Moving to Denmark involves more than transporting furniture and personal belongings. Questions about residence, housing, employment, education, healthcare, taxation and language are also important when preparing for a new chapter in your life.

The following topics provide an overview of key aspects to consider before moving.

Daily life

Denmark is known for its high quality of life, cycling culture and emphasis on a healthy work-life balance. Depending on the region and professional field, there are different opportunities for getting started with working and everyday life in Denmark..

Entry and Residence Requirements

German citizens benefit from specific entry and residence arrangements in Denmark under EU freedom of movement rules. If you intend to stay for an extended period, you should find out about the required procedures in good time. These include registering with the relevant authorities and checking under what conditions you can apply for a Danish CPR number.

Property market

The housing market varies considerably by region. Finding suitable accommodation in Copenhagen, in particular, can be time-consuming. Whether you are looking for a city apartment, a terraced house or a rural property, it is advisable to start your search early and plan your move-in date in advance.

Working in Denmark

Denmark offers employment opportunities across a range of sectors, including information technology, engineering, renewable energy, healthcare and design. If you are moving to Denmark for work, you should familiarise yourself with local working conditions, the requirements of your profession and any language requirements.

Education System 

Families with children should find out about the Danish education system, in good time. In addition to public schools, Denmark offers private, international and German-language school options. The right choice depends on your location, your children's ages and your individual educational plans.

Healthcare system

Before moving, it is worth checking the requirements for accessing the Danish Healthcare system . For longer stays, registration procedures and any required insurance documentation are particularly important considerations.

Taxes and Finances

Moving abroad can affect your personal tax situation. Find out about Danish tax regulations,possible social security contributions and the tax implications of changing your country of residence in good time. The rules that apply to you will depend on your individual circumstances.

Danish Culture and Customs

Danish life is shaped in part by the concept of hygge, a strong sense of community and a well-established cycling culture. Regional traditions,public holidays and social customs may also influence everyday life after your move.

Leisure and Recreation in Denmark

Denmark offers coastal scenery, sandy beaches, islands, historic towns and extensive cycling routes. From Copenhagen and Aarhus to the coast of Jutland and the islands, there are plenty of opportunitiesto explore your new surroundings.

Learning Danish and Integrating

Many people in Denmark speak English. Nevertheless, Danish language skills can make everyday tasks, communication with public authorities and integration into professional and social life easier. If you plan to settle in Denmark for the long term, familiarising yourself with the language before moving can be beneficial.
