5. Students

The new agreement will include further screening against a set of uniform rules to determine study activity; and to strengthen the system as far as possible to avoid abuse of study permits. The policy will remain focused on efforts to control immigration with respect to aliens who have residence permits in order to study in Denmark. Immigration authorities will regularly carry out checks on the basis of these reports.

The new agreement will include coordinating the records of public authorities' registers with the records of the immigration authorities to strengthen our controls.
