Avenues for appeal

The Immigration Service rules in cases concerning applications for a residence permit under the Danish Aliens Act.

If the Immigration Service rejects your application, you can appeal to the Ministry of Refugee, Immigration and Integration Affairs.

If you are currently residing in Denmark, you will normally be required to leave the country while the Ministry processes your appeal.

However, if your appeal concerns a revocation or denied extension of your residence permit, you will often be permitted to remain in the country during the appeal process. Your complaint must be filed no later than seven days after the Immigration Service announces its ruling.

The appeal process will be explained in detail when you receive the Immigration Service's ruling.
