Student residence permit and accommodation
Student residence permit
When you have paid the tuition fee, DTU’s admissions Office will start the student residence permit application process by filling out our part of the application, confirming you will be a student at DTU.
You will then be contacted by the Danish Agency for International Recruitment (SIRI) by mail, which gives you access to fill out your part of the application online. When the necessary fees have been paid and all documentation has been submitted, the Danish Agency for International Recruitment will process your application for a student residence permit. This can take up to two months.
Student residence permits are normally valid from 1. August. The permit is usually – if certain conditions are fulfilled - given for the nominated study time of your study programme plus six months.
Please be aware that it is a requirement for enrollment that you hold a valid student residence permit by study start 1. September.
It is a condition for keeping your residence permit that you are enrolled in, and actively following, the study programme for which the permit is given. Failure to do so can result in the Agency revoking your residence permit. DTU’s Admissions Office is obliged to inform the Agency if you are not actively following the study programme or do not pay the required tuition fee.
