Description
The EU Residence Order (no 1457 af 06/10/2020) implements the Residence Directive (Directive 2004/38). It specifies the rights of workers, self-employed individuals, job seekers, students, and those with sufficient means to reside in Denmark for more than three months. Family members can join EU citizens, provided they do not become an unreasonable burden on the social system. The regulation also includes provisions for maintaining residence rights under certain conditions, such as temporary incapacity or unemployment, ensuring that EU citizens and their families can live and work in Denmark with legal protection.
