Global Danes in China

Danes Worldwide, in collaboration with the Embassy in Beijing, Consulates General in Shanghai and Guangzhou, and the Danish Chambers of Commerce in China and Hong Kong, invites Danish citizens residing in China to a free online information evening.

The meeting is open to all Danish citizens and spouses, family members, or others with ties to Denmark. The meeting provides a unique opportunity to receive updates on rules and issues affecting many Danes residing abroad. Among the topics on the agenda are:

• What are the possibilities of returning to Denmark with a foreign spouse (the rules for family reunification)
• Preserving citizenship for Danish children born abroad (the 22-year rule)
