Understand the concept of procedural stay

Let me start by cutting through all the misconceptions: You have procedural residence absolutely from the moment you submit your FA1 application form until you receive a final decision on your application. You do NOT have to submit a separate application for procedural residence.
You have the right to stay in the country until you receive a response to your FA1 application form, even if your visa expires in the meantime. However, you do not have the right to work here while the case is being processed. This applies regardless of whether it is voluntary, unpaid or paid work. Likewise, you cannot be referred to the language school via the municipality during this period. You only have the right to "be here" on tourist-like terms.
If you need to return home in the meantime, you can apply for a return travel authorisation from the Danish Immigration Service. It is free of charge and can be issued within a few days. A return travel authorisation allows you to return to Denmark while your case is still being processed by the Danish Immigration Service.
The concept of procedural residence does not exist in EU Law.
