How to apply for residence permit

There are various categories of residence and work permits available for Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands. These categories include Salaried Work, Au Pair, Student, Internship, Family Reunification, and more. You will find all relevant information on the main website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark.

Apply for a residence permit online

Applicants are strongly encouraged to follow the standard procedure for submitting a residence/work permit application by applying through the Danish Embassy in Manila's official partner Visa Application Center (VFS).


Did you hand in your application directly in Denmark, in Greenland, or in the Faroe Islands?

To move forward with your application, please make a payment of DKK 1,700 to the Embassy in Manila through our webshop.

It's important to note that fees paid on the website Newtodenmark.dk
do not cover the services provided by the Danish Embassy in Manila.

If the Embassy hasn't received the fee, any requests for additional information or documentation from the Danish Immigration Service or the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) will be put on hold.

The Embassy will resume processing these requests once the fee payment is officially registered as paid. This aligns with Section 4 (1) of The Executive Order on Payment for Services Provided by the Danish Foreign Service, as the case is considered to have been transferred to the Embassy.

The fee is not refunded, regardless of whether the application is approved or not.
