The number of people granted asylum in Denmark in 2025 is expected to be at a historically low level, according to the latest figures from the Danish Immigration Service released via the Ministry of Immigration and Integration.

Up to November last year, asylum was granted to 839 people. That puts the total on track to fall below 1,000 for only the fourth time since records began in 1983.

“This is a main priority for me,” Immigration and Integration Minister Rasmus Stoklund said in a press release, cited by Berlingske Tidende. “It is absolutely crucial that as few foreigners as possible come to Denmark and receive asylum. Therefore, I am very satisfied that there are still very few people who are granted asylum in Denmark.”

The last times Denmark recorded fewer than 1,000 asylum permits were in 2024, when 859 people were granted protection, in 2020 with 601 permits, and in 1983 with 689. By contrast, during the peak of the refugee crisis in 2015, Denmark granted asylum to 10,849 people, primarily to Syrian nationals.

Since then, the number of asylum approvals has generally declined. Under Danish law, a person may apply for asylum if they have a well-founded fear of persecution on grounds such as race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership of a particular social group. Asylum permits are time-limited and intended to allow temporary residence until protection is no longer needed.
