Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
1. What documents do I need to move to Denmark?
If you are an EU/EEA citizen, you can enter and stay in Denmark without a visa but must register for a CPR number if staying more than 3 months. Non-EU citizens usually need a residence and work permit before arriving.
2. What is a CPR number and why is it important?
The CPR number (Civil Personal Registration) is your ID in Denmark. You need it for everything - opening a bank account, getting health care, signing a rental contract, or receiving your salary.
3. How do I get a CPR number?
Register at the local International Citizen Service (ICS) or your municipality (kommune) with your passport, work/residence permit, proof of address, and employment contract or proof of study.
4. How can I find housing in Denmark?
Websites like BoligPortal, Lejebolig, and Alviwo.com list available rentals. It’s common to rent through private landlords or housing associations.
5. Is English widely spoken?
Yes, most Danes speak excellent English, especially in urban areas and workplaces. However, learning Danish helps with integration and day-to-day interactions.
6. Do I need to learn Danish?
While it’s not required, it’s highly encouraged. Free Danish language courses are often available to expats through local municipalities.
7. How do I access healthcare in Denmark?
Once you receive your CPR number, you are automatically covered by the public healthcare system. You will be assigned a general practitioner (GP) whom you can change if needed.
8. Can I bring my family with me?
Yes, but they may also need residence permits depending on their nationality. Spouses and children can usually apply under family reunification or accompanying family schemes.
9. What’s the cost of living like?
Denmark is relatively expensive, especially for housing, food, and dining out. However, salaries tend to be higher, and public services like education and healthcare are subsidized.
10. What are the main types of transportation?
Denmark has excellent public transportation- buses, metro, and trains. Many people bike daily. Rejseplanen.dk is useful for planning public transport.
11. What are some helpful mobile apps for expats?
• Rejseplanen (transportation planner) • MobilePay (mobile payment app) • MitID (secure login for online banking and government sites) • e-Boks (official digital mailbox) • Too Good To Go (discounted food from restaurants and bakeries)
12. How does the tax system work?
Denmark has high taxes, but these fund quality public services. Once employed, you’ll get a tax card via the SKAT (tax authority). It’s important to register with SKAT early.
13. How do I open a bank account?
You’ll need a CPR number, valid ID (passport), and proof of address. Some banks also require a NemID/MitID to complete the process.
14. How do schools and childcare work?
Public schools and kindergartens are high quality and usually free or low-cost. International schools are available in bigger cities but often have tuition fees.
15. Can I drive with my foreign license in Denmark?
EU licenses are valid indefinitely. Non-EU licenses can usually be used for up to 90 days, after which you’ll need to convert it or pass a Danish driving test.
16. How do I meet people and build social life in Denmark?
Joining clubs, sports teams, or interest groups is a great way to meet locals and fellow expats. Many cities have international meetups, language cafes, and events organized like Meetup.com, Internations or Facebook groups. Volunteering and taking Danish classes also help build connections.
