freedom of movement in the EU

info: Denmark

Laws

Government Information

  • Information for EU and Nordic Citizens (this is a bit lacking on details, especially about handling of family members)
  • Some excellent information about movement of Danish citizens and their non-EU family to Denmark after they have been working in other EU member states

Problems

SOLVIT Denmark obtains adaptation of Danish rules on visa for non-EU family members of EU citizens

The Danish authorities refused to issue a visa to the Chinese wife of a British resident who wanted to accompany her husband on a visit to Denmark, because they could not provide a reference in Denmark who would confirm the reasons for the visit. SOLVIT Denmark contacted the Danish authorities who finally regretted not to have taken into consideration the existing EU rules and subsequently granted a visa to the Chinese citizen. Furthermore, the memorandum of practice by which the authorities have specified the rules and conditions for granting visas was adjusted according to the EU regulation in order to avoid similar problems in the future.
