What to do if you leaving country temporary or for uncertain period of time with possibility to comeback?
If you leave Denmark for an extended period of time, or if you no longer maintain a residence in Denmark, your residence permit can lapse.
It is highly recommended that you maintain records of your current documentation in Denmark to reactivate it in the future.
Decisions about the duration of the dispensation are made on a case-by-case basis and will depend on several factors, such as why you are applying for dispensation and how long you have lived in Denmark.
Normally, the dispensation period can be extended to a maximum of 4 years. If you stay abroad posting for a Danish or foreign company, a Danish authority or a Danish or international organisation/institution or as part of your education you can be given a dispensation for more than 4 years.
You can apply for an extension of your dispensation period if you want to stay abroad for a longer period than initially. Applications for extension must be made before the original dispensation period expires. We can help you to apply for dispensation here.
If you do not return to Denmark when the grounds on which the dispensation was granted no longer apply or before the dispensation period ends, your residence permit will lapse. This means that if you wish to return to Denmark, you will need to apply for a new residence permit.
Kindly be advised that in reclaiming your private pension savings upon your departure from Denmark, DKkonsult is available to offer its professional services.
