Can someone tell me the resident card issued for a spouse is of the type Opholdstilladelse jf. EF/EØS bekendtgørelsen? I applied for a university and they told me I have to pay tution fee, but I do hold the EU resident card as a spouse.

Regards

Tuition fees are decided and set by each educational institution. It is usually decided by your nationality and not by what kind of permit you have to live in Denmark.

If your residence right is granted according to EU-rules, you should be exempt from paying tuition fees at a Danish university. This is because you have a residence right, which is not time limited, as i.e. a residence permit for a specific education or an au-pair residence permit.

You would certainly be at Aalborg and Copenhagen University (in Danish) and Copenhagen:

"Hvis du har en permanent opholdstilladelse i Danmark, eller en midlertidig opholdstilladelse med henblik på en permanent opholdstilladelse, skal du ikke betale studieafgift."

Which university have you applied to? Write to them, that since you have an unlimited residence right, you should be exempt. Write, don't call. They have to answer in writing, and refer to a rule.

Thanks, I will write. I applied for Roskilde university

You may want to send them this link (or print the info out) (and then help them to get their foot out of their mouth ):
