Permanent residence permit
Whether an applicant may be eligible to receive a time-unlimited —or permanent— residence permit in Denmark depends on what type of residence permit he or she already has.

If the individual has held a residence permit as an independent entrepreneur, paid employee or student pursuing a post-secondary educational programme, and if he or she has resided in Denmark without interruption for the past 7 years, he or she will normally be eligible for a time-unlimited residence permit in Denmark.

The Danish Immigration Service decides whether or not an applicant is eligible for a permanent residence permit based on a thorough assessment of all available information. The following requirements must be met:

The basis for the residence permit must have been largely the same throughout all 7 years, and the original requirements for the residence permit must still prevail.
The applicant must have passed a special Danish language test.
The applicant must not have been sentenced to over 2 years' in prison for serious crimes, for example, drug offences, human smuggling, murder, assault or rape. If the applicant has been sentenced to a probationary sentence for a lesser crime, the time at which he or she will be eligible for a permanent residence permit will be postponed.
The applicant must not have defaulted on any public debt.
These rules for permanent residence permits apply to all individuals who have applied for a residence permit from and after 28 February 2002. Individuals who submitted applications prior to this date will be subject to the old rules for permanent residence permits. Information on the old rules can be obtained by contacting the Danish Immigration Service.
