Hi

I applied for first time residence permit in Copenhagen in August 2008 and got it in Oct 2008.

I just checked the website newtodanmark.dk that If you applied for residence in Denmark, the five years begin on the date you first applied for residence in Denmark.

So according to the above statement, Can i fulfill the requirement of 5 years of legal stay in Denmark if i apply for permanent residence permit in august 2013?

Do i also need to submit salary slip every month after handed in the permanent residence application?
or US can check itself ?

"Calculating the length of legal residence

Your residence permit and the way you applied for your first temporary residence permit are used to determine how long you have legally resided in Denmark.

Residence is calculated on the following:

If you applied for residence from your home country/abroad, the five years are calculated from the date of civil registration (CPR) in the municipality of residence.
If you applied for residence in Denmark, the five years begin on the date you first applied for residence in Denmark.
If you hold a residence permit as a refugee or similar status, the five years begin on the
date on which you were granted asylum in Denmark (the date on the residence permit). "

You can apply in august 2013 (now). When you fill out the application, you sign, that you are not expecting any changes in your employment during the next 12 month. And that you are obliged to inform US, if such changes takes place against your expectation (i.e. you are sacked by your employer).

Therefore there is no need to continuously send in new payrolls slips every month to prove, you are still employed. In fact if you do it, it might lead to confusion and an erroneous rejection of your application. One unfortunate forum member has experienced this already, and he has now had to hand in a new application, because filing a complaint would take even more time

Thank you for your valuable answer.

Thank you for good communication.
