Residence permit through relationships or family in Denmark, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Germany and France
Over the past decades Family reunification has become increasingly politized, the rules have changed and been tighten numerous times in many European countries. Still, the extend and severity of requirements remain divided across nation-states.
This document showcases and compares the rules for national citizens-non-EU couples and families, in Denmark the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany and France. We hope that it may provide researchers an overview of the vast difference in the requirements when bringing your loved one to the country of one’s birth and settling down with a European spouse/ partner/ parent in EU.
We also hope that it might motivate particularly Danish and Dutch lawmakers to loosen up on some of the unreasonably tough requirements.

Undersøgelse om kommuners træk på bankgarantien
Ægteskab Uden Grænser har undersøgt, hvor ofte kommunerne trækker på den bankgaranti, der stilles i forbindelse med ægtefællesammenføring. Samt hvilke omkosninger det har for kommunerne at administrere ordningen.
Resultatet af undersøgelsen er, at kommunerne i gennemsnit trak 126 kroner om året fra hver aktiv garanti i årene 2015-2017 men brugte 470 kroner på administration.
På baggrund af resultaterne er det Ægteskab Uden Grænsers vurdering, at ordningen medfører krænkelse af Den Europæiske Menneskerettighedskonventions artikel 14 (diskriminationsforbud) i forening med artikel 8 (ret til respekt for familieliv). Vi anbefaler derfor, at ordningen afskaffes.
