Things to Consider for Dependent Applicants

If you plan to bring dependents (spouse or children) to Denmark during your studies, additional financial considerations include:

  1. Residence Permit for Dependents: Each dependent must apply for a residence permit, incurring additional application fees.
  2. Proof of Financial Means: You must demonstrate sufficient funds to support your dependents. The required amount may vary, so it's advisable to check the latest guidelines from Danish immigration authorities.
  3. Accommodation: Larger housing to accommodate dependents will result in higher rental costs.
  4. Healthcare and Insurance: Ensure that dependents are covered under Denmark's healthcare system or have appropriate health insurance.

Budgeting Notes for Denmark

  3. Currency: Denmark uses the Danish Krone (DKK)
  4. Financial Planning: It's crucial to have a well-structured financial plan to ensure all expenses are covered without financial strain.
