1. Fee
Normally, you have to pay a fee to submit an application for family reunification of spouse.

The fee covers the processing of your case. This means that the fee will not be refunded if your application is rejected.
Furthermore, the fee will not be refunded if, during the processing of your case, you choose to withdraw your application. If
you have not paid the fee your application will be rejected, which means that it will not be processed. If your application is
rejected for any other reason, the fee will be refunded minus an administration fee. Read more about fees at
[Link]/fee.

How to pay
To pay the fee you have to complete the following steps in order:
1. Create a case order ID at with the case type ‘Family reunification’
2. Pay the fee. Please note: Certain applicants may be exempt from paying the fee. These persons must still create a
case order ID.
3. Enter your case order ID in section 1.1 of this part of the form.
4. Enclose documentation of payment of fee.

If you have already created a case order ID and paid the fee, you can go directly to section 1.1. If not, you can read more
about how to do it below.

How is a case order ID created?

Everyone can create a case order ID at [Link]. You can create it at the relevant application page at
[Link]/you-want-to-apply/family. Choose the subtopic ’Family reunification’ and then ’Spouse or partner’.

How is a fee paid?

You can pay the fee in several ways for example with a credit or debit card, from a Danish internet bank, in the bank or at
the post office. At the page on [Link] where you created the case order ID, you can choose how you wish to
pay, and you can see which information is required when paying the fee. Please note: The fee must be paid no later than
at the same time the application is submitted. In most cases, this means that the fee will need to be paid before the
application is submitted. Only a few Danish diplomatic missions will allow you to pay the fee when you submit your
application. You cannot pay the fee at the Immigration Service’s Citizen Service. Please enclose documentation of the
payment e.g. a receipt from a transfer via your net bank or a receipt from your bank or a post office.

Who is exempt from paying a fee?

There may be special cases where you (the applicant) can submit an application for family reunification without paying the
fee. This may be the case if your sponsor in Denmark has refugee status, is seriously ill or has a serious handicap. You may
also be exempt from paying the fee if your sponsor has a child from a previous relationship who he/she is residing with or
your sponsor sees the child on a regular basis. Furthermore, you may be exempt from paying the fee if your sponsor is a
Turkish citizen who is economically active as an employee, self-employed person or service provider. At
[Link]/fee you can read more about who is exempt from paying the fee.

If you believe, you are exempt from paying the fee, please tick the box “I am exempt from paying the fee”. When you
create a case order ID, please state that you are exempt from paying the fee. Please note: if the immigration authorities
decide that you are in fact not exempt from paying the fee, your application will be rejected, which means that it will not be
processed. However, if you have paid the fee and the immigration authorities decide that you are in fact exempt from
paying the fee, the fee will be refunded.

1.1 Case order ID

Please state your (the applicant) case order ID. The case order ID you state below must be identical to the case order ID
stated when paying the fee. Please enclose documentation that you have paid the fee. If you believe that you are exempt
from paying the fee, please enter your case order ID and tick the box next to ‘I am exempt from paying the fee’.
Case order ID I am exempt from paying the fee

1.2 Information required for refunding the fee (in case the fee is to be refunded)
PLEASE COMPLETE IN CAPITAL LETTERS
Give the information required for refunding the fee, if applicable. The fee can be refunded by transfer to a Danish Easy
Account (‘NEM-konto’), a Danish bank account, a foreign bank account, or in cash at a Danish diplomatic mission. Diplomatic
missions can only repay fees in cash if the fee was originally paid there. Please state the name of the person to whom the
refund should be paid (account holder/recipient), how you wish to receive the money, and any required information.

If the refund is to be paid to a foreign bank account, we recommend that you speak with your bank first to obtain the

4. Information about your spouse/cohabiting partner

PLEASE COMPLETE IN CAPITAL LETTERS
Normally permission for family reunification cannot be granted if it is doubtful whether the marriage/cohabitation has been
mutually agreed to by both parties.

If you and your spouse/cohabitating partner are closely related, the Immigration Service will consider it doubtful that the
marriage/cohabitation has been entered into with the consent of both parties, unless special reasons suggest otherwise.
Below you can state any reasons you believe contradict the assumption that your marriage/cohabitation has not been
entered into voluntarily by you and your partner.
Are you and your spouse/cohabiting partner closely related? By closely related we mean e.g. uncles and aunts, cousins, the
children of cousins, cousins of parents and the grandchildren of grandparents’ brothers and sisters. This also includes close
relatives of stepparents (by stepparents we mean individuals who act like a mother or a father without being a biological
parent, e.g. foster parents).

If yes, you must inform who? (Given names(s) and surname):

8. About your marriage PLEASE COMPLETE IN CAPITAL LETTERS

You only need to fill out section 8 if you are married. If you are not married, go to section 9.

Danish legislation requires that we determine whether:

• Your marriage is valid under Danish laws.
• The marriage is entered into at the will of both spouses.
• The marriage is pro forma, i.e. with the primary reason of obtaining a residence permit for you.

Please note: According to Danish law marriages conducted by proxy (where one or both spouses were not present during
the ceremony) are invalid. Marriages conducted by a religious cleric and without legal authority are also considered invalid.
Such marriages can therefore not be used as a basis for family reunification.

The questions below are intended to help us look into this. We ask these questions in all cases, and we only ask questions
that can be relevant for processing an application for family reunification for spouses.

Danish legislation requires that we determine whether:

• Your marriage is valid under Danish laws.
• The marriage is entered into at the will of both spouses.
• The marriage is pro forma, i.e. with the primary reason of obtaining a residence permit for you.

Please note: According to Danish law marriages conducted by proxy (where one or both spouses were not present during
the ceremony) are invalid. Marriages conducted by a religious cleric and without legal authority are also considered invalid.
Such marriages can therefore not be used as a basis for family reunification.

The questions below are intended to help us look into this. We ask these questions in all cases, and we only ask questions
that can be relevant for processing an application for family reunification for spouses.
When did you first meet your spouse?

How did you meet your spouse?

If you and your spouse met on the internet, when did you meet for the first time in person?

Did you decide for yourselves that you should marry?

Do you and your spouse/cohabitating partner have common children under the age of 18 together who are living at home
with you in Denmark?

Yes No

If yes, provide the following information about each child:

7. Children from previous relationships living in Denmark PLEASE COMPLETE IN CAPITAL LETTERS
Below are a series of questions about any children you may have from any previous relationships. The questions about
children from previous relationships are asked to determine whether you are exempt from some of the requirements for
family reunification of spouses (e.g. the collateral requirement).

If you have children from a previous relationship, please note that we may contact the other parent of these children in
order to confirm the information you have given.
Do you have children under the age of 18 from a previous relationship living in Denmark?

Yes No

If no, go to section 8.A.

If you request that the Immigration Service not take your children from a previous relationship into consideration when
processing your case, please state this below. If you state this, it will not be necessary for the Immigration Service to
contact the other parent of your children from a previous relationship. However, you should note that the consequence will
be that the Immigration Service will not be able to exempt you from some of the requirements on the grounds of
your children from a previous relationship. In other words, you will be expected to meet all the normal requirements
for family reunification. For example, you and your spouse/cohabitating partner must fulfil an integration requirement, you
may not have received public assistance, you must have a suitably large residence and you must post a monetary
guarantee.

I do not wish for the Immigration Service to take into consideration that I have a child from a previous marriage. I
understand that this means that I normally will be required to meet all conditions for family reunification.

About sections 8.A-B, 9 and 10

There are some basic requirements that must be met in order to qualify for a family reunification for spouses in Denmark. The
requirements are e.g. that the marriage must be valid. This is the reason why everyone has to answer the questions in section
1-7.

Normally, you and your spouse/cohabiting partner must meet a number of additional requirements in order for your
spouse/cohabiting partner to qualify for a residence permit. Such requirements include that you fulfil an integration
requirement, that you have a reasonably sized residence at your disposal and that you post a monetary guarantee. Sections
8.A-B, 9 and 10 ask questions relating to these matters.

Situations where certain additional requirements are not made

Everyone has the right to respect for private and family life. It is implied in article 8 of the European Convention for Protection
of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. Normally we will not put forward any other requirements than the basic
requirements for family reunification if we assess that you do not live as a family in any other country. This can for instance be
if you have custody of or rights to visitation with a child under the age of 18 living in Denmark. It is a requirement,
however, that visitation occurs and that the visitations have a c-ertain extend.

If you are employed in a field listed on the Positive List, the Immigration Service can waive the 24-year requirement. If you
would like the Immigration Service to take into account that your position is included on the Positive List, please fill out section
8.B and enclose documentation in the form of your academic diploma and employment contract, or an actual job offer. You
can read more about which fields are included on the Positive List at [Link].

Determining whether you are exempt from the additional requirements for reunification with a spouse can be difficult. If you
choose not to complete sections 8.A-B, 9 and 10, and the Immigration Service later determines that you are not exempt from
the requirements, it will be necessary for us to obtain further information. This means that the processing time may be longer.
Therefore, we recommend that you fill out sections 8.A-B, 9 and 10 regardless of your situation.

8.A Employment, education and language skills PLEASE COMPLETE IN CAPITAL LETTERS
Normally, it is a requirement for residence permit, that you and your spouse or partner meet an integration requirement. You
meet this requirement together by meeting 4 out of 6 integration-related conditions. One of the conditions is not optional.
Besides that condition, you will need to meet 3 out of 5 other conditions.

The 6 conditions are:

• You have passed the Danish language test 3, or a test that are equivalent to or at a higher level (must always be met –
not optional).
• You have had fulltime employment or been self-employed in Denmark for a minimum of 5 years.
• You have attended school for a minimum of 6 years, with at least 1 of the 6 years being secondary education.
• Your spouse or partner has passed a Danish language test 1 or an English test at B1 level, or another Danish or English test
that are equivalent to or at a higher level.
• Your spouse or partner has had fulltime employment or been self-employed for a minimum of 3 years within the last 5
years.
• Your spouse or partner has passed an educational course with the duration of at least 1 year, at a level minimum equivalent
to a Danish vocational education.

It is up to you yourselves to decide which 3 of the 5 optional conditions you want to include in to the assessment of whether
you meet the integration requirement. Therefor it is only necessary for you to enclose documentation for your education and/or
work, if you wish that those specific conditions are part of the assessment of whether you meet the requirement.

Read more about the integration requirement and the specific conditions at [Link]/integrationrequirement

may contact the employers or the educational institutions that you have stated in section 8.A, in order to get your
information confirmed.

Below you must give your consent to us contacting your employers and/or educational institutions. If you do not give your
consent, it can result in you not meeting the integration-related conditions about employment and education.

I hereby consent that the Immigration Service can contact the employer(s) stated in section 8.A in order to get my
employment(s) confirmed.

I hereby consent that the Immigration Service can contact the educational institution(s) stated in section 8.A in order to
get my educational course(s) confirmed.

9. Declaration regarding public assistance PLEASE COMPLETE IN CAPITAL LETTERS

Normally, it is a requirement that you are able to support yourself if your spouse/cohabitating partner is to be granted a
residence permit. This means that you cannot have received public assistance under the terms of the Active Social Policy Act
(lov om aktiv socialpolitik) or the Integration Act (integrationsloven) for the last three years prior to the ruling of the
residence permit (Aliens Act section 9 (5). The requirement does not apply if the benefits are small, one-time benefits that
are not related to assistance or benefits that are comparable to wages or a pension or the equivalent.

Examples of benefits granted under the terms of the Active Social Policy Act or the Integration Act, and therefore
will have an influence on whether your spouse/cohabitating partner can be granted a residence permit:
• Social Security (kontanthjælp)
• Integration benefits (integrationsydelse)
• Danish Start Help (starthjælp)
• Rehabilitation benefits (revalideringsydelse)

Examples of benefits that do not have an influence on whether you spouse/cohabitating partner can be granted a
residence permit:
• Student grants (SU)
• Benefits paid during periods of unemployment (arbejdsløshedsdagpenge), illness (sygedagpenge) or paternity leave
(barselsdagpenge)
• Pension (including early aged pension and old aged pension)
• Housing assistance (boligstøtte) granted under the terms of Individual Housing Assistance Act (lov om individuel
boligstøtte)
• Financial support granted to an employer upon hiring you in a wage subsidies (løntilskud) or flexjob (fleksjob)
position
• Full subsidised places for children in day-care (friplads)
• Tax-free educational grant
• Danish language profit (Danskbonus)

Below you must solemnly swear on whether you have received public benefits under the terms of the Active Social Policy Act
or the Integration Act for the last three years regardless of the size of the benefit. Thereafter the Immigration Service will
access if the benefit (if applicable) is covered by the self-support requirement.

If it is required that you are able to support yourself, your spouse’s/cohabitating partner’s residence permit can be revoked
if you receive public benefits under the terms of the Active Social Policy Act or the Integration Act until your
spouse/cohabitating partner has been granted a permanent residence permit.

Please note, the Immigration Service will obtain information from the income registry (eIndkomst) when the application is
being processed regarding whether you have received benefits under the terms of the Active Social Policy Act or the
Integration Act. If there is an inconsistency between your information and the information from the income registry, you will
be asked to submit comments.

Furthermore you should note that you will be punished with a fine or imprisonment of up to two years if the information
you have provided is found to be false (Criminal Code section 161, cf. Section 40).

permit and the Immigration Service finds that he/she no longer meets the requirements of his/her residence permit, his/her
permit may be revoked. Verification may be conducted at random and is not necessarily an indication that the Immigration
Service suspects you of providing false information, or suspects the applicant of not meeting the requirements of his/her
residence permit.

Verification may involve the following:

• Checking public registers, such as the Civil Registration System
• Comparison of information contained in the Danish immigration authorities' registers with records held by the Central
Office of Civil Registration (CPR Office), the Buildings and Housing Registry (BBR) or the income registry (eIndkomst)
• Contacting other authorities, such as municipalities
• Contacting third parties, such as employers or places of study

This declaration is only to be filled out if you are not married to the applicant or if your marriage can not be recognized by
Danish law.

If you are married to the applicant, Danish law requires you to financially support your spouse.

If you are not married to the applicant, you must accept the obligation to financially support your cohabiting partner.

If we asses that your marriage cannot be recognized by Danish law, we will assess whether you can be regarded as
cohabitating partners. You have to accept the obligation to support the applicant if the applicant is to be granted a residence
permit on the grounds of cohabitation.

By signing this declaration, you agree to accept this obligation.

If your cohabiting partner is granted a residence permit, we will send a copy of this declaration to the municipality
(kommune) in which you live.

If you are currently residing abroad, we will send a copy of the declaration to the municipality where you plan to live.

Aliens Act.

I understand that signing this declaration is a requirement for my cohabiting partner to be granted a residence permit
(section 9(3) or section 9c(1) (ii) of the Aliens Act).

Furthermore, I am aware that if my cohabiting partner receives public assistance under the terms of the Active Social Policy
Act or the Integration Act, that the local council (kommunalbestyrelsen) will require that I reimburse the municipality
(kommune), and that if I fail to pay, the local council will collect payment from me in accordance with legislation governing
the collection of income tax (Aliens Act section 9(26)).

Finally, I am aware that if my cohabiting partner requires long-term assistance, the Danish Immigration Service can decide
to expatriate him/her (section 3 of the Active Social Policy Act). If this occurs, my cohabiting partner’s residence permit will
be revoked (section 18 of the Aliens Act).

betingelser, der er overført fra reglerne om permanent
opholdstilladelse. Du skal udfylde dette bilag, for at Du skal også opfylde mindst 1 ud af 3 følgende supplerende
Udlændingestyrelsen kan vurdere, hvorvidt du opfylder betingelser for permanent ophold:
disse overførte betingelser. • Du skal have bestået medborgerskabsprøven eller have
udvist aktivt medborgerskab i Danmark.
• Du skal have haft ordinær fuldtidsbeskæftigelse eller
udøvet selvstændig erhvervsvirksomhed i mindst 4 år
inden for de sidste 4 år og 6 måneder.
• Du skal have haft en årlig skattepligtig indkomst på
gennemsnitlig 292.256,49 kr. (2020-niveau) eller derover
de sidste 2 år.

1. Persongrupper, der har et stærkt tilknytningsforhold til Danmark

Har du opholdstilladelse i Danmark på baggrund af tidligere dansk statsborgerskab (indfødsret), dansk afstamning
eller tilhørsforhold til det danske mindretal i Sydslesvig eller Argentina?

Ja Nej
Hvis ja, behøver du kun udfylde pkt. 2, 12 og 13.

2. Erklæring på tro og love om gæld til det offentlige

Du må ikke have forfalden gæld til det offentlige. Gæld er forfalden, når det tidspunkt, hvor det offentlige har krav på
betaling af gælden eller dele heraf, er overskredet.

Du kan dog opfylde de overførte betingelser for permanent opholdstilladelse på trods af forfalden gæld til det offentlige, hvis
den manglende afvikling af den forfaldne gæld skyldes, at der er givet henstand med gælden. Det er dog en forudsætning,
at gælden ikke overstiger 118.566,38 kr. (2020-niveau).

Følgende typer gæld er omfattet:

• Tilbagebetalingspligtige ydelser efter lov om social service eller lov om aktiv socialpolitik.
• Forskudsvis udbetalt børnebidrag.
• Daginstitutionsbetaling.
• Tilbagebetaling af for meget udbetalt boligstøtte.
• Tilbagebetaling af boligtilskudslån.
• Skatter og afgifter (medmindre skatte- eller afgiftsrestancen skyldes forhold, der ikke kan lægges ansøgeren til last).

Det har ingen betydning, om der er aftalt en afdragsordning, som overholdes, da det ikke er det samme som henstand.

(sæt kryds)
A. Jeg erklærer på tro og love, at jeg ikke har forfalden gæld til det offentlige, som er omfattet af ovenstående
gældstyper.

B. Jeg erklærer på tro og love, at jeg har forfalden gæld til det offentlig, som er omfattet af ovenstående gældstyper.

du skal erklære på tro og love, hvor stor en gæld du har til det offentlige.

C. Jeg erklærer på tro og love, at der er givet henstand med betaling af min gæld. Bemærk, at afdragsordning ikke er
det samme som henstand.

Hvis du tilhører en af nedenstående ansøgergrupper, vil det overførte krav om arbejde blive fraveget.
Modtager du førtidspension?

Hvis ja, skal du vedlægge dokumentation i form af kommunens afgørelse om modtagelse af førtidspension.

Har du nået folkepensionsalderen?

Ja Nej

ændringerne.

7. Erklæring på tro og love om modtagelse af offentlig hjælp UDFYLDES MED BLOKBOGSTAVER

For at opfylde de overførte betingelser for permanent opholdstilladelse må du som udgangspunkt ikke have modtaget
offentlig hjælp efter lov om aktiv socialpolitik eller integrationsloven inden for de seneste 4 år fra indgivelsen af ansøgningen
om ægtefællesammenføring, og indtil dine ægtefælle får opholdstilladelse.

Du kan se eksempler på, hvilke ydelser der gives efter lov om aktiv socialpolitik eller integrationsloven under pkt. 9 i FA1b –

 FA1FA1akke

Har du haft en årlig skattepligtig indkomst på gennemsnitligt 292.256,68 kr. eller derover de seneste 2 år?

Nej
Hvis ja, skal du vedlægge dokumentation i form af dine seneste 2 årsopgørelser fra SKAT og dine lønsedler fra i år.
Dokumentationen kan også være i form af en erklæring fra de danske skattemyndigheder, hvis en del af indtægten er
udbetalt i udlandet.

9. Medborgerskab UDFYLDES MED BLOKBOGSTAVER

Du kan opfylde den supplerende betingelse, hvis du enten har bestået medborgerskabsprøven eller har udvist aktivt
medborgerskab her i landet gennem mindst 1 års deltagelse i bestyrelser, organisationer mv.

Medborgerskabsprøven
Medborgerskabsprøven er en skriftlig prøve, som afholdes 2 gange om året – i juni og i december. Prøven er udformet som
en multiple choice-test og indeholder 25 spørgsmål om det danske folkestyre og hverdagsliv, samt om dansk kultur og
historie.

På [Link]/arbejdsomrader kan du under området ’Danskundervisning og prøver for udlændinge’ læse mere om, hvor
og hvornår medborgerskabsprøven kan tages, og hvordan du tilmelder dig prøven. På [Link] kan du også finde
læremateriale til prøven.

Bemærk, at tidligere beståede medborgerskabsprøver fra før 2016 ikke opfylder den supplerende betingelse om
medborgerskab.

Aktivt medborgerskab
For at opfylde den supplerende betingelse om medborgerskab ved at have udvist aktivt medborgerskab, skal du have haft
mindst 1 års deltagelse i en bestyrelse, organisation eller lignende.

Det kan fx være som medlem af en forældrebestyrelse, en skolebestyrelse, bestyrelsen for en almennyttig boligorganisation,
et integrationsråd eller et ældreråd.

Du kan også opfylde betingelsen, hvis du har deltaget i børne- eller ungdomsarbejde, fx ved at fungere som træner i en
idrætsforening eller ved at gennemføre en dommer- eller træneruddannelse. Det samme gælder deltagelse i et
højskoleophold, rollemodelarbejde eller engagement i andre organiserede fritidsaktiviteter for børn og unge, fx lektiehjælp.

Endelig kan du også opfylde betingelsen, hvis du i øvrigt har deltaget i almennyttigt organisationsarbejde, fx hvis du aktivt
har deltaget i en forenings drift. De almennyttige foreninger kan fx være foreninger, der er tilskudsberettiget efter
folkeoplysningsloven. Der vil dog altid være tale om en konkret vurdering.
Det er i alle tilfælde et krav, at der er tale om bestyrelser, organisationer, foreninger mv., som i ord og handling
understøtter grundlæggende demokratiske værdier og retsprincipper i det danske samfund. Du kan læse mere om, hvordan
du kan opfylde betingelsen om aktivt medborgerskab på [Link]/permanent

Har du bestået medborgerskabsprøven?

Ja (vedlæg dokumentation)

Nej
Hvis ja, skal du vedlægge dokumentation for bestået prøve i form af prøvebevis udstedt af prøveafholdere.
Har du udvist aktivt medborgerskab ved at have haft mindst 1 års deltagelse i en bestyrelse, organisation eller lignende?

Ja (vedlæg dokumentation)

Nej
Hvis ja, skal du vedlægge dokumentation for dit aktive medborgerskab. Dette kan fx være i form af en udtalelse fra
bestyrelsen eller organisationen. Det kan også være i form af beviser for uddannelse eller kurser, som du har taget i
forbindelse med deltagelse i bestyrelses- eller organisationsarbejdet.

10. Handicap og eventuelle andre forhold UDFYLDES MED BLOKBOGSTAVER

I det omfang Danmarks internationale forpligtelser, herunder FN’s Handicapkonvention, tilsiger det, vil en eller flere af de
overførte betingelser for permanent opholdstilladelse kunne fraviges.

Dette er fx muligt, hvis du har et handicap, der forhindrer dig i at opfylde en eller flere af betingelserne.

The Danish Immigration Service – Tel.: +45 35 36 66 00 – [Link]

Page 40 of 46
 FA1FA1akke

Har du et handicap, der forhindrer dig i opfyldelse af en eller flere af de overførte betingelser for permanent
opholdstilladelse?

Ja Nej

Hvis ja, hvilket handicap, og hvordan forhindrer det dig i at opfylde en eller flere af betingelserne?

Du skal vedlægge dokumentation – fx i form af lægeerklæring eller lignende – for, at du har et handicap, som bevirker, at
du ikke kan opfylde de overførte betingelser for permanent opholdstilladelse.
Er der andre forhold, som Udlændingestyrelsen bør være opmærksom på i forbindelse med behandlingen af ansøgningen om
ægtefællesammenføring?

Ja Nej

Hvis ja, hvilke forhold?

Du skal vedlægge relevant dokumentation.

11. Opholds- og selvforsørgelseserklæring

For at opfylde de overførte betingelser for permanent opholdstilladelse er det et krav, at du har afgivet nedenstående
opholds- og selvforsørgelseserklæring. Hvis du ikke sætter kryds i erklæringen eller på anden vis tilkendegiver og
dokumenterer, at du accepterer indholdet af erklæringen, kan det derfor få indflydelse på din ægtefælle/samlevers
ansøgning om familiesammenføring, og du må forvente, at han/hun får afslag.

Hvis du på anden vis har tilkendegivet at acceptere indholdet af erklæringen, skal du vedlægge dokumentation herfor.
(sæt kryds)

Jeg erklærer herved, at jeg vil arbejde aktivt for at sikre min egen og mine herboende børns og
ægtefælles/samlevers selvforsørgelse, aktive deltagelse i og bidrag til det danske samfund.

Jeg erklærer derfor følgende:

• Jeg vil på alle måder overholde den danske lovgivning og respektere de danske demokratiske principper.
• Jeg anerkender, at det danske sprog og kendskabet til det danske samfund er nøglen til en god og aktiv tilværelse i
Danmark.
• Jeg anerkender, at de enkelte borgere og familier har ansvar for at forsørge sig selv.
• Jeg anerkender, at mænd og kvinder har lige pligter og rettigheder i Danmark, og at både mænd og kvinder skal
bidrage til samfundet. Mænd og kvinder har således den samme ret – og i visse tilfælde pligt – til at uddanne sig og
arbejde, ligesom mænd og kvinder har den samme ret til at deltage i demokratiske processer. Både mænd og kvinder
har pligt til at betale skat og varetage forældreansvaret over for deres børn.
• Jeg ved, at det i Danmark er strafbart at udøve vold mod og ulovlig tvang over ægtefælle og andre, herunder børn.
• Jeg anerkender, at der i Danmark skal være lige respekt og udfoldelsesmuligheder for alle børn – både piger og drenge
– så de kan vokse op til at blive aktive og ansvarlige medborgere, der er i stand til at træffe deres egne valg. Jeg vil
sikre, at mine børn får den bedst mulige opvækst og skolegang samt, at de aktivt deltager i det danske samfund.
Blandt andet vil jeg sørge for, at mit barn lærer dansk så tidligt som muligt og dygtiggør sig gennem skoleforløbet, og
jeg vil samarbejde aktivt med barnets daginstitution eller skole.
• Jeg ved, at omskæring af piger samt brug af tvang ved ægteskabsindgåelse er strafbare handlinger i Danmark.
• Jeg respekterer det enkelte menneskes frihed og personlige integritet, kønnenes ligestilling og tros- og ytringsfriheden,
som er grundlæggende i Danmark.
• Jeg ved, at diskrimination på grund af bl.a. køn eller hudfarve og trusler og hån mod grupper på grund af bl.a. tro eller
seksuel orientering er strafbare handlinger i Danmark.
• Jeg anerkender, at det danske samfund tager skarpt afstand fra terrorisme. Jeg ved, at den, som er vidende om, at
der tilsigtes begået en forbrydelse, der medfører fare for menneskers liv eller velfærd eller for betydelige
samfundsværdier, som udgangspunkt har pligt til at gøre, hvad der står i hans eller hendes magt, for at forebygge
forbrydelsen eller dens følger, om fornødent ved politianmeldelse, og at
• undladelse heraf kan straffes med bøde eller fængsel indtil 3 år, hvis forbrydelsen bliver begået eller forsøgt begået.
• Jeg anerkender, at aktivt engagement er en forudsætning for at kunne deltage i og bidrage til det danske samfund,
uanset hvor længe mit ophold her i landet måtte vare.
• Jeg ved, at rammerne for mit ophold i Danmark defineres af mit opholdsgrundlag, hvor der for nogle grupper i
udgangspunktet er tale om et midlertidigt ophold.
• Jeg ved, at man som flygtning som udgangspunkt ikke har krav på opholdstilladelse, hvis forholdene i ens hjemland

The Danish Immigration Service – Tel.: +45 35 36 66 00 – [Link]

Page 41 of 46
 FA1FA1akke

har ændret sig på en sådan måde, at beskyttelsesbehovet ikke længere er til stede, og man kan vende hjem. Jeg ved,
at man som familiesammenført til en flygtning som udgangspunkt ikke har krav på opholdstilladelse, hvis den
herboende flygtnings beskyttelsesbehov ikke længere er til stede. Jeg ved, at en midlertidig opholdstilladelse derfor
kan inddrages eller nægtes forlænget.
• Jeg ved, at aktiv deltagelse, det at bidrage til det danske samfund og en indsats for at forsørge mig selv også kan
være en styrke i forhold til at skulle vende tilbage til mit hjemland.
• Jeg ved, at man som herboende udlænding kan ansøge om økonomisk støtte efter repatrieringsloven til at rejse hjem
til sit oprindelige hjemland eller tidligere opholdsland, hvis man på et tidspunkt skulle ønske dette.

Jeg er – som nyankommet udlænding – herudover bekendt med, at det for nyankomne udlændinge gælder, at:
(nedenstående punkter er alene relevante for nyankomne udlændinge, der underskriver erklæringen)
• Jeg vil lære dansk og tilegne mig viden om det danske samfund hurtigst muligt. Jeg ved, at jeg kan lære dansk ved at
deltage i den danskuddannelse, som kommunen tilbyder mig.
• Jeg vil arbejde på at blive selvforsørgende gennem deltagelse på arbejdsmarkedet hurtigst muligt. Jeg ved, at det kan
hjælpe mig til at opnå ordinær beskæftigelse og blive selvforsørgende, at jeg deltager i de aktiviteter, som er
beskrevet i min kontrakt med kommunen.
• Jeg ved, at forlængelse af min opholdstilladelse er betinget af, at grundlaget for opholdstilladelsen fortsat er til stede,
og at man som flygtning som udgangspunkt ikke har krav på opholdstilladelse, hvis beskyttelsesbehovet ikke længere
er til stede, og man kan vende hjem. Jeg ved, at man som familiesammenført til en flygtning som udgangspunkt ikke
har krav på opholdstilladelse, hvis den herboende flygtnings beskyttelsesbehov ikke længere er til stede.

Jeg ønsker ikke at udfylde opholds- og selvforsørgelseserklæringen.

12. Erklæring
Erklæring på tro og love om, at de oplysninger, jeg har givet, er korrekte
Jeg erklærer på tro og love, at jeg har givet sande oplysninger i dette bilag.

We process the following types of data about you:
• General personal data, such as: information about your identity; citizenship and nationality; travel routes; information about
