Serious illness/disability
The Immigration Service may suspend one or more requirements for family reunification if your spouse/partner in Denmark is seriously ill, is seriously disabled, or is so old that it would be indefensible from a humanitarian point of view to advise him/her to reside in your country of origins because the needed treatment or care would not be available.
If your spouse/partner in Denmark is seriously ill or disabled, you should include in your application for a residence permit a statement from a doctor which contains information about your spouse/partner's diagnosis and which treatment/medicin your spouse/partner receives/uses.
The Immigration Service will then assess whether your spouse/partner can receive the needed treatment/care in his/her or your country of origins. Usually, the Immigration Service will not take into consideration whether the standard of treatment is lower in the other country, or whether treatment would have to be paid for in the other country.
If the Immigration Service decides that your spouse/partner can receive the needed treatment in his/her or your country of origins, the requirements for family reunification will not be suspended. This means that all requirements must be met.
