Frequently asked questions
Do EU citizens need a permit for Denmark, and how do I get a CPR number?
EU/EEA and Swiss citizens must first obtain an EU residence document from the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI), while non-EU nationals need a residence and work permit. You then register at your local Borgerservice or an International Citizen Service centre to receive your CPR number — Denmark’s personal registration number used for tax, health, banking and MitID.
Do I have to clear customs for my household goods when moving to Denmark?
No. As Denmark is in the EU, household goods brought from another EU country move freely with no customs formalities or import duty. Only goods imported from outside the EU must be declared, with duty and VAT rules administered by the Danish tax authority, SKAT.
How much does an international move to Denmark cost and how long does it take?
There is no fixed price; the cost depends on the volume of your belongings (in cubic metres), the distance and access, so movers give a fixed quote after a survey. Road removals from within Europe usually take from a few days up to about two weeks. Official guidance for new arrivals is collected at Life in Denmark.
How do I find housing in Denmark?
Most newcomers rent; deposits are commonly up to three months’ rent, often plus prepaid rent, and demand is high in Copenhagen and Aarhus. A CPR number, NemKonto bank account and MitID make signing a contract easier. Practical information is available at Life in Denmark.
How do I access healthcare after moving to Denmark?
When you register for a CPR number you are enrolled in Denmark’s tax-funded public healthcare and receive a yellow health insurance card (sundhedskort) with an assigned GP, so most services are then free at the point of use. EU citizens can use a European Health Insurance Card until this is arranged. See Life in Denmark.
Can I use my driving licence in Denmark?
An EU/EEA driving licence is valid in Denmark and can be exchanged without a test, while many non-EU licences must be exchanged and some require a Danish driving test. Applications are made at Borgerservice under rules set by the Danish authorities; see the overview at Life in Denmark.
