@ Tonny no read the dailymail article clearly it would affect people that are already on work permit not just for future migrant. @Ileke-IdI I wouldnt stop laughing at your comment but alas i see a lot of sentences being handed out without compassion.

I thought you should bear in mind denmark drills its own oil along with Norway. I have alwayz  wanted to relocate to this oil producing european countries and i tell you English is widely spoken in the Scandinavians. There are few Municipalities in Norway that are mainly for expatriate and you wouldnt find integration as difficult than u ever thought if yu was an expat. Denmark major export includes Machinery and equipment, foodstuffs and chemicals so you should know such country would attract expats whereas the uk main exports are Manufactured goods, chemicals, foodstuffs . see the difference?

How many more of such vacancies are widely open as we speak.  I have seen people on HSMP doing security and i say it my uncle was one of them before he got married to a british and change his status. not lots of these jobs and the torys arent just shutting the door at them stupidly. back to the topic how does nt granting people on work permit after 5years lawful resident  permanent residence  destructive to the UK economy.

Have you actually been to the scandinavians?
15 large Danish and international companies in Denmark launch common initiative to attract and retain highly skilled foreigners
15 of the largest Danish and international companies in Denmark have joined forces and launched a new initiative – Consortium for Global Talent – whose main objective is to create better framework conditions for highly skilled global professionals in Denmark. Furthermore, the Consortium aims at changing the general attitude and behavior of Danes towards expatriates. According to the companies, action is crucial if Denmark wishes to maintain its position as one of the richest countries in the world.

Do you think its all about Uk, all these countries are doing better than the UK, I never knew until i lived somewhere else. Denmark is one of the richest countries in the world. all the scandinavian are way better than the UK a lot of Americans work in Denmark i dont know what your on about brother.

Australia followed similar route as UK and the result was mass exodus of health philippino workers to US, and other Asian economies and Australia paid dearly for it as thier health care deteriorated faster than they could imagine.

I dont see this happening in the UK anytime soon. as it stands there are more people available for almost any kind of position been advertised on the Job Market. the goverment needs to balance this up thus this new law. I wouldnt live in the UK as it stands there are more eu countries creating more jobs even in this hardship but its nt all rosy in the EU if the citizens are paying greatly due to cuts why cant the foreigner the truth just hurts to accept

I think comparing Denmark to the UK is over the top really. How many multinationals are based in Denmark?

Even, the language barrier alone discorages Highly Skilled Professionals from taking up jobs in Denmark and if I happen to second in Denmark, really would request for posting in less than 2years!

well I though you would check this before posting, U heard about the green card scheme in denmark who do you think take up the jobs in these schemes? definately nt the samoans and fijians. 90% of the danes speak English, english is been thought as a 2nd language denmark. BTW there are lots of nigerians in france and germany language has never been a real factor for migration. you say this because your are unwilling to learn a new language. I have a friend that is completely illiterate in terms of education and lived in Norway withing years he was speaking fluent Norsk .  so i think you are wrong on that one. so what about ireland then? English speaking isnt yet i tell you dont think about i they have one of the strictiest immigration law ever the UK still stands out for me. so am nt all surprised they are changing

@ Omo Tier1. as much as i would love to agree with your credible comment. I would also like to ask you this if is were to be the other way round  that is uk to be 9ja you wouldnt be smilling would you. lets face it 62 million for uk is much. Australia stood at 30 sumtin million, Canada is the second largest country in the would it stood @ 32 Million. and creates even more jobs than the UK at the moment. like i said i am not applauding the proposed plan but its a fact too crowded for me and many UK citizens would say such

see the lastest immigration bill

8. (1) A person who lives in marriage with a Danish national may be listed in a naturalisation bill after six consecutive years
of residence in Denmark when the marriage has lasted and the spouse has been Danish for not less than three years. Where a
marriage is of two years’ duration, seven years of residence in Denmark are required, and where a marriage is of one year’s
duration, eight years of residence are required.
(2) Up to one year’s cohabitation prior to the marriage is considered equivalent to marriage during the period in question.
(3) Where the spouses have different residences and it is doubtful for that reason whether they cohabit, the application must
be submitted to the Naturalisation Committee of the Danish Parliament.
(4) Where the applicant is resident abroad due to the spouse’s work, the applicant may only be listed in a naturalisation bill if
the applicant’s aggregate previous period of residence in Denmark satisfies the residence requirement of subsection (1) hereof.
It is a condition that the spouse’s work abroad serves the interests of Denmark.

Unlike the UK after 2 years you are due for permanent resident and a year after due for Naturalisation. Though the UK is bigger than Denmark but then its still a little Island. she has a population of over 62M thats huge for such small country. Albeit am nt applauding the proposed plan

I thought you should read this  and also a link for you. its a fact brother thats how it is in those Nordics Denmark in particular passes his Immigration law restrictively so as to avoid overcrowding I would say the strictest till date that i know of in the EU i could be wrong but am sure its hard for residence down there

Residence

To be listed in a naturalisation bill you must have a permanent residence permit for Denmark and live in Denmark.

Special rules apply to applicants whose spouse's work abroad serves Danish interests and to certain (adopted) children as well applicants born in the period from 1 January 1961 to 31 December 1978 by a Danish mother.

For further details see sections 8, 12 and 14 of the Guidelines.

If you do not have a permanent residence permit, you can apply for one with the Danish Immigration Service.

Moreover, it is a general rule that you must have lived in Denmark for a continuous period of at least 9 years. The residence period is reckoned from the date of your first residence permit.

If you are stateless or have refugee status in Denmark, you only need to have lived in Denmark for a continuous period of 8 years from your first residence permit.

Requirements for shorter periods of residence are also made of Nordic nationals, persons married to a Danish national, persons who came to Denmark as children and were given a Danish education, and persons who underwent a substantial part of their general education or vocational training in Denmark.

well the island is getting crowded thats a fact. the UK it not much bigger that Denmark if even atall bigger, lazy to look it up now. and yet to get permanent resident alone in denmark you have to have legally resided for 9years prior to applying with the exception of dependant of eu citize. UK have been one of the generous so far i woudnt grumble now as they porpulation keeps surging. if it ever stands i know it wont be for long before they reverse it.

No airline would put someone on the plane without the right Visa, but then he has the right to be issued a Visa at the boder.

@ VICj FYI legalisation is nt authentication dey are 2 separate things, I wonder why then they alwayz require legalisation by the EU citizen's country. u can read Hague convention/apostille convention for your understanding. yes again her marriage certificate can only be legalised by the Irish authority for it to be recognised by the schengen countries

yes her marriage cert has to be legalized by the irish goverment, as she is irish citizen it has to be done that way. French embassy would not accept our marriage cert because its nt be legalized by the UK. its simple and straight foward. EU countries that require legalisation of such docs would nt accept any documents legalized by any country outside the EU. i hope i have broken it down enough that you will understand now

I think people should post comment only when they have substantial knowledge of the topic. I would stress that even if their marriage cert is Authenticated by the EU itself, spouses of union citizen who are third country national would need an entry visa on all cases. The possession of a residence card would only exempt them from visa requirements, that is if they have a residence card that say eea family permit , its called different names in all member states. and also @ the OP only the irish authority needs to legalize your marriage certificate before it can be acceptable to any country in the EU. I have done this for france as i am married to a british national. tho the british goverment doesnt legalize marriage cert especially from the commonwealth countries as it is generally accepted in the UK. but a company in the UK whom the goverment has given authority to put its seal on such docs do it for 80pounds thats if u were british , you can go all around but then your country's authority would still be your last resort

The embassy would not accept marriage cert authenticated by Nigeria high commission even if it has the president's stamp on it, i have been through this, you have to get it legalized by your own country which is ireland.

@ OP, I really do not know the best answer to give you as I could be wrong but then I can tell you that you would not get apostille in Nigeria because Nigeria is not a signatory to the hague convention. the best bet is to apply at an easier schengen country, I would suggest France but then you have to legalize your marriage certifitcate. if you were in Ireland as i heard its just 20 Euro to legalize marriage cert and you get it as you wait. if u are in Nigeria then the best bet would be to go to the Irish embassy in Abuja for legalizing your marriage cert after which it would then be recognised by all member states

@ Claremont, what would the OP needs to do for you to understand his point, he is clearly not speaking French or some weird language, I suppose that is clear enough for anyone to comprehend , mayb he needs to explain to you in a more subtle way

@ OP, I have submitted mine 7weeks on now, I sent bunch of emails to them, I contacted Dublin Visa section same old pending story, last year it took them over 12weeks to grant my cousin a visa, and he has been granted Ireland visa previously, they are just too slow for me
