2007

Summary: Significant increase in the number of foreigners coming to Denmark in 2007 for the purpose of work or study. The pace of globalisation picked up in Denmark in 2007. An increasing number of foreigners applying to work and study in Denmark added to the wave of immigration that the country has experienced in recent years. A total of 37.523 residence permits were issued for the purpose of work or study. This is more than 30 percent higher than in 2006 and almost three times as many as in 2002 when about 13.000 foreigners came to Denmark for work or study purposes. More than twice as many workers from the new EU Member States There has been a particularly large increase in the number of residence and work permits issued to citizens from the new EU Member States. In 2007, 13.773 permits were issued, compared to some 10.000 in 2006 and less than 5.000 in 2005. The 2007 figures do not include about 10.000 persons, who have already begun to work, yet have not received their formal permit due to a scheme for pre-approved companies. 53 percent more on the Job Card Scheme Moreover, the number of persons issued a residence permits as part of the Job Card Scheme, as well as other specialists, increased by 53 percent from 1.350 in 2006 to 2.059 in 2007. About half of the Job Card permits have been issued to persons from India. Increase in the number of EU/EEA residence certificates issued The number of EU/EEA residence certificates issued went up from 9.916 in 2005 to 12.802 in 2006 and to 14.620 in 2007. About a third, or 4.532, of the residence certificates in 2007 were issued for the purpose of work. Of these, about half were issued to persons from Germany. Changing immigration patterns There has been an overall increase from 2006 to 2007 in the number of residence permits granted in the area of immigration and asylum. There was a total of 58.569 permits issued in 2007 compared with 46.543 in 2006 – an increase of about 12.000. The permits primarily regard citizens from the EU Member States and other foreigners in the area of work or study. These categories represented 52.143 persons – or 89 percent of all permits issued. The largest nationalities in 2007 are (in persons): Poland (11.797), Germany (4.583), China (3.679), Ukraine (3.279), India (2.538), Lithuania (2.535) and USA (2.478).

More permits in the area of asylum and family reunification The number of residence permits issued for family reunification rose from 3.582 in 2006 to 4.454 in 2007. Most of the increase is seen for spouses and notably of Danish/Nordic nationals in Denmark. The largest nationalities in 2007 were Thailand 412 persons, Turkey 340 and the Philippines with 203 persons. The number of residence permits granted in the area of asylum etc. increased from 1.095 in 2006 to 1.278 in 2007. This increase is due to the granting of 308 permits to a group of Iraqi interpreters and their families. Excluding these permits, the number of granted residence permits remained relatively constant: A total of 970 permits were issued in 2007, compared with 1.095 in 2006. The recognition rate on asylum cases processed in the Danish Immigration Service, excluding the group of Iraqi interpreters, was 30 percent in 2007, compared with 18 percent in 2006. By far the largest asylum nationality was Iraq, (excluding the interpreters). The Danish Immigration Service issued 27 permits and rejected 44 Iraqis in 2007, corresponding to a recognition rate of about 40 percent. In 2006 the recognition rate was 2 percent.
