Updates to calculation of residence under short-term track

The Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) announced that a “rolling” calculation will now be used to monitor residence under the short-term track.

Key Points:

• Within the Fast Track Scheme, the short-term track grants a residence and work permit valid for up to 90 days.
• These 90 days can now be distributed across several stays, with the “rolling” calculation tracking the overall total.
• The official count starts from the first day that the permit is valid, and then is counted 365 days back in time to determine the remaining usage available.

BAL Analysis: The Danish government confirmed that pending applications based on first entry into Denmark under the short-term track can now contact SIRI to update the application using the new “rolling” calculation. The deadline to update the application is Dec. 1.
