New in Denmark

Welcome to Denmark!

If you are a citizen of an EU/EEA country, Switzerland or a Nordic country (Finland, Iceland, Norway or Sweden), you are free to live, study and work in Denmark. But there are a number of things you need to keep in mind.

Roughly speaking, there are three ways you can live and work in Denmark:

• You can be employed and have an address in your home country, but work in Denmark. (aka: Posted Worker)

• You can be employed in Denmark but have your address in your home country.

• You can have both address and contract in Denmark. If you have, or want to have a danish address and contract you can get instructions on how to get started, in English here: https://lifeindenmark.borger.dk/theme/when-you-arrive

Unless you are a Posted Worker (point 1), then you need to make sure that you get the following things as soon as possible:

• Health card (yellow card): https://lifeindenmark.borger.dk/healthcare/health-insurance/health-insurance-card
