Residence permit for non-EU/EEA students attending approved Danish folk high schools; 18-month cumulative cap, no work rights.
This permit allows non-EU/EEA nationals to attend approved Danish folk high schools (folkehøjskoler) for cultural immersion and personal development. Applicants must enroll at a recognized institution and demonstrate proficiency in the language of instruction (Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, English, or German). There is an 18-month cumulative cap on total stay.
The permit lasts up to 18 months total and processing takes approximately 2 months. The application fee is DKK 3,060. The visa does not permit any employment and does not allow dependents to accompany the applicant. Though nominally renewable, the 18-month lifetime ceiling applies regardless of repetition.
This visa is ideal for young adults and cultural explorers seeking an immersive educational experience in Denmark without work ambitions.
