Denmark: Calculating Period of Stay under the Fast Track Scheme

Key Points  

• Denmark released updated guidance for calculating residence under its short-term track within the Fast Track visa scheme 

Overview  

The government of Denmark released updated guidance for calculating residence under its short-term track within the Fast Track visa scheme.  

Under the short-term track, applicants can be granted a residence and work permit that will last for up to 90 days and can be distributed across several stays. The update provides further information on calculating the distribution of the 90 days across these several stays. 

When calculating the multiple stays within 90 days, the method being used is referred to as a ‘rolling’ calculation. This means that the method only accounts for the number of days of residence within a 365-day period. When calculating the period, the count starts from the first day that the permit is to be valid and is then counted 365 days back in time. 

What are the Changes?  

The government of Denmark published guidance for foreign nationals calculating total periods of stay under the short-term track of the Fast Track visa scheme.
