Denmark Extends Ukraine Temporary Residence Permits Through March 2028

  • Denmark has extended residence permits issued under the Ukraine Special Act through March 17, 2028, with eligible permit holders receiving automatic extensions if they continue to meet existing requirements.  

Ukrainian Temporary Residence Permit Permissions Extended  

The Danish Minister for Immigration and Integration has implemented new rules allowing residence permits granted under the Act on Temporary Residence Permits for Persons Displaced from Ukraine (Ukraine Special Act) to be extended through March 17, 2028. Eligible individuals currently holding residence permits under the Special Act may benefit from the extension if they continue to satisfy the conditions of their existing permit. 

Automatic Residence Permit Extension Process 

Under the new measures: 

  • The Danish Immigration Service will automatically assess eligible cases for extension.  
  • Individuals do not need to submit a separate application to extend their residence permit.  
  • Permit holders who continue to meet the applicable requirements will have their permits extended automatically.  
  • New residence cards will be mailed directly to eligible individuals once processing is complete.  

Applicants will not need to provide new biometric data, such as fingerprints or photographs, for the issuance of the updated residence card. 

Processing Timeline 

The Danish Immigration Service has indicated that it will begin processing extension cases as soon as possible and aims to finalize most applications before March 17, 2027, when many current permits expire.

If the Service does not complete an extension case before the existing permit expires, affected individuals may continue to remain in Denmark and retain their current rights until the Service issues a final decision.

Extension Notification Procedures 

Permit holders will receive notification once the Danish Immigration Service makes a decision. Authorities may contact individuals if they require additional information to determine eligibility for extension. Authorities will send communications through Denmark’s Digital Post system.
