Asylum in Denmark is a legal process that allows individuals fleeing persecution or danger in their home countries to seek protection. Applicants must demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution based on factors such as race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. The Danish government evaluates these claims through interviews and documentation. Once an application is submitted, the Danish Immigration Service assesses the case. If granted asylum, individuals receive residency and can eventually apply for citizenship. However, the process can be lengthy, and Denmark has specific criteria and policies that influence the outcome of asylum requests.
