Why this exam matters

Permanent residence in Denmark normally requires 8 years of legal stay. Meeting all four supplementary conditions can cut that to 4 years, and passing the Medborgerskabsprøven is one of those conditions.

You are probably the right fit if

  • 1

    You moved to Denmark recently and want permanent residence as soon as possible.

  • 2

    You are already planning the supplementary conditions for the 4-year fast-track.

  • 3

    You want Danify content focused on the Active Citizen Exam, without current-affairs quizzes.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Medborgerskabsprøven?
