Have been trawling elsewhere to find out more about this.......
From a document commenting on Damian Green speech.
‘We are keen to learn from practice in other European countries. An example is the attachment requirement in Denmark, which requires a couple’s combined attachment to Denmark to be greater than that to any other country. It is argued that this promotes effective integration and provides a further test of the genuineness of a relationship.
‘To meet the attachment requirement, the sponsor of a marriage visa must have resided legally in Denmark for at least 15 years and the applicant must have visited the country at least twice.
‘Such an attachment requirement in the UK would have a big impact. Many family migrants have never visited the UK before they apply for a visa to come here as a spouse or partner.’
It is interesting to note that these comments were made the day before Denmark voted out the right-leaning government responsible for introducing policies such as these.
