Family Reunification — Spouse or Partner

Denmark's national family-reunification scheme for the foreign spouse or cohabiting partner of a person lawfully living in Denmark. Because Denmark does not apply the EU Family Reunification Directive, it runs notably stricter national rules (age, integration, financial guarantee, housing and self-sufficiency conditions).
