I will write this in English instead of Danish!
Basically, my partner is from Australia and she has been living in Denmark for 11 years and wants to apply to become a Danish Citizenship.
She passes the living here continuously for 9 years, but the second part does worry me slightly - it states:
"You must also prove that you are able to support yourself, meaning you do not, and must not have, received any public benefits within the past year. You must also have been self-supportive for 4 years and 6 months out of the last 5 years before your application. State education grants and loans, anticipatory pensions or old-age pensions will not prevent you from obtaining Danish nationality."
She has been working the entire time, but my partner will soon go on maternity leave, but due to some bad circumstances at work she will most likely be fired before this happens (In a travelling job, but she can no longer travel) - basically her maternity will be paid for by the government
Does this count as public benefits? Also if she is on government paid maternity leave for 6 to 12 months does this effect the self supportive?
So at the end of the day does a foreigner having a child in Denmark have any effect on a Citizenship?
Kind regards
