Denmark is for you,

if you're ready to unpack a new life

Moving to a new country is a big step. New routines, new systems, new culture and language... But relocating to Denmark doesn’t have to feel like leaping into the unknown. With well-structured processes, digital-first systems, and a culture built on trust, the transition becomes smoother than you might imagine.

So how do you go about finding your feet in Denmark? From getting your CPR number to finding your first apartment, Denmark has a way of making complex things feel… somewhat manageable. Soon enough, life settles into a rhythm — work-life balance isn’t just a slogan, bikes are everywhere, and the day-to-day starts to feel comfortably normal.

Our tip: Don’t try to master everything at once. Relocation is a journey... Luckily,  there’s a whole support system ready to help you take it step by step!

First things first, here are a few essentials to take care of:

• Finding a place to live: The housing market can be competitive, especially in bigger cities. Start early, stay flexible, and explore areas beyond the center — Denmark’s charm often lies in its smaller neighbourhoods and coastal towns.

• Getting your CPR number: This is your key to almost everything: banking, healthcare, phone plans — even library cards. Once you have it, daily life starts clicking into place.

• Health care and insurance: Your yellow health card gives you access to Denmark’s universal health care system. And yes — doctor visits are free.

• Bringing your family: Schools, childcare, and after-school activities are reliable, affordable, and community-driven — perfect for helping children settle in quickly.

We’ve gathered guides and tools to help you navigate your first weeks — and feel at home faster.
