3 December 2012 - Changes in Immigration Processing Fee
If you plan to apply for a residence permit or an extension of a residence
permit based on work or studies around 1 January 2013, please note that
processing fees are regulated on 1 January 2013.
If you wish to apply before the fees are regulated, you must create a Case
Order ID and submit your application before 1 January 2013. It is not possible
to create a Case Order ID with the 2013 fee prior to 1 January 2013. This means
that if you wish to submit your application after 1 January 2013, it is
important that you create your Case Order ID on 1 January 2013 or later.
In other words, it is the date on which you submit your application to the
Danish Agency for Labour Retention and International Recruitment, to the Danish
police, or at a Danish diplomatic mission, which decides the amount of the fee.
If you have paid less than the required amount, your application will be
rejected, that is, it will not be processed.
The processing fees for applying for a residence permit are regulated every
year on 1 January.

Denmark Introduces Biometric Residence Cards from 20 May 2012
From 20 May 2012 Danish Embassy will be introducing biometrics for all the long
term applications. Biometrics must contain digital photos, fingerprints and
signatures. In this way the security against forgery and misuse of residence
cards is strengthened.
When you come to the visa application centre to deliver a residence/ work
permit application, you will need to have your biometric data recorded. You
should remove any henna on your fingertips, or allow it to fade, as this may
prevent us from getting a clear scan.
Every applicant who is submitting a residence permit application must attend
the visa application centre in person. Children of less than6 years need to
attend, but are not require to have fingerprints or signature recorded, only a
photograph.
Currently VFS Denmark application center will record biometrics for all long
term applications at Delhi, Mumbai & Chennai only. Currently the biometric
will not be recorded at Kolkatta application center, so the applicants applying
under long term category have to submit the application at one of the above
mentioned location. |

New Regulations on Residence Permits
With effect of May 20, 2011, the Danish Embassy New Delhi no longer issues
residence permits in form of stickers in the passport. Applicants who receive
permission for a residence permit will be issued a D-Visa that allows the
applicant to travel to Denmark within a prescribed time frame. In Denmark, the
applicant has to approach the Danish Immigration Service, which will then issue
the residence permit in form of a plastic card to the applicant. The new
procedure is in accordance with EU regulations. Please note that the D-Visa is
territorially restricted to Denmark. It allows the applicant to transit through
other Schengen airports, but it does not allow the travel into other Schengen
countries. Residence permits that were issued in form of stickers before May
20, 2011, keep their validity and applicants can still travel to Denmark. For
further questions please contact the Danish Immigration Service:
