Total listed costDKK 3,060.00

An eligible study permit is often issued with the job-seeking period already included; a separate application is mainly needed when passport validity or delayed completion shortened it. SIRI updates fees, financial requirements, salary thresholds, occupation lists and processing times; confirm the current figures before applying.
