Questions & answers
Asylum in Denmark
Applying for asylum in Denmark is a serious decision, often taken under difficult circumstances. If you fear for your life or your freedom in your home country on grounds of race, religion, political opinion or membership of a particular social group, you may have the right to apply for asylum in Denmark.
Are you going to apply for asylum in Denmark? Then you may use a lawyer of your own choice. Globe Advokater is at your disposal and would be very happy to take on your case.
How do you apply for asylum?
Contact with the police: You must contact the police as soon as possible after arrival in Denmark. The police will register your application and give you information about the asylum process.
Asylum centre: After registration you will be placed in an asylum centre. There you will be offered food, shelter and health services.
Asylum interview: You will be called to an interview with the Danish Immigration Service (Udlændingestyrelsen), where you tell your story and the reasons why you are applying for asylum.
Awaiting the decision: After the interview, the Danish Immigration Service will assess your case and make a decision on whether you are granted asylum or not.
What happens if you are granted asylum?
Residence permit: If you are granted asylum, you receive a residence permit that gives you the right to live in Denmark.
Integration programme: You will be offered an integration programme where you can learn Danish and get help finding work.
What happens if your asylum application is refused?
Removal: If you receive a refusal, you must leave Denmark.
Option to complain: You have the option of complaining about the decision to the Immigration Appeals Board (Udlændingenævnet).
It is important to note that the asylum process can be long and unpredictable. It is therefore a good idea to seek legal advice from a lawyer specialising in immigration law.
Refusal of asylum in Denmark
When the Danish Immigration Service (Udlændingestyrelsen) has given you a refusal on asylum in Denmark, the case is automatically appealed to the Refugee Appeals Board (Flygtningenævnet).
In that connection you have the right to have a lawyer assigned to represent your interests during the Refugee Appeals Board's consideration of your case.
You have an unconditional right to choose your own lawyer. If you do not wish to choose a lawyer yourself, the Refugee Appeals Board will assign one to you.
Legal costs are covered
The costs of the lawyer's work are covered by the Refugee Appeals Board (Flygtningenævnet). You will therefore not be charged any legal costs. This applies regardless of the outcome of the case.
