We are happy to help you through the entire process of obtaining a residence permit in Denmark in connection with your stay at Rønde Højskole. Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have questions or need guidance.

As an international student at Rønde Højskole, you will generally need a residence permit in order to live and study in Denmark.

Once we have received full payment, we will send you the required documents (including a payment confirmation letter) no later than 6 months before the start of the course. You must then apply for a residence permit through the Danish embassy/online application system in your home country. Processing times are typically 16–18 weeks, so we recommend applying well in advance.

You must bring the original letter of admission and the letter confirming full payment to the embassy.

In the unlikely event that your residence permit is not granted, we will refund the full fee minus DKK 1,500.
