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 If you receive public assistance where you are not entitled to it, your Green Card residence permit can be withdrawn.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.
