Expatriate former Danish citizens will be able to re-apply for their Danish citizenship rights. <\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThis is an element in being a part of a global society. Today normal people travel abroad, fall in love, make a family, find an exciting job, and find out that they would like to make a future for themselves there. And they can run into problems in getting the same rights as everyone else unless they rescind their Danish citizenship. But now they can keep their link to Denmark,” says Minister of Justice Karen H\u00e6kkerup a Social Democrat.<\/p>\n<h2>Rules to get Danish citizenship unchanged<\/h2>\n<p>The dual citizenship proposal has been pushed by the Social Liberal Party which is now in the governing coalition, but it has now got the two key parties, the Social Democrats, and the centre-right Liberal Party (Venstre) on board. The two left-wing parties, Red-Green Alliance (Enhedslisten) and the Socialist People’s Party, just as the centrist Liberal Alliance, also support the proposal. The rightist Danish People’s Party is against.<\/p>\n<p>There will be no distinction between EU and non-EU countries. The final legislative proposal is expected to be passed in October. <\/p>\n<p>Access rules to Danish citizenship will not be changed. International applicants will have to live up to exactly the same criteria as before. <\/p>\n<p>Article in Danish media <a href=\"http:\/\/www.b.dk\/politiko\/regeringen-vil-give-fuld-adgang-til-dobbelt-statsborgerskab\" target=\"_blank\">b.dk with more details here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>universitypost@adm.dk<\/p>\n<p><em>Like us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UniversityPost\" target=\"_blank\"> Facebook <\/a> for features, guides and tips on upcoming events.
