The expert group developing a model to screen Danish citizenship applicants for anti-democratic views has delayed its recommendations until mid-March next year. The government intends to introduce the citizenship bill before the screening model is ready.
For citizenship applicants, the development means that the proposed screening procedure has not yet been finalised and its parameters will be shaped later. According to the source, the government still plans to proceed with the citizenship bill before the expert group completes its work. This could affect how applications are assessed and what requirements applicants face in the future, so current and prospective naturalisation applicants should monitor subsequent decisions. It is important for long-term migration planning, but does not itself change residence or entry rules.
