for an extension or for a new residence and/or work permit in Denmark
 for verification and spot checks of the conditions for your residence and/or work in Denmark

The legal basis for processing your personal data is:

 The Danish Aliens Act, in particular chapter 1 on the entry and residence of aliens in Denmark.
 The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), article 6.1 (c) (relating to the processing of data in order to
comply with the legal obligation to which the controller is subject) and 6.1 (e) (relating to the exercise of

Page 7 of 18
ST1

official authority vested in SIRI by the Aliens Act).

 The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), article 9.2 (f) (relating to the necessity of processing in
order to establish, exercise or defend legal claims).
 The Danish Data Protection Act section 8 (relating to the official authority only being allowed to process
information about criminal offences if it is necessary for tasks of that official authority).

The information you give or have given in connection with your application will be registered in the registers of Danish
immigration authorities. The same holds true for any information you later give in connection with an application to
extend your residence permit or for a new residence and/or work permit in Denmark.

Some of your data will be registered in the Civil Registration System (CPR). This will in some instances happen
immediately when you are granted a permit. In other situations the registration will take place only when you take up
residence in Denmark.

We process the following categories of data about you:

 General personal data, such as: information about your name, possible civil registration number (CPR-number), ;
citizenship, occupation, education, marital status, financial information and whether you have committed any
legally punishable offences
 Sensitive personal data, such as: health information and biometric data collected for the purpose of establishing
your identity.

We can disclose your data to the following recipients

SIRI can pass on your data to your sponsor (e.g. your employer, place of study, host or family member), municipal
authorities, the police, the Danish Security and Intelligence Service and the Danish Defence Intelligence Service, the
public prosecutor, the Immigration Appeals Board, the Refugee Appeals Board, the Ministry of Immigration and
Integration, the Danish immigration Service, the Danish Agency for Labour Market and Recruitment, the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs of Denmark and The Danish Parliament.

In isolated cases, SIRI also passes on your data to other public authorities, private sector organizations and foreign
organizations and authorities when it is necessary to exercise our official authority.

Furthermore, data from SIRIs registers and the CPR register are shared with other relevant authorities or
organisations via the Aliens Information Portal (Udlændingeinformationsportalen) if they need the data in order to
process aspects of your stay in Denmark.

SIRI shares data when it is necessary in order to exercise our official authority, including when we are legally obliged
to share information.

If you lose your residence permit, we will inform your current or previous employers, if any, that you no longer have
the right to work. This will happen, if we issue a refusal to an application for a residence permit or to an extension of
a residence permit. It will also happen if we revoke your residence permit or if we establish that your residence
permit has lapsed. Employers who within the last three months have reported salary payments to you to the income
register will be informed.

What is the origin of the data we process about you?

The personal data that SIRI processes about you have been provided by you in this application form. We will also
process data you may submit to your case later.

In addition, we will process data obtained from:

 any of your previous applications submitted to SIRI,
 searches in databases, such as: the Civil Registration System (CPR), the Income Register (eIncome), the Building
and Dwelling Register (BBR), the Central Crime Register (KR), the Central Passport Register and the Schengen
Information System (SIS II)
 other authorities, such as: municipal authorities, the Regional State Administration, the Danish Immigration
Service, the Immigration Appeals Board and the Refugee Appeals Board,
 third-parties or sponsors, such as: your au pair- or internship host, employer or educational institutions
 any person applying for a residence permit based on your grounds for residence in Denmark, and this person’s
previous cases with SIRI.

Storage of data
SIRI will store your personal data for as long as it is necessary in order to be able to carry out our tasks in relation to
establishing or defending a legal claim to residence.

Data submitted as part of an immigration related matter can be stored for use by the immigration authorities at a
later date. This means that the data can enter into the decision making process regarding future applications for
extension of a residence permit, when revoking a residence permit, for verification and spot checks, when deciding
whether a permit has lapsed, in relation to applications for permanent residency and for naturalization and in cases

Page 8 of 18
ST1

concerning any family members.

In practice this means that SIRI will store your data for the period of your ‘lifecycle’ – i.e. your entire life. Basic data
regarding your stay in Denmark, e.g. when and why you have been granted a residence permit and information on
other decisions made by SIRI regarding your residence in Denmark will not be erased.

If you have your finger prints and facial photo taken for use with your residence card and for identification and
identity control, your fingerprints and photo will be stored in the immigration authorities’ database. If you are granted
a residence permit, your fingerprints and photo will be stored for 10 years. If you are not granted a residence permit,
your fingerprints and photo will be stored for 20 years. If you are granted Danish citizenship, your fingerprints and
photo will be deleted.

Finally, it must be mentioned that data will be transferred to the Danish National Archives in accordance with the
Danish Archives Act.

Your rights
Under the GDPR you have a number of rights in relation to our processing of data about you:

The right to know what kind of data we process about you

You have the right to ask what kind of data we are processing about you and be granted access to these data. If you
request access to your data, your application will be processed in accordance with the GDPR’s regulations governing
right of access. If there are other regulations which provide you with greater access than the GDPR affords, your
request for access will be processed in accordance with these regulations as well. These additional regulations may
include those contained in the Public Administration Act that governs freedom of information requests.

The right to rectification (data correction) and the right to have your data erased

You have the right to request that corrections be made to personal data about you that you find inaccurate. In
specific situations, you also have the right to have your data erased. As a rule, information can only be erased, if it is
not necessary for processing your case as SIRI is obliged to record and register information in accordance with the
Public Administration Act.

The right to restriction of processing

In some situations, you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data. Where processing has been
restricted, SIRI may thereafter, with the exception of storage, only process your data with your consent unless the
purpose of the processing is to establish or defend a legal claim, to protect another person or for reasons of important
public interest.

The right to object

In some situations, you have the right to object to otherwise legal processing of your personal data. This means that
you can request that your data is erased, corrected or restricted.

You can read more about your rights in the Danish Data Protection Agency’s guidelines about GDPR at
www.datatilsynet.dk. If you would like make use of your rights under the GDPR, contact SIRI.

Complaints to the Data Protection Agency

You have the right to submit a complaint to the Data Protection Agency if you are dissatisfied with the way we
process your personal data. Contact information for the Data Protection Agency is available at www.datatilsynet.dk.

D. Verification and spot-checks

Your case may be selected for a spot-check. The spot-check aims to verify the following:

 The accuracy of the information you have given.

 Whether you meet the conditions for a residence and/or work permit, if such is granted to you.
 Whether you are staying and/or working in Denmark without the necessary permit.
Verification may involve the following:

 Checking public registers, such as the Civil Registration System (CPR)

 Comparing information contained in the registers of SIRI and the Danish Immigration Service with records
held by the Civil Registration System (CPR), the Building and Dwelling Register (BBR), the Central Business
Register (CVR) and the Income Register (eIncome).
 Contacting other authorities, such as municipalities

Page 9 of 18
ST1

 Contacting third parties, such as employers or places of study

 Turning up in person at your residence, place of study or workplace
 Using information registered by your employer about your employment
You may be asked to supply additional information as part of the verification and spot-check process.

10. Consent to let SIRI share information from my case with my sponsor
When necessary in order to process your application or as part of later verification and spot check procedures of your
stay in Denmark, SIRI can, without your consent, share information about you with your sponsor. This can for
example be in order to enable SIRI to verify the accuracy of the information you have provided in the application, or
in order to check whether you continue to meet the conditions of your permit). Please note paragraph C “Information
on how we process your data” in section 9 “Declaration and information – applicant”

However, it will sometimes ease the processing of your case if SIRI to a greater extent can share information about
your personal circumstances with your sponsor (e.g. if we cannot get in touch with you). If you would like SIRI to be
able to share information with your sponsor, you must give your consent below.

If you do not wish to give your consent to let SIRI share information in these situations, we will instead get the
information from you (the applicant) and abstain from sharing information with your sponsor. This may result in a
longer processing time for your application.

You can at any point in time withdraw your consent. If you wish to withdraw your consent you must inform us. You
can find our contact information on newtodenmark.dk/contact-siri.

(tick off)

I hereby consent to let the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) share
information about me with my sponsor to this greater extent in order to ease the processing of this
application.

11. Signature – the applicant

By signing below, I confirm that the information I have given in this form is correct and that I have read
and accepted the terms laid out in section 9, paragraph A.
I also confirm that I have made a decision regarding section 10 on consent to share information.
I also understand that the information I have given or will be giving will be registered in SIRI's registers
and that the information contained in the registers of SIRI and the Danish Immigration Service can be
compared with records held in the Civil Registration System (CPR), the Building and Dwelling Register
(BBR), the Central Business Register (CVR) and the Income Register (eIncome).

Date and place Signature

Did you remember everything?

If your application for a Danish residence permit is correctly filled out and contains the required documents, we can
process your case faster.

It is therefore important that you make certain that part 1 of the form is filled out correctly and that you have
included the necessary documents before submitting your application.

We recommend using the checklist below to verify that the application is complete and correct.

Page 10 of 18
ST1

It is possible to send documents through our contact form at newtodenmark.dk/SIRI-contactform, if there are specific
documents which you are unable to have ready when you submit the application. It is important that you know that
the service goal is calculated from the date when we have received all necessary documents. If you submit additional
documents later, you must therefore expect to wait longer before you will receive a decision.

Checklist – part 1
Before submitting the application, please ensure that you have included the following documents (please
tick the boxes):

Documentation of paid fee, such as a receipt for payment with credit card, for transfer through a Danish internet
bank or a receipt from a bank or a post office.

Copy of all pages of the applicant’s passport, including the cover (if the application is submitted in Denmark, only
pages containing information, including the cover and any pages containing visas or stamps are required).

Documentation of enrolment in an educational institution in your home country (if applicant is a guest- or
exchange student).

If you are to study at a higher educational programme and are not to pay tuition fees, and have not been
granted Danish state scholarship (free tuition and covering of living expenses), or if you are to study at a
preparatory higher educational programme or at a basic or youth study programme, you must also include:

Documentation that you can support yourself financially while in Denmark (e.g. bank statement or documentation
for a grant or scholarship. If you attach documentation from your bank, this documentation must be in your name
and must be issued within the last 30 days. The documents must clearly state the currency of your holdings and that
your holdings are cash funds).
It is important that you have

answered all questions in part 1 (sections 1-10),

signed and dated the application in section 11.

Biometric features required on residence cards

If you submit your application in Denmark or in a country where Denmark has a diplomatic mission, you must appear
in person to have your biometric features (digital facial image and fingerprints) recorded.

If you submit your application at the diplomatic mission of a country with which Denmark has a representation
agreement, you must appear in person to submit two facial images. Upon arrival in Denmark, your biometric features
(digital facial image and fingerprint) will be recorded.

If you send your application by post or if it is submitted by a third-party such as a lawyer, you must appear in person
to have your biometric features recorded within 14 days of the application being submitted. If you reside in a
country where Denmark has a representation agreement with another country’s diplomatic mission, you must appear
in person to submit two facial images within 14 days of submitting your application. When you appear to have your
biometric features recorded or to submit your facial images, please remember to bring a photocopy of the first
three pages of your completed application form. This will allow the immigration authorities to match your biometric
features with the application. Please note that the processing of your application will not begin until your biometric
features are submitted.

Please bring your passport or other form of travel documentation when having your biometric features recorded or
when submitting your facial images. In addition to your biometric features, your signature will also be recorded.
Facial images and fingerprints are stored on a microchip embedded in the residence card.

If you are in Denmark, you can get your biometrics recorded in one of the Agency for International Recruitment and
Integration’s branch offices. (um.dk/en).

If you do not agree to have your biometric features recorded in connection with the application being submitted in
Denmark or at a Danish diplomatic mission, your application will be rejected. If the application is submitted at
another country’s diplomatic mission with which Denmark has a representation agreement, and you do not submit
two facial images, it will likewise be rejected. If you are not physically capable of providing fingerprints, you will not
be required to do so.

SIRI is the data controller and responsible for processing the personal data given in this application form and the data
provided about you during the processing of the case. You can contact the agency by writing to the following address:

Data protection officer

You can contact our data protection officer by writing to the aforementioned address (Att. Data protection officer) or
by using our contact form at newtodenmark.dk/SIRI-contactform. You can read more about SIRI as data controller
and about SIRI’s data protection officer on newtodenmark.dk/personaldata.

Purpose and legal basis

The personal data you provide to SIRI is collected and used:
 to process this application for a residence and/or work permit in Denmark
 in any later application for an extension or for a new residence and/or work permit in Denmark
 for verification and spot checks of the conditions for applicant's residence and/or work in Denmark

The legal basis for processing your personal data is:

 The Danish Aliens Act, in particular chapter 1 on the entry and residence of aliens in Denmark.
 The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), article 6.1 (c) (relating to the processing of data in order to
comply with the legal obligation to which the controller is subject) and 6.1 (e) (relating to the exercise of
official authority vested in the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration by the Aliens
Act).
 The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), article 9.2 (f) (relating to the necessity of processing in
order to establish, exercise or defend legal claims).
 The Danish Data Protection Act section 8 (relating to the official authority only being allowed to process
information about criminal offences if it is necessary for tasks of that official authority).

The information you give or have given in connection with the application will be registered in the registers of Danish
immigration authorities. The same holds true for any information you later give in connection with an application from
the applicant to extend his or her residence permit or for a new residence and/or work permit in Denmark.

We process the following types of data about you

 General personal data, such as: information about your name, contact information and information about your
position at the company

We can pass on your data to the following recipients

SIRI can pass on your information to others, and we for example pass on information to the police, the Danish
Security and Intelligence Service and the Danish Defence Intelligence Service, the public prosecutor, the Immigration
Appeals Board, the Ministry of Immigration and Integration, the Danish Immigration Service, the Danish Parliament
and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark.

SIRI shares data when it is necessary in order to exercise our official authority, including when we are legally obliged
to share information.

What is the origin of the information we process about you?

The data that SIRI processes about you, have been provided by you in this application form. We will also process data
you or the applicant may submit to the case later.

Storage of data
SIRI will store your personal data for as long as it is necessary in order to be able to carry out our tasks in relation to
establishing or defending a legal claim to residence.

Data submitted as part of an immigration related matter can be stored for use by the immigration authorities at a
later date. This means that the data can enter into the decision making process regarding future applications for
extension of a residence permit, when revoking a residence permit, for verification and spot checks, when deciding
whether a permit has lapsed, in relation to applications for permanent residency and for naturalization and in cases
concerning any family members. In practice this means that SIRI will store your data for the period of the applicant's
‘lifecycle’ – i.e. his or her entire life.

Finally, it must be mentioned that data will be transferred to the Danish National Archives in accordance with the
Danish Archives Act.

Your rights
Under the GDPR you have a number of rights in relation to our processing of data about you:

Page 16 of 18
ST1

The right to know what kind of data we process about you

You have the right to ask what kind of data we are processing about you and be granted access to these data. If you
request access to your data, your application will be processed in accordance with the GDPR’s regulations governing
right of access. If there are other regulations which provide you with greater access than the GDPR affords, your
request for access will be processed in accordance with these regulations as well. These additional regulations may
include those contained in the Public Administration Act that governs freedom of information requests.

The right to rectification (data correction) and the right to have your data erased

You have the right to request that corrections be made to personal data about you that you find inaccurate. In
specific situations, you also have the right to have your data erased. As a rule, information can only be erased, if it is
not necessary for processing your case as SIRI is obliged to record and register information in accordance with the
Public Administration Act.

The right to restriction of processing

In some situations, you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data. Where processing has been
restricted, SIRI may thereafter, with the exception of storage, only process your data with your consent unless the
purpose of the processing is to establish or defend a legal claim, to protect another person or for reasons of important
public interest.

The right to object

In some situations, you have the right to object to otherwise legal processing of your personal data. This means that
you can request that your data is erased, corrected or restricted.

You can read more about your rights in the Danish Data Protection Agency’s guidelines about GDPR at
datatilsynet.dk. If you would like make use of your rights under the GDPR, contact SIRI.

Complaints to the Data Protection Agency

You have the right to submit a complaint to the Data Protection Agency if you are dissatisfied with the way we
process your personal data. Contact information for the Data Protection Agency is available at datatilsynet.dk.

D. Verification and spot-checks

The case may be selected for a spot-check. The spot-check aims to verify the following:
 The accuracy of the information given.
 Whether the conditions for a residence and/or work permit if such is granted, continue to be met.
 If a foreign national is being employed without the necessary work permit or in contradiction to the
conditions pertaining to the work permit.

Verification may involve the following:

 Checking public registers, such as the income register (eIncome).
 Comparing information contained in the registers of SIRI and the Danish Immigration Service with records
held by the Civil Registration System (CPR), the Building and Dwelling Register (BBR), the Central Business
Register (CVR) and the income register (eIncome).
 Contacting other authorities, such as the Danish Custoums and Tax Administration.
 Contacting third parties
 Contacting the foreign national.
 Turning up in person at the workplace.
 Using information registered by the employer about the foreign national’s employment.

You may be asked to supply additional information as part of the verification and spot-check process.
