Many au pairs wish to stay in Denmark after the ending of an au pair
stay. All non-Danish citizens need to obtain a residence permit in order
to stay legally in Denmark. This flyer gives you a very short introduction.
Overall it is possible to get a residence permit in Denmark via:
n Visa
• A visa is used for short stays, e.g. holiday
• Entitles you to spend maximum 90 days in the Schengen region
• Does not allow you to work or study in Denmark
n Permanent residence
n Visa (short term)
n Permanent residence
n Work
n Study
n Family reunification
• A permanent residence gives you the right to live, work and study in Denmark
• There are a number of very specific requirements which you must meet, but first and foremost you can only apply if you have resided in Denmark legally for at least five years

n Work
• If you are from a non-EU country you must hold a work permit
in order to work in Denmark
• For some types of jobs an application will be turned down if there are available professionals residing in Denmark and EU/EEA
• In some cases, you must obtain a Danish authorisation e.g. as
a nurse
n Study
• If you are from a non-EU country you must hold a residence
permit in order to study in Denmark
• You must e.g. document that you have been admitted to a higher educational or basic youth study programme and that you can support yourself and pay the tuition fee, if any, with your own means
n Family Reunification
• 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, registered partners, cohabiting
partners, children and other family members
