kwh1u85There are a couple of things that you need to have in order to become a danish citizen:
You have to have had a job with permanent employment for 4 years in a row
You haven't been on state welfare
You need to be able to prove in writing that you can speak danish - you need an exam
You need a danish adress and a danish CPR-number
You need to have a permanent recidence permit to live in Denmark. That's probably to most important one.
When you get to the end of the line, you have to pass a cultural test and you have to shake hands with a mayor.

kwh4pfqThere are also these complicated rules about how long you can be away from the country within the time you were a resident (or the last 12 years), which can add to the time you need to wait before applying.
In every year you travel for more than 4 weeks at a time or more than 6 weeks total you need to report that time away (and consider them "interruptions) and add it up, if it adds up more than 365 days you need to not have any more interruptions in the last 3 years before you apply (in addition to adding one year to your total time). But that's the rule now, who knows what it will be in nearly a decade from now...

kwhfkdaThis one honestly sucks. Could you please provide me with a link to read more on the specifics?
CarobCake at 2024-03-25 16:01:40+00:00 ID:
kwi3t4zThe best place to figure this one out is a fb group called Permanent Residence and Citizenship in Denmark, lots of links to the resources and people telling their experiences, questions and answers, etc. I also think it sucks and am very annoyed to have to worry about it... I'm trying to stay within limits when possible and keep a log, but we'll see how it goes over the years.

kwihg9fHere (it's in Danish): https://uim.dk/statsborgerskab/udenlandske-statsborgere/betingelser/ophold/
The specifics are in the PDF that is linked under the "Opholdsafbydelser" (Interruptions of residence) point ( https://uim.dk/media/9263/ophold-i-udlandet.pdf ).
But yes, keep a log.

kwh3wmyBetween these, I think a lot of Danes would fail to get naturalized lol
OrdinaryValuable9705 at 2024-03-25 12:43:57+00:00 ID:
kwh80jkThey do. The yearly citizenship test is very common for many danes to fail. Best I have seen is when a bunch of DF politicians took it, and a bit more than half failed it - was amazing.
Spurlock33 at 2024-03-25 13:44:04+00:00 ID:
kwhgjb3If we expose foreignes to tests like these to get citizenship, we should kinda set the same expectations of current citizens! Like, fail this test and you don't get a passport, the right to vote, etc.
CountNo4923 at 2024-03-25 13:46:34+00:00 ID:
kwhgx3sor maybe its just a test to see if you can actually care to give a shit about Denmark enough to spend ½ hour reading a pamphlet
Spurlock33 at 2024-03-25 13:48:26+00:00 ID:
kwhh7o7Then ordinary citizens would have no issue parsing it either? If you don't give a shit, don't get rights.
CountNo4923 at 2024-03-25 13:50:10+00:00 ID:
kwhhhb7if its about voting rights it should be a proper test, not read a pamphlet and put down 30 x
Spurlock33 at 2024-03-25 13:59:12+00:00 ID:
kwhiwrqThe issue with that kind of process will always be, who gets to decide the questions and how difficult the questions should be.
Though I wouldn't be surprised if most would fail to get most basic questions about our political system right.
I remember the numbers we got presented during the political behavioral classes on PoliSci were fairly depressing when you asked respondent what parties were in goverment, who the current state minister was, etc.

kwhxtziDevils advocate: it's not like they're expected to just know the answers in the test, there's reading material specifically to prepare for it
OrdinaryValuable9705 at 2024-03-25 15:53:45+00:00 ID:
kwi2dpeA LOT of it is acutally common knowledge or things you learn in 9-10 klasse
Ricobe at 2024-03-26 06:13:29+00:00 ID:
kwlu5i1I would argue that some of the stuff you need to read for is pointless. It should be a test about how our society works, cultural norms and such. Things that are relevant to our society

kwh9yqjI've lived in Denmark my entire life, but i'm Dutch- and because i've been out of work due to my mental health, i'll have to wait another 10 years (assuming i dont have a relapse), before i'll be able to start the process. It fucking sucks, i didnt have the money for the process when i turned 18, so now i'll have to wait until i'm atleast 33 🥲

kwie8o0Det er altså på ingen måde svært at bestå den test - folk hører åbenbart ikke efter i skolen eller gider at få sig basal dannelse + man kan læse op på de emner, testen omhandler. Tog den for et par år siden og den var ret nem at gennemføre.
Ricobe at 2024-03-26 06:11:48+00:00 ID:
kwlu0bqTesten har været ændret flere gange fordi den ofte har indeholdt en masse spørgsmål som de fleste danskere ikke engang ville vide. Der har været mange nyhedsartikler om hvor dårlige de tests har været.
Selvfølgelig kan man læse op på den, men nogle af spørgsmålene er fuldkommen irrelevante. Som for eksempel navnet på en dansk arkitekt og lignende. Den burde handle om vores kultur og hvordan vores samfund fungerer. Ting som er værd at vide generelt
DrAzkehmm at 2024-03-25 12:00:56+00:00 ID:
kwh2ogyDon’t forget the fact that the rule can change retroactively at any time, and that no one will tell how or when they have changed, so you’ll have to start over.

kwha8dxYes, also that
Hillgrove at 2024-03-25 18:42:20+00:00 ID:
kwixjldYup.. that definitely sounds like a law our politicians would make :)

kwixzvzIt's called a diploma
BobsLakehouse at 2024-03-26 05:22:28+00:00 ID:
kwlplftWhat is meant is that you need to have passed a Danish language course.
