Denmark’s special temporary-residence scheme for people displaced from Ukraine is restricted for applicants covered by Ukrainian mobilisation rules or who have not fulfilled their military obligations in Ukraine. The amendment applies to applications submitted on or after 25 June 2026.Retsinformation Applications submitted before that date remain subject to the previous rules.Retsinformation

The restriction appears in both the principal grant provision and the provision governing the categories listed in section 2 of the special law.Retsinformation In each case, the new wording prevents a residence permit from being granted where the applicant falls within either of the stated military-related conditions.Retsinformation The amendment concerns this particular temporary-residence scheme; its text does not establish a general rule for every Danish residence route.Retsinformation

Extensions are addressed separately. A permit under the special law that was applied for on or after 25 June 2026 cannot be extended beyond the point at which its holder becomes subject to mobilisation rules in Ukraine.Retsinformation The amendment also adds a withdrawal ground tied to mobilisation status for permits applied for from that date.Retsinformation The application date is therefore material when considering both the original grant and the subsequent treatment of a permit.Retsinformation

For employers reviewing an affected worker’s residence position, the distinction between earlier and later applications is central. The transitional provision expressly excludes applications submitted before 25 June 2026 from the amendment and retains the previous rules for them.Retsinformation The legislation does not support treating all Ukrainian employees as having lost their residence permission simply because the amendment has been enacted.Retsinformation

The law takes effect on the day after publication in Lovtidende.Retsinformation It also authorises the immigration minister to set additional conditions and procedures insofar as corresponding rules apply under the EU temporary-protection directive.Retsinformation That enabling provision is distinct from the military-related restrictions written directly into the law.Retsinformation

The legal basis is the law signed on 1 September 2026 amending lov om midlertidig opholdstilladelse til personer, der er fordrevet fra UkraineRetsinformation, particularly the amendments to sections 1–3 and 10 and the transitional provision in section 2 of the amending law.

Check the application date and mobilisation conditions before assessing an affected employee’s permission under the special Ukraine scheme.
