familiesammenførte

Familiesammenførte is a Danish term that translates to "family reunification." It refers to the legal process by which citizens and residents of Denmark can bring their foreign family members to live with them in Denmark. This typically includes spouses, partners, cohabiting partners, and in certain circumstances, children, parents, and other close relatives.

The rules and requirements for family reunification in Denmark are primarily governed by the Aliens Act. Key conditions often include proof of a genuine and established relationship, the ability of the sponsor in Denmark to provide housing and financial support for the family member without recourse to public funds, and the satisfaction of language and integration requirements. Specific documentation and evidence are required to prove the validity of the relationship and the sponsor's capacity.

The process involves submitting an application to the Danish Immigration Service. Applicants and their sponsors may need to attend interviews. There are often waiting periods for processing these applications. The aim is to ensure that family reunification contributes positively to Danish society and that individuals joining family in Denmark are able to integrate. Exceptions and special considerations may apply in cases involving asylum or other humanitarian grounds.
