Webinar: Retention of Danish Citizenship
Retention of Danish citizenship – a Danes Worlwide key issue
Danes Worldwide wants to reduce case processing time and remove unnecessary bureaucratic requirements, especially now that Denmark allows dual citizenship. This can be achieved by simplifying the procedure for retention by e.g. replacing the retention application with a declaration of good faith.
