The Danish Immigration Service grants a residence permit to:

Name: Abby Lynn Kirkbride

Nationality: USA

The Immigration Service kindly requests the Embassy to issue the residence permit (sticker H) according to the conditions stated below.

The Immigration further asks the Embassy to inform the applicant of the following:

“Residence permit"

You have been granted a residence permit in the Faroe Islands.

The permit

· is valid for 12 months up to 11^th January 2009 on condition that you enter the Faroe Islands no later than 6 months after issuance of the permit and that your spouse take up residence with you in the Faroe Islands;

· is granted with a view to a long-term stay;

· entitles the applicant to accept paid employment in the Faroe Islands in accordance with the rules of the Danish health and safety at work legislation;

· is granted under paragraph 2 of section 9 (1) in regulation no. 182 of March 22^nd 2001 about request when the Danish Aliens Act will come into force in the Faroe Islands and;

· is conditional upon the applicant’s national passport being valid for three months after the expiry of the permit, see section 39 in the regulation.

The Immigration Service asks the embassy to inform the applicant that as long as the applicant’s residence permit is time-limited, the permit is, among other things, conditional upon

· the applicant living together with the applicant’s spouse at a shared residence and this person being permanently resident in the Faroe Islands,

· the applicant’s spouse being able to use and dispose of his or her own dwelling of a reasonable size.

The Immigration Service also asks the embassy to inform the applicant that the permit may be revoked if the grounds on which the permit was granted are incorrect for example or no longer exist or if the permit was obtained by deception. The permit lapses if the applicant gives up his residence in the Faroe Islands or if the applicant remains outside the Faroe Islands for a long period. Residence in Greenland or in Denmark is considered to be a residence outside the Faroe Islands.
