Permit in Denmark
For Accompanying Family Member
(family ties)

2. • The nuisance when you get your application turned down by the case officer, will give you an idea for the
specificity of what or which went wrong to your residence permit application, after you get the letter from them,
stating as to why in their view, your application for residence permit is unsuccessful. Usually, client(s) have an
option to make an appeal at Danish Immigration Service within eight (8) weeks of the receipt of the refusal letter
and make any further representations. However, appeal is only possible if you think based on the decision, the
guidelines of visa processing has not followed or, if there is questions of law or, mix of facts – in connection to
the supporting documents hence; were not considered then and etc., Appeal also requires a lawyer to represent
your refused residence permit UNLESS, you choose not to represent one – this process is a bit lengthy, though you
may check March 2017 application processing time , but what if you are to reckon of reapplying? How will you
addressed the issue raised by the case officer in turning down your application.
• Our [x] client from Denmark is currently holding a work permit for the last two (2 years), with the route under Pay
Scheme Limit and had attempted to bring his wife in Denmark, they are both Nepalese national and got married
under “arrange married”, prior to this application for residence permit with accompanying family member, they
both acquainted for more than six (6) months, where their relationship has started and developed - through
online, when after a certain relative has introduced them and, exchanging their contact details. Until, they finally
met each other, when he visited his country, Nepal. Soon enough, after couple of days, they planed their
engagement and a week after; they undertook their formal marriage ceremony, after, a couple of months they live
together in his father’s family house, before he returned to Denmark to work, and applied for his wife’s residence
permit so she can join her in Denmark, pursuant to section 9a. (1) “A residence permit may be issued to an alien
on the basis of employment or activity as a self-employed person”. He had followed the process of application
from Danish Immigration Service for accompanying family member (family ties), and the case officer has
requested an additional information and documents from his wife, to comply e.g., her passport copy and few
information which is essential to finalise their application, so the wife had complied and provided a letter which
will explain the relationship and the so called “arrange marriage”, which is a common practice in Nepal.

3. • Unfortunately, after a week of submitting the requested information and documents, they received
a negative decision stating that “the decisive purpose of your marriage to [x] client is to obtain a
residence permit in Denmark” – claiming that he has not met personally his wife before the
marriage. They were both surprise and upset how their application, has turned into rejection, it
was a savage as they claim [x client], “immigration has not even considered their cultural practice
regarding arrange marriage”, noting that they were both in their legal age when the marriage
took place, it just that, there is a need for them to abide their cultural tradition and
practice.While, they wish to prove that they known each other, contrary with the decision – they
reapply through the assistance of Visa Online Assistance.
• We strongly believe that as to why the case officer suspected in their view, as such decision
because, they have supplied insufficient thus, relevant and significant information were not
appended to their first instance of submission * evidence of documents to combat against the
assumption of the case officer, considering first, it was done in arrange marriage, secondly they had
a met online [but they do meet up personally face to face ]- but the decision of getting married was
like a tacit situation, as they have not supplied supporting documents of them regarding this,
which the case officer of course is ambiguous at that time they have submitted their application
for assessment in general. Arrange marriage in Nepal has different rules or practice, sometimes
both parties have not even met each other, or they do not know each other for contracting
arrange marriage, and in very rare case, the groom and bride could have known each other before
the marriage – this is similar to our [x] client, source regarding arrange marriage in Nepal:

4. • In addition to this, in EU agency for Fundamental Rights’ articles regarding addressing forced marriage in the EU:
Legal provisions and promising practice report, in which they wrote “ Forced marriages are also to be
distinguished from arrange marriages, if however, at least one of the parties does not consent to the marriage, a
arrange married becomes a force marriage. In their case as stated herein, they have consented their marriage in
their own FREE WILL, and it was done in good faith. As we further review their documents and analyse any
additional material information and or third source of information - which will rebut the previous determination of
cold residence permit application, we have found out that there are many supporting documents from the start of
their relationship till they get married which unfortunately, were not included to their first submission, and we are
hopeful that they will get their residence permit with higher success rate than as that of before - this is in line
with the visa guidelines, Alien’s Acts section 9 m (1) ,” Upon application, a residence permit may be issued to an
alien with family ties to an alien holding a time-limited or permanent residence permit under section 9a(2)(i) to (vi)
if essential business or employment considerations make it appropriate . We also prepare a submission letter for
them to reapply. While, we are writing this article, theirs reapplication is ready for submission at Danish
Immigration Service and we will keep an update for the decision and same will be posted to this site.
• True enough, if in any case you intend to apply for a residence permit with accompanying family member (family
ties), it is always good to seek for a second opinion (before submitting it to Danish Immigration) - if you think you
have a doubt, as to whether you will likely to invite a potential refusal, because of the lacking documents which
you are un aware of. So you will not be surprised at the end of the day after getting the negative determination of
your residence permit application in Denmark. Contact Visa Online Assistance for your residence permit
