Hejsa,

I was hoping to get some advice and information on the process of acquiring citizenship for a Dane born to foreign parents. My wife was born in Denmark to foreign parents (UK, hence she has British citizenship), grew up here, and is now studying here. She is finally looking at getting her citizenship, however it seems as though her only option is via naturalisation, which seems to indicate that as a student and not a worker, she does not qualify. Is this correct? Is her only option to wait until she graduates, find a job, work another 3.5 years, then apply?

I understand that none of you may be immigration lawyers or experts, however any information at all would be greatly appreciated.

The under 22 is for children born to Danish parents but outside of the country. She is born in Denmark to foreign parents so it would not apply in this case either way 😅

You are incorrect. There is also a rule that kicks in at age 22 for foreign-born children of Danish parents, but the rule I am talking about is the Employment Requirement waiver:

If you are under 22 years of age and have entered Denmark before the age of 8, you can also apply for a dispensation. You can attach a motivated application for dispensation and possibly documentation that supports your application. Documentation can for instance be training documents, employment contracts from full-time, part-time employment, documentation of voluntary work in the form of statements, or the likes.

Sorry yeah, I thought you were referring to the mentioned scheme, and not to a rule within the work requirements directly :)
