Under current Danish rules of law, foreign residents are not allowed to purchase real property in Denmark without obtaining permission from the Danish Ministry of Justice - unless they have previously been permanently resident in Denmark for at least 5 years.
To evaluate your permission, the Danish Ministry of Justice will consider the following.
- Previous stays in Denmark
- Specific family relations in Denmark
- Specific business relations to Denmark
- Specific cultural relations to Denmark
- Specific financial relations to Denmark
- Specific attachment to the property, you wish to buy
Application for permission
You can only apply for permission to buy a specific property in Denmark. This means that you will not be able to apply for a general advance approval to buy any summer house in Denmark. You may expect a review time of 10 weeks, once the Danish Ministry of Justice has received all of the required information.
Consequences of non-permission
If you purchase a property without the required permission, or if the conditions for the permission lapse, you may be ordered to sell the property within a period of 6 months. Read More...
