Key Points

- The transition will occur gradually over three to four months.
- Applicants must follow updated instructions on newtodenmark.dk.
Overview
Denmark is launching a new digital application platform to streamline immigration and visa processing. Managed by the Danish Immigration Service and the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI), the system will replace the existing application portal on a rolling basis over the next three to four months. This phased transition will impact all digital applications and invitation forms available on newtodenmark.dk.
New users submitting applications or visa invitations must refer to the updated instructions on the website’s relevant pages, as the older versions of the forms will be gradually retired. For a limited time, individuals who have already started their applications in the previous system will still be able to complete and submit them. However, only the new digital forms will be accepted after the transition period.
The updated forms will feature a revised design and improved functionality. Once submitted, applicants and sponsors can still log into the system to view application and invitation records for up to 30 days. This upgrade supports Denmark’s broader efforts to modernize immigration processes, improve data handling, and enhance the user experience for individuals and corporate sponsors navigating Danish immigration rules.
Looking Ahead
As the new system rolls out, applicants and employers are advised to check newtodenmark.dk regularly for updates on which forms have transitioned. Those planning to submit new applications should avoid delays by using only the current system listed on the website. Immigration professionals should prepare for changes in form structure and submission workflows and ensure their HR systems and checklists are updated accordingly. The Danish government will continue to release additional guidance as the transition progresses.
