Title: Newborn residence permit - non-EU student family in Denmark, financial requirement
Hi everyone,
We are expecting our baby towards the end of this year. I am a non-EU master’s student in Denmark, and my spouse is here with me as my accompanying family member.
I checked the SIRI website and it seems that for a newborn’s residence permit, we may need to document around 89,000 DKK in funds. Honestly, we cannot afford to have that much money available, even if both of us are working part-time after the baby is born.
I would really appreciate advice from anyone who has been in a similar situation as a non-EU student with a newborn in Denmark.
Is the financial requirement definitely applicable in our situation?
How long after the baby is born do we have to apply for the baby’s residence permit?
Is there any alternative to showing the full amount?
Can we wait a few months after the birth until we have enough savings?
Has anyone successfully handled this situation without having the full amount available?
We are quite worried about this because the pregnancy is already far along, and obviously termination is not an option at this stage.
I would really appreciate hearing from people who have actually been through the same situation in Denmark. Thank you.
