The culture of Denmark

 

Denmark is a small nation, home to about 5,8 million people. Denmark shares a border with Germany and is one of the three Scandinavian nations.

You may have heard that Danes are among the world's happiest people. Perhaps one of the causes is the welfare system in Denmark.

Free and equal access to services like healthcare and education is a tenet of the Danish social system.

Economic equality in society, virtually minimal corruption, and low crime rates are all goals of the welfare system.

 

Studying in Denmark

What Are the Conditions For a Denmark Student Visa?

The prerequisites for obtaining a student visa for Denmark are as follows:

  • To enroll in a higher education program, you must be accepted.
  • English or Danish language proficiency.
  • Your educational program and institution must be authorized.
  • You must have the financial means to maintain yourself (DKK 6,397 per month).

If you have been admitted to a preparatory course:

  • The course's duration shouldn't exceed a year.
  • The higher education program to which the preparatory course is attached must have granted you admission.

Denmark Student Visa Process

SIRI, the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration, must receive your student visa application. The following stages are involved in applying for a student visa for Denmark:

  • Use the SIRI website to create a case order ID.
  • Pay the application fee for a visa.
  • Amass the necessary paperwork.
  • Fill out the application completely.
  • send your visa application in.
  • Visit a Danish diplomatic mission to register your biometrics.
  • Get a response.

Step 1: On the SIRI website, create a Case Order ID.

You must generate a case order ID for your visa application on the SIRI website. Select the 'Higher Education' case type, then fill up the blanks with your personal data. You will be given the case order number once you are finished.

 Step 2: Pay the Visa Fee 

You must pay the price of 1,890 DKK (253.95 EUR) after creating your Case Order ID in order to avoid having your application denied.

In several circumstances, the charge is not necessary:

  • The EU's Association Agreement with Turkey
  • Denmark's commitments abroad

You must still construct a case order ID even if you are not charged a fee. 

Step 3: Gather the Necessary Documents

A list of Denmark visa requirements must be prepared. A letter of acceptance from your school, documentation of financial support, etc. are examples of this. You must submit the necessary paperwork to avoid losing your visa.

All of your documentation must be ready in digital format for online applications. 

Step 4:  Fill out the application form.

Both your educational institution and you must fill out the application. You have the option of applying using a print form or an online form.

  • Use ST1 online to submit applications online. The first two sections of the application must be finished by your educational institution. Following that, you will be given a password and reference number to use for the other portions of the application.
  • Application printable form (Word, PDF): Part 1 of the application must be completed by you, and Part 2 must be completed by the educational institution. Submit the application in its entirety once both sections are finished.

Step 5: Publish the application 

 If you submitted an online application, SIRI has already received it.

If you did not submit your application online, you may do it at a Danish diplomatic mission abroad or at an application center in the nation where you currently reside.

You can submit your application to Denmark to one of SIRI's branch offices if you are legally residing there.

Step 6: Register Your Biometrics 

For a Danish student visa, a photo and biometric data must be taken. Both SIRI branch offices and Danish diplomatic missions overseas are able to record the biometric information.

If you submit your biometrics at a diplomatic mission within 14 days of submitting your online application, your visa will be denied.

Step 7: Await a Reaction

A Denmark student visa typically takes two months (60 days) to process. Your application status will be communicated to you by email or SMS.

Once your visa has been granted, you can fly to Denmark to start your classes.

The best work life balance in the world!

Consider moving to Denmark to study and work if maintaining a healthy work-life balance is essential to you. Denmark boasts one of the finest work-life balances in the world.

For the Danes, who often live to work rather than vice versa, maintaining a healthy balance between work and leisure time is vital.

Because of this, a typical work week in Denmark is made up of 37 hours.

Since most men and women work, flexible work schedules are widespread. It's not a good idea to work overtime.

 

Every employee is required by law to take the full five weeks of paid vacation they are entitled to each year.

Parents are entitled to 52 weeks of leave with maternity benefits, of which 36 weeks can be split between the mother and father in accordance with personal preferences.

 

 

How to get a permit

 

As a non-EU/EAA citizen you may be granted a Danish residence permit in order to study in Denmark.

To be granted a residence permit, you must prove in writing that:

  • You have been admitted as a student to a higher education course or program at a Danish government-approved university, college, or institute.
  • You are either a visiting/guest student attending a portion of a program that you have already started in your home country of residence, or you are a full-time student finishing an educational program provided by a Danish institution of higher learning.
  • For the period of your stay, you are able to sustain yourself financially. This can be proven by providing proof that your first semester or year's tuition has been paid. Please be aware that if you submit a bank statement as financial verification, it must be recent—less than 30 days—have your name plainly legible, and show the currency in which the account is kept.
  • You are proficient in Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, English, or German in addition to the language of instruction.

How to apply for a student residence permit

 

This application form must be completed in order to apply for a Danish residence visa.

 

Make sure you correctly complete the application form. You have a responsibility to provide the Danish Immigration Authorities with accurate and genuine information.

If you don't, you run the danger of having your application refused or your case's processing time extended.

 

The process is as follows:

 

Section two of the application form will first be filled out by a representative of the educational institution in Denmark, who will then submit it to you together with the necessary documentation.

 

  • Next, you must complete section one of the application form and attach your own supporting documents to it (remember to sign the sworn declaration at the end of the form).
  • The first portion of the application form must then be filled out and your own supporting papers included. Don't forget to sign the sworn statement at the bottom of the form.
  • Finally, you must turn in the full application to the Danish Embassy, General Consulate, or VFS-station that is closest to you. The Danish Immigration Service will thereafter receive the application for processing. Additionally, you have the option of applying online. In this situation, you have 14 days to send your biometric information to one of the aforementioned Danish Representations. 

Note: A 2000 DKK processing fee will normally be charged when applying for a residence permit or an extension of a residence permit.
