Visitors
It is not permitted for anyone but you to live at the DFC provided place of accommodation but you are welcome to have visitors staying with you for short periods of time (see more below).
Visits by spouse and close relatives from home:
If you are a participant in our shorter learning programmes (less than 6 weeks), DFC recommends that you do not receive visits from abroad.
During longer stays in Denmark, visitors are welcome, provided that they pay for and arrange everything in connection with the visit: Air ticket, insurance, visa and accommodation.
DFC recommends that you initially arrive alone and familiarize yourself with the conditions in Denmark, before possible visitors arrive.
Please note that it is not possible for your child(ren) below the age of 18 to be with you during your study stay in Denmark. The accommodation at the Danida Fellowship Centre Hostel is not well suited for young children, and there are no child-care arrangements in the Danida Fellowship Centre programme.
Also, please note that a partner/close relative visit cannot exceed one month in the DFC Hostel, and that you have to inform Danida Fellowship Centre about the visit.
Other visitors may stay with you for a maximum of one week at the Danida Fellowship Centre Hostel. Please note that this only applies for a single adult visitor, and not for children.
If you are staying at a hotel, you may be able to make an arrangement directly with the hotel upon extra payment. Note that this will be at your own expense.
In Copenhagen, the accommodation will either be at Danida Fellowship Centre’s own hostel at Hostrupsvej or at a hotel.
- Danida Fellowship Centre Hostel – the rooms are one-room studios with a single bed/bedding. Danida Fellowship Centre does not provide extra bedding for visitors.
- Hotels – you may be able to make an arrangement with the hotel upon extra payment. Note that this will be at your own expense and the agreement should be kept apart from the pre-arranged DFC agreement already made.
If you stay outside of Copenhagen, other types of accommodation may be made available to you.
Please note: Above rules and recommendations only apply for DFC Fellows. If you rent a room independently, DFC Hostel does not allow visits.
