Are you applying for residence permit from Eritrea or Sudan?
If you apply for family reunification to Denmark, you will have to come to a Danish Embassy (e.g. in Ethiopia or Kenya) in person for obtaining biometrics. If the Danish Immigration Service requests a DNA test, you will also need to come to a Danish Embassy.
Please make an appointment at the embassy before you show up.
