Immigration Division
I phoned the Danish ministry in Copenhagen and asked them what their specific translation of the term is and they explained it was not in any dictionary but is their own terminology

aliens department
I see the problem - two words in danish, one in English. So probably the "aliens department" is more appropriate here, whereas the "authority responsible for aliens" or "alien authority" or actually "alien office" would fot the "kontor" better.

Foreign Nationals Division
Perhaps 'foreign nationals section' or 'foreign nationals' on its own- just a thought.
