CLARIFICATION OF ALIENS ACT (UDLÆNDINGSLOVEN) SECTION 11, SUBSECTION 1

[manofpeace]

Can someone help clarigy this:

If you read udlændingsloven: section 11, sub-section 1, it say thus:

''11. (1) A residence permit under sections 7 to 9f is issued with a possibility of permanent residence or for the purpose of a temporary stay in Denmark. The residence permit may be issued for a limited period of time.''

Meanwhile if you read under sections 7 to 9f, you will find several categories upon which residence permits are issued like refugees, agreement made with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees or similar international agreement, greencard, paylimit scheme, positive list, family reunification, accompanying family members to workers, religious preachers, etc.

The question now is, how can someone determine among all these residence permits which ones are issued with a possibility of permanent residence or for the purpose of a temporary stay. All the people that hold the above listed resident permits can apply for permanent residence after 5 years if they meet certain requirements. But how can one distinguish the ones issued with possibility of permanent residence or not?

The ones, which are not, can not be extended buyond eg. 2 years. Au pair is an example, working holiday another. So if you have this kind of residence permit, you will not be able to stay 5 years in Denmark. And for that reason alone you will not be able to apply for permanent residenceship.
