In most cases you must pay a fee in order to have an application for a residence permit processed by SIRI.
Please follow link for further information about fees.

Below you find guidance on when it is possible to have a fee refunded.

Please note that the guidance only concern fees paid to the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration for the processing of an application. It does not concern fees paid toThe Danish Immigration Service or a payment  you may have made to a Danish representation outside of Denmark for their assistance in connection with the submission of an application.

A fee can be refunded if:

  • you are not eligible for submitting the application

  • the international obligations of Demark or EU-regulation dictates an application to be submitted without fee 

  • your application is rejected because you have not made full payment of the fee and the difference is more than DKK 225 (2023 level) or

  • your application is rejected because you have not made full payment of the fee and the difference is less than DKK 225 (2023 level) but you have not paid the full fee within the given deadline.

If an application cannot be processed it will be rejected and part of the fee will be refund.

As a rule SIRI cannot process your application if

  1. You submit in Denmark at a point when your stay in Denmark is not legal
  2. You are obliged to provide biometric data for the application but refuse to do so
  3. The application must be submitted online and you do not oblige.

In these situations you will receive a refund less an amount of DKK 930 (2023 level)
