Denmark Family Reunification Visa
The Denmark Family Reunification Visa allows a spouse, registered partner, or other eligible family member of a person residing in Denmark to apply for a residence permit to join their sponsor. Applications are processed by the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) via newtodenmark.dk. For spouse and partner cases, Denmark applies detailed integration-related conditions, including a housing requirement, a self-support requirement for the sponsor, and a financial guarantee that the sponsor must lodge with the Danish authorities. Denmark also applies a minimum age rule (24 years) in ordinary spouse cases. As with all Denmark visa and residence categories, the decision to approve a Family Reunification application rests solely with SIRI or the Danish Immigration Service, based on the sponsor’s status and the documentation submitted.
Eligibility
- Applicant is an eligible family member (typically spouse, registered partner, or minor child) of a sponsor residing in Denmark
- Both spouses/partners are generally required to be at least 24 years old in ordinary spouse cases
- Sponsor meets housing, self-support, and financial guarantee requirements
- Applicant and sponsor together generally must meet a set number of integration-related conditions
- Applicant holds a valid passport or travel document
- Applicant is able to provide biometric data as part of the process

Fee and guarantee amounts are reviewed annually; confirm the current figures directly on newtodenmark.dk before submission. Information may vary depending on individual circumstances.
Denmark Visa Processing Time
According to SIRI’s published guidance, spouse and partner Family Reunification applications have an expected maximum processing time of approximately seven months from a complete submission. Processing time depends on verification of the sponsor’s status, the relationship documentation, the housing and income requirements, and the completeness of the application. Because the financial guarantee and integration conditions involve detailed documentation, applicants are strongly advised to review the current requirements on newtodenmark.dk and apply as early as possible. If approved, family members generally receive a residence permit that is renewable, subject to continued eligibility.
