Permission to enter after getting Green Card

A Residence permit issued under the Greencard Scheme expires 6 months after the date of issue Therefore the successful applicant must arrive in Denmark, with the intention of working and residing, within six months of the issuance of the permit. This period is fixed. The dates of your residence permit cannot be changed. If you are not able to travel to Denmark before the end of the 6 month period then your visa will become invalid and you will need to make a application for an extension. For more information on making an application for an extension for the arrival period please contact DIS at Greencard@us.dk

You are entitled to health care when you are legitimately resident in Denmark. To be legitimately resident in Denmark, you must register with the National Registry (CPR) after your arrival. This process can take several weeks. Once this process is complete, you will receive notification that you have entitlement to Danish health care. Until that time, you must take out private insurance cover this interim period until you are formally covered by public health insurance

Foreign nationals do not qualify for public assistance. If you receive public assistance where you are not entitled to it, your Green Card residence permit can be withdrawn. Please remember that qualifying criteria for the Green Card scheme includes your ability to support yourself during your first full year in Denmark. On arrival in Denmark you must include evidence that you possess financial resources equivalent to one year of Danish Start Help benefits

The Green Card residence permit gives you permission to work and reside in Denmark. It also gives you an entitlement to travel to another Schengen country as per a standard Schengen visa. This means that you can travel on a Green Card residence permit for up to 90 days in any other Schengen country. You may also travel to other Schengen countries on your way to ‘activating’ your Green Card residence visa in Denmark.

Guidance about Appeals

You may lodge an appeal against the decision with the Ministry of Refugee, Immigration and Integration Affairs, Holbergsgade 6, 1057 Copenhagen K. The email address is inm@inm.dk.

You should forward your appeal direct to the Ministry of Refugee, Immigration and Integration.

Once an appeal has been registered with the Ministry, an acknowledgement letter will be sent to the appellant – this will normally take one month. The appeal process takes approximately 3-9 months.
Please do specify the areas in the decision from DIS that you want to appeal on. In general you will have a refusal if you do not specify the areas that you want to appeal about.

Please bear in mind that according to guidelines an Indian "Master's degree/master of Arts/Science/Commerce, 2 years" are generally assessed as corresponding in level to a Danish bachelor's degree including one year of a Danish Master's degree (= 4 years of a university degree and not a full Danish Master's degree).

DENMARK Happiest Country on the World

The fact is good times probably have more to do with the size of your wallet than the size of your trophy shelf. The five happiest countries in the world--Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands--are all clustered in the same region, and all enjoy high levels of prosperity.

"The Scandinavian countries do really well," says Jim Harter, a chief scientist at Gallup, which developed the poll. "One theory why is that they have their basic needs taken care of to a higher degree than other countries. When we look at all the data, those basic needs explain the relationship between income and well-being."

Behind the Numbers Quantifying happiness isn't an easy task. Researchers at the Gallup World Poll went about it by surveying thousands of respondents in 155 countries, between 2005 and 2009, in order to measure two types of well-being.

First they asked subjects to reflect on their overall satisfaction with their lives, and ranked their answers using a "life evaluation" score between 1 and 10. Then they asked questions about how each subject had felt the previous day. Those answers allowed researchers to score their "daily experiences"--things like whether they felt well-rested, respected, free of pain and intellectually engaged.

Subjects that reported high scores were considered "thriving." The percentage of thriving individuals in each country determined our rankings. For a complete list of countries surveyed, including the percentages thriving and their daily happiness scores, click here.

Money Matters The Gallup researchers found evidence of what many have long suspected: money does buy happiness--at least a certain kind of it. In a related report, they studied the reasons why countries with high gross domestic products won out for well-being, and found an association between life satisfaction and income.

"Money is an object that many or most people desire, and pursue during the majority of their waking hours," researchers wrote in the report. "It would be surprising if success at this pursuit had no influence whatsoever when people were asked to evaluate their lives."

Indeed, Denmark, the world's happiest country, had a per-capita GDP of $36,000 in 2009, according to the Central Intelligence Agency. That's higher than 196 of the 227 countries for which the CIA collects statistics.

But there's more to happiness than riches. The Gallup study showed that while income undoubtedly influenced happiness, it did so for a particular kind of well-being--the kind one feels when reflecting on his or her own successes and prospects for the future. Day-to-day happiness is more likely to be associated with how well one's psychological and social needs are being met, and that's harder to achieve with a paycheck.

Take Costa Rica. The sixth-happiest country in the world, and the happiest country in the Americas, it beat out richer countries like the United States. That's because social networks in Costa Rica are tight, allowing individuals to feel happy with their lot, regardless of financial success.

"Costa Rica ranks really high on social and psychological prosperity," says Harter. "It's probably things systemic to the society that make people over time develop better relationships, and put more value on relationships. Daily positive feelings rank really high there."

Inhabitants of some rich countries are bound to feel happier. But happiness is elusive to define, and money isn't the only thing that influences it. Harter explains that the more abstract sense of happiness to which wealth contributes has a different effect on one's life than daily happiness.

"Each of us is two different people. We evaluate our lives periodically; we sit back and reflect and summarize things that have gone on in our lives to date," Harter says. "Another side is how you experience things daily. Daily experience affects your stress and your psychology. How you evaluate your life affects your decisions. It's important to think about how you can leverage that well-being."
