Application for a Danish residence and work permit for agricultural, veterinary, forestry or horticultural interns
PART 1 – to be filled out by the applicant (the intern)
1. Information about fees
You must pay a fee if you submit an application for a residence permit, for an extension of a residence permit, or for a permanent residence permit in Denmark. The size of the fee depends on which type of application you submit. You can find a list of the current fees on newtodenmark.dk/fee.
All persons who submit an application for a residence and work permit for agricultural, veterinary, forestry or horticultural interns must do the following in the order below:
1. Create a case order ID. Please note: You must state the case order ID in the field below.
2. Pay the fee.
3. Submit the application.
The fee covers the processing of your case. This means that the fee will not be refunded if your application is turned down. 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.
How do I create a case order ID?
Anyone can create a case order ID on newtodenmark.dk/fee. You must clearly state the case order ID in the field below and when paying the fee.
How do I pay the fee?
You can pay the fee in several ways, such as from a Danish internet bank, in the bank or at the post office. On newtodenmark.dk/fee 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 directly to the Citizen Centre of the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration or to the Danish police. Pleaseinclude documentation that you have paid the fee, such as a receipt from a Danish internet bank or a receipt from a bank or post office.
As a Turkish citizen, you may be exempt from paying the feeIf you (the applicant) are a Turkish citizen and are applying for a residence and work permit for interns, you may be exempt from paying the fee. On newtodenmark.dk/fee you can read more about who is exempt from paying the fee. If you are a Turkish citizen and believe that you are exempt from paying the fee, please tick the box next to “Applicant is exempt from paying the fee”. If you do this you do not need to fill in the information required for refunding 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 case order ID. The case order ID you state below must be identical to the case order ID stated when paying the fee. Please include 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 ‘The applicant is exempt from paying the fee’.

1.2 Information required for refunding the fee (in case the fee is to be refunded)
Please give the information required for refunding the fee. The fee can be refunded by transfer to a Danish NEM 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 information necessary in order to receive a transfer from Denmark. In addition to the account information, you may also need to provide the bank’s address.
Please note that for a period of 180 days, your fee cannot be returned to a bank account, if you originally paid the fee with Dankort or credit card. For that period of time the payment can only be returned to the same Dankort or credit card account. After 180 days, your fee can be returned to the bank account specified by you below.

E. Notification that information can be passed on to Danish intelligence agencies and the Danish prosecuting authority
The information and documents that you submit with your application can be passed on to Danish intelligence agencies and the Danish public prosecuting authority. This process can be initiated by SIRI, Danish intelligence agencies or the Danish public prosecutor. The prosecuting authority will be able to use the information to evaluate whether there are grounds for prosecuting you for crimes committed in or outside Denmark, to identify victims of or witnesses to a specific crime, or to aid foreign law enforcement agencies.
F. Notification that some information will be passed on to local Danish authorities
SIRI is permitted to give certain information to the municipality (kommune) in which you settle if you receive a residence permit. Such information includes:
The grounds for issuing you a residence permit.
The municipality will be informed if:

· Your residence permit lapses at some point in the future.
You are granted a permanent residence permit.
G. Notification that Danish authorities have registered information about you and your affairs
The information you supply or have supplied in connection with your application for a residence and work permit will be registered in SIRI’s registers. The same holds true for any information you give in conjunction with an application to extend your residence permit.
If you receive a residence permit and take up residence in Denmark, it will be registered in the Civil Registration System (CPR). The CPR Register is a computerised register maintained by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Interior.
The information in SIRI’s registers and the CPR register will be used to answer questions relating to your residence in Denmark. Public administration authorities (record keeping), the police (record keeping and verification) and the Immigration Appeals Board (reviewing complaints) will have access to the information about you contained in SIRI’s registers and the CPR register.
Other authorities or organisations will receive information about you from SIRI’s registers and the CPR register if they require the information to address questions relating to your residence in Denmark.
You are obligated to provide the information necessary for deciding whether you are eligible for a Danish residence permit. You are entitled to access information about yourself in SIRI’s registers, and you are entitled to object to any information which you believe to be incorrect. Contact the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration, Njalsgade 72C, PO box 2000, DK-2300 Copenhagen S, if we are to correct, delete or block information, which proves to be incorrect.
The fingerprints recorded for use on your residence card will be deleted from SIRI’s registers no later than 90 days after your residence card has been issued or your application has been turned down.
H. Verification and spot-checks
Your case may be selected for a spot-check. The spot-check aims to verify the following:
· The accuracy of the information you have given.
· Whether you meet the conditions for a residence and work permit, if such is granted to you.
Whether you are staying and/or working in Denmark without the necessary permit.
Verification may involve the following:
· Checking public registers, such as the CPR register
· Comparing information contained in SIRI registries with records held by the Central Office of Civil Registration (CPR Office), the Buildings and Housing Registry (BBR) or the income registry
· Contacting other authorities, such as municipalities
· Contacting third parties, such as employers or places of study
· Turning up in person at your residence, place of study or workplace

Biometric features required on residence cards

If you submit your application at the diplomatic mission of a country with which Denmark has a representation agreement, you must appear in person to submit two facial images. Upon arrival in Denmark, your biometric features (digital facial image and fingerprint) will be recorded.
If you send your application by post or fax or if it is submitted by a third-party such as a lawyer, you must appear in person to have your biometric features recorded within 14 daysof the application being submitted. If you reside in a country where Denmark has a representation agreement with another country’s diplomatic mission, you must appear in person to submit two facial images within 14 days of submitting your application. When you appear to have your biometric features recorded or to submit your facial images, please remember to bring a photocopy of the first three pages of your completed application form. This will allow the immigration authorities to match your biometric features with the application. Please note that the processing of your application will not begin until your biometric features are submitted.
Please bring your passport or other form of travel documentation when having your biometric features recorded or when submitting your facial images. In addition to your biometric features, your signature will also be recorded. Facial images and fingerprints are stored on a microchip embedded in the residence card.
Biometric features can be recorded at the Citizen Centre of the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration. If you live outside Greater Copenhagen, your biometric features can also be recorded at some police stations. A list of the police stations capable of recording biometric features can be found atwww.newtodenmark.dk/residencecardIf you live abroad, the website of the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs contains a list of embassies and consulates, as well as Danish representation agreements with other countries’ diplomatic missions (um.dk).
If you do not agree to have your biometric features recorded in connection with the application being submitted in Denmark or at a Danish diplomatic mission, your application will be rejected. If the application is submitted at another country’s diplomatic mission with which Denmark has a representation agreement, and you do not submit two facial images, it will likewise be rejected. If you are not physically capable of providing fingerprints, you will not be required to do so.
