The Danish Immigration Service published the latest annual statistics regarding applications for international protection and issuance of residence permits for international protection.
The number of asylum permits granted remains at a very low level compared to previous years, according to the latest figures from the Danish Immigration Service.
In November 2025, 48 residence permits were granted in the asylum area. This means that a total of 839 permits have been granted in 2025 up to and including November
Historically, there have been very few years where the total number was below 1,000. The figures from November therefore indicate that 2025 will be a year with historically few asylum residence permits issued. In 2015, during the then refugee crisis, almost 11,000 permits were granted.
