IN NUMBERS: Is Denmark granting more or fewer citizenships to English speakers?
Briefly

In 2024, Denmark granted 6,255 citizenships, significantly higher than the 3,355 from 2023, reflecting ongoing trends. Stricter requirements have been implemented since a 2021 law revision added more questions assessing knowledge of Danish values to the citizenship test. Furthermore, the government plans to increase the application fee by 50 percent. The nationality data show notable trends among English-speaking countries, particularly an increase in British applicants following Brexit, while Irish applicants remain low due to the benefits of EU membership.
The total number of Danish citizenships granted in 2024 was 6,255, marking a significant increase over the 3,355 granted in 2023.
