Denmark extends Ukrainian refugees' residence permits until March 2025

MOSCOW. Nov 13 (Interfax) - Denmark's Ministry of Immigration and Integration had decided to extend the residence permits issued to Ukrainians under temporary protection in Denmark until March 17, 2025, Ukrainian media said, citing information on the website of the Ukrainian Reintegration Ministry and the website of the Danish Immigration Service for foreigners.

"The Immigration Service will automatically assess whether a residence permit under the Special Act can be extended. If the holder still complies with the requirements laid down in their current residence permit, the residence permit will be automatically extended. The holder will receive a new residence card by mail and does not have to have their biometric features recorded for the new residence card," it said.

In March 2022, the Danish government adopted a law granting temporary residence permits to people displaced from Ukraine, thus enabling Ukrainian asylum seekers to legalize their presence in the country and to receive a number of social rights.
