Residence Permits
Newtodenmark.dk is the Danish Immigration Service and the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration’s official web portal about the rules for entering and residing in Denmark.
Non-Danish citizens may have to apply for either an EU residence document or a residence permit via this website.
Please note that applicants from non-EU/non-EEA countries can only apply for a one-year residence permit for studying if they are coming to Denmark without their parents. You can only be granted this residence permit to follow one year of a high school programme if you meet one of the following three conditions:
- – the stay must be arranged by a student exchange organisation
- – you have started your high school programme in your home country and want to do one year of your education in Denmark
- – you wish to start your high school programme in Denmark, and you are able to provide documentation showing that you will continue the programme in your home country
It is the applicant, who must apply for either an EU residence document or a residence permit, if required to attend Stenhus Gymnasium. In the table below, you can check whether you have to apply.
