If you have close relatives in Denmark, you can apply for a residence permit on the grounds of family reunification.
Provided that certain requirements are met, family reunification can be granted to:
** Spouses and cohabiting partners. Read more about spouses and cohabiting partners
** Children. Read more about children
** Other family members. Read more about other family members
If you are granted a residence permit, it will be a temporary one with a possibility for extension, provided that you still meet the requirements. After a number of years, you can apply for a permanent residence permit. You must still meet the conditions for your original residence permit, as well as a number of additional requirements. Read more about permanent residence permit.
If you are granted a residence permit on the grounds of family reunification, you also have the right to work in Denmark.
If the person in Denmark (the spouse/partner or the parent) is an EU/EEA citizen or Swiss citizen residing in Denmark under the EU regulations on free movement, special rules apply. Read more about EU and Nordic Citizens.

How to apply:
When applying for family reunification in Denmark, you must choose between four different application packages. Each application package contains a thorough description of how to fill in the form, and which documentation to include.
Please note:
If an application for a residence permit on the grounds of family reunification does not include all the necessary information or documentation, it may be rejected. This means that the Immigration Service will not process the application. Please use the check list at the back of each application form before submitting the application.
