Overview

This residence permit is for the spouse, registered/cohabiting partner, or child under 18 of a non-EU/EEA national who holds a valid Danish residence permit for work or study.

This permit allows family members of non-EU/EEA residents to join them in Denmark. It grants full work rights, making it a flexible option for spouses and children. The permit's validity is strictly tied to the sponsor's status, and it contributes to the residency time required for future permanent residency applications.
