New digital application for those of you who are applying for a residence and work permit on the basis of paid work in Greenland
Today on 16 February 2026, the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) launches a new digital application, GL1/5. You can use this application for applying for a residence and work permit in Greenland, on the basis of paid work. This means that as of today, you can complete and submit your application digitally on newtodenmark.dk.
What does this mean for you as an applicant?
The new digital version of the application looks different than the printable version, and it also has some new features.
In the digital GL1/5, your employer must begin the application process by completing the first part of the application. When your employer has finished completing their part, we will contact you via email and let you know when you can begin completing your own part.
You can follow the instructions that are presented to you on the relevant application page, on newtodenmark.dk, as well as within the application itself.
The application also gives you access to a platform where you can log in and see all of your ongoing applications, as well as your completed applications for up to 30 days after submitting them.
For a certain period of time, it will still be possible for you to submit the printable versions of the applications physically or via our contact form.
