New digital application for people who are applying for a residence permit as accompanying family to a person who has been granted permanent residence in connection with work or study
Today, 14 September 2026, the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) is launching a digital version of MF4. You can use it to apply for a residence permit as accompanying family to a person who has been granted permanent residence in connection with work or study. 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?
You can use MF4 to apply for a residence permit as accompanying family to a person who has been granted a permanent residence permit on the basis of work or study in Denmark, provided that the person either continues to meet the conditions for an extension of the residence permit they had when they were granted permanent residence, or has a job that would qualify them for a residence permit under one of the applicable work schemes.
You can also use MF4 to apply for an extension of your current residence permit as accompanying family to a person who has been granted a permanent residence permit or Danish citizenship on the basis of work or study.
The digital MF4 looks different than the printable version. 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:
You want to apply for the first time
You want to extend your residence permit
The digital MF4 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 to submit the printable MF4 either physically or via our contact form.
However, from 14 October 2026, you must use the digital MF4. If you submit your application using the printable MF4 after this date, SIRI will, as a rule, reject the application.
From 14 October 2026, you will also no longer be able to use the applications MF1 and MF2 to apply for a residence permit as accompanying family to a person who has been granted a permanent residence permit or Danish citizenship on the basis of work or study. Instead, you must use the digital MF4.
