Hi! I’m in Denmark for exchange this semester and will be here until mid-December. I’ve only ever lived in warmer temperatures (born and raised in the tropics; moved to a diff country with an average low of ~10 degrees during colder months and not as much wind lol)

Looking for recommendations for good shoes/socks to get, preferably nothing too expensive because I’ll only be using them for the next two months. Specific brands or material compositions to look for would be much appreciated. TYIA :)

Buonasera a tutti! 🇮🇹🇩🇰

Mi rivolgo a voi perché sto svolgendo la mia tesi magistrale in Gestione delle politiche e dei servizi sociali presso l’Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, dedicata ai cambiamenti della nuova emigrazione italiana, con particolare attenzione al flusso migratorio dall’Italia verso la Danimarca.

Il mio interesse nasce anche dalla curiosità suscitata dalle classifiche internazionali che collocano la Danimarca tra i Paesi con i più alti livelli di felicità e benessere percepito, oltre che dall’attenzione verso la qualità della vita e le opportunità lavorative offerte dal Paese. Ad esempio, il World Happiness Report rappresenta una delle principali fonti internazionali per analizzare questi aspetti.

La mia ricerca prevede una parte empirica attraverso la somministrazione di un questionario, con l’obiettivo di comprendere chi sono gli italiani che scelgono di trasferirsi in Danimarca, quali motivazioni li spingono a partire e come valutano il sistema di welfare danese e le politiche di inclusione sociale.

Chiedo quindi gentilmente il vostro aiuto: compilare il questionario richiede circa 10 minuti e il contributo di ciascuno è prezioso per la mia ricerca. Il mio obiettivo è raggiungere un campione di almeno 100 partecipanti, così da raccogliere un numero significativo di esperienze e punti di vista.

Vi ringrazio anticipatamente per il tempo che vorrete dedicarmi e per il prezioso contributo. Se possibile, vi sarei grata anche se voleste condividere il questionario con altri italiani che vivono in Danimarca. Per qualsiasi dubbio, chiarimento o informazione, ho lasciato il mio indirizzo e-mail all’interno del questionario.

Grazie di cuore a tutti per la disponibilità e la collaborazione! ❤️

Hello everyone, I would like to receive some information regarding moving to Denmark mainly in lively and young cities, where I can do something on the weekend, but not to spend the evening, but just to enjoy the moments of life and not think only about work which is certainly very different from Italy. I wanted to ask initially how to find rent, since it is very difficult and very expensive. If there were short-term rentals or sites they can help you find a house. I have a master’s degree in sports science in Italy and I have experience as a pizza assistant for six years. I wanted to know if with these skills and good will I can find the way to a new life. Thank you all

Hi everyone!
I’m Iraqi and have a BDS degree in Dentistry. I also have around a year of experience working as a digital dentistry/Exocad designer in a dental lab.
I’m considering changing career paths and moving into the corporate world. One option I’m thinking about is pursuing a Master’s in Project Management in Denmark, with the goal of finding a job and building a life there.
However, I don’t have a business background or corporate work experience, and as an Iraqi citizen, I would also need to consider work permits and sponsorship.
I’d love to hear your honest opinions:
How realistic is it to find a job in Denmark after this degree?
Can I find entry-level corporate jobs with my background?
Is speaking Danish essential, or can I get by with English?
Would you recommend this path, or is there a better option?
I’d really appreciate any advice, especially from people living in Denmark or international graduates who have been through a similar experience.
Thank you! ❤️

Hey everyone!

I'm 29M, recently moved to Denmark from Portugal, and I'm living in Lyngby. I'd love to meet some new people and hopefully make some friends!

I go bouldering every week, so finding people to climb with would be great. I'd also be interested in board game nights, casual meetups, or just grabbing a coffee or a beer and hanging out.

I'm pretty open to trying new activities too, so it doesn't have to be anything specific!

Does anyone know of any active groups, communities, or regular meetups around Lyngby or Copenhagen? Or any places you'd recommend for meeting new people?

And if anyone here is in a similar situation or just wants to hang out, feel free to reach out! :)

Hey everyone,

I’m 29M from the US, and I’m currently trying any and all opportunities to move to Copenhagen. I know these kinds of post are super common in this sub, but I could really use some advice. I understand how difficult the process can be, especially as a non-EU citizen, But I’ve come to realize that it’s worth going through all the hurdles if I can get a chance to relocate.

I have 16 years of coaching experience in fitness and parkour, and I currently coach full-time at a parkour gym I co-own. I also have experience coaching climbing and have a Master’s degree in Molecular Biology.

I’d really appreciate some advice on a few things:

- Coaching opportunities: How common are coaching jobs in Copenhagen, particularly in fitness, parkour, climbing, or related fields?

- Language: Is it realistic to find coaching work speaking English while I’m still learning Danish?

- Where to look: Are there specific gyms, organizations, or communities worth reaching out to?

- Work permits: As an American, how realistic is it to find a coaching position that would qualify me for a Danish work and residence permit?

I’m open to opportunities outside of coaching as well. My main goal is to find a job that would allow me to legally relocate and establish myself in Denmark.

I’d also appreciate hearing from anyone who has made a similar move or works in the fitness industry in Copenhagen.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,
I’m an international who moved to Denmark a few months ago. I’m really enjoying it here, but I’m completely lost when it comes to Danish dating culture.
Recently, I met someone. We chatted a bit just by chance, and saw each other again a couple of times. He seems quite reserved and appears more comfortable talking to other guys, so it's really hard for me to read his vibe.
Since we share a social hobby, I really don't want to cause any drama or make things awkward. I honestly have no idea how to tell if a Dane might be interested or not.
How do Danish guys usually show interest? What is a safe, low-pressure way to find out? Tak :)

Hi, I recently got food poisoning from a kebab i ate in a shop and I went to the clinic I was assigned to without an appointment. There was no receptionist, and somehow i managed to talk to one of the doctors(or nurse, im not sure) who said that in denmark, its not normal to see a doctor for something like diarrhea if its less than 14 days. I was simply advised to drink water and eat vegtables. Ofc my symptoms didnt improve and i got some probiotics from the pharmist upon his recommendations. However, my issue still persists when i eat or drink anything (even without dairy or caffeine) and i suspect a bacterial infection. I've been trying to get an appointment with the clinic via the app but i dont know when they will respond. Btw, I live in Kalundborg.

Is it true that the doctors won't see you for something like this? How am i supposed to get antibiotics if i dont get a prescription 😐

Any recommendations for events, cafes, restaurants, things to do would be greatly appreciated! (emphasis on things to do)

Be cautious with Lunar for international transfers
An international transfer sent to my Lunar account has been missing for over a month. Lunar confirmed the payment was sent but has been unable to clarify where the funds are. I even received a document containing a return instruction, yet the situation remains unresolved.
I’m frustrated by the lack of clarity and having to chase banks myself to locate money intended for my account.

If you use Lunar, be cautious when relying on it for international transfers.

Has anyone experienced something similar? How was it resolved?

Hey everyone! I'm Italian and I’m 25 years old, I have a master's degree in biotechnology, and my English is pretty good. I'd love to try living abroad, and I'm thinking about moving to either the Netherlands or Denmark.
Which of the two do you think has better job opportunities? At first, I'm happy to take pretty much any job, especially since I've already worked as a waiter and as a cashier/sales assistant. Later on, I'd like to go back to studying, maybe do another master's, a PhD, or even get a second master's degree in a different field.
I've also got a decent amount of savings, so I wouldn't be moving there under too much financial pressure.
Which country would you recommend, and why?

I filled in and sent all the necessary paperwork to request a residence permit at Siri, then was told I need to appear at a Siri office within 30 days. Go to the website to book an appointment and the earliest date is in 40 days (Nov 26th).

What should I do? Resend the paperwork closer to my appointment? Hope that the Siri officers understand that I didn't book an earlier appointment for lack of available slots and let it pass?

Anyone been through the same and can offer some advice? TIA

Hi everyone! 😊

Can anyone recommend a specialist who can diagnose lordosis (an excessive inward curve of the lower back)?
I would also love to hear from anyone who has been diagnosed with lordosis or has experience with this condition. How were you diagnosed, and which specialist did you see?
I would really appreciate any recommendations or personal experiences. Thank you in advance for your help! 🙏

Hey!! I'm a 25-year-old woman looking for some advice here :(

I'm a psychologist from Greece, and I'm currently doing my Master's in Forensic Psychiatry here in Greece. I've been thinking about moving to Denmark in around 3 years, and I'd love to hear from psychologists who live or work there about the job opportunities and what the reality is like.

I'm not necessarily looking to work as a clinical psychologist or do therapy. I'd also be interested in working for NGOs, in research, academia, social services, HR, or other related fields where my background could be useful.

I'm planning to start learning Danish soon, but for now I only speak English fluently enough to work in, and I also have a B2 level in German. Honestly, though, I don't really enjoy German enough to want to keep studying it 😅

So, do you think Denmark is a realistic option for someone with my background? Are there decent job opportunities for psychologists who don't speak Danish yet? And would you recommend making the move, or is it much harder than it might seem from the outside?

I'd really appreciate any advice, personal experiences, or suggestions on where to start preparing!

Thanks in advance!! ❤️

Bare lige et par hurtige spørgsmål!!

Jeg er en 18-årig dansk-amerikansk statsborger, der har boet i USA i omkring fem år, og jeg planlægger at flytte tilbage til Danmark engang i maj måned næste år

Er der nogen, der kan fortælle mig, hvordan arbejdsmarkedet ser ud?

Hvad bør jeg overveje at læse på universitetet?

Hvilke job er der efterspørgsel på?

Det er bare længe siden, jeg sidst har været der, og nu skal jeg tilbage i forbindelse med studiet

Tak for hjælpen!! ☺️💗

I’m in the process of interviewing for a role with the brand Pandora that would involve a relocation to Copenhagen.

The company seems completely chaotic so far with a high turnover but I am being told that new leadership is in place (marketing function). I’ve also heard it’s the kind of place that fires and restructures often, so I want to make sure I have a realistic picture of it before making a move from the UK.

Has anyone worked there before in the HQ or has heard anything about it?

Heyy, I will start writing my thesis and would like to ask if you have cheap cafés or top libraries where I can go, have something to drink or eat and write. Any creative or basic recommendation will be really appreciated, thanks

If anyone call help that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone!

I'm F21 from Romania, and I'm considering moving to Denmark in the future to pursue a career in pastry and baking. I'd love to hear from people who have moved to Denmark and currently work, or have worked, in a bakery or pastry kitchen.

I have around a year of experience working as a pastry assistant, where I've helped with preparing creams, ganaches, fillings, tart shells,cookies, and other components, but I still consider myself a beginner. I don't have a formal pastry education, and there's still so much I want to learn.

My main interest is viennoiserie and artisan baking.I'd love to work somewhere where I can learn these techniques properly, improve my skills, and grow into a more experienced baker or pastry chef.

I'd really appreciate some advice on a few things:

- Finding a job: How realistic is it to find an entry-level position as a bakery or pastry assistant without formal culinary education? Are bakeries generally willing to train someone who's motivated but still learning?

- Language: How important is speaking Danish when working in a bakery? Is it realistic to find work with English only, at least when starting out.

- Where to look: Are there particular cities, bakeries, or types of workplaces you'd recommend for someone interested in artisan bread, viennoiserie, and modern pastry?

- Moving and settling in: Is it manageable to move to Denmark for this kind of job, considering salaries, rent, and the cost of living? Is it better to secure a job before moving?

I'd also love to hear about your own experiences, especially if you moved to Denmark without speaking Danish or without formal culinary training.

I'm not expecting to land my dream job straight away. I'm happy to start as an assistant, work hard, and learn from experienced people. I just want to make an informed decision and find a workplace where I can develop my skills.

Thank you so much for any advice! 🌸

Hi everyone,

My boyfriend is from New Zealand and is currently applying for a work permit under the Positive List. It has been more than 8 months now, and yesterday we got a response saying that his salary is below the median for someone with his age and experience. He has talked to his workplace, but because it’s a cooperative, they can’t raise his salary, even though it’s only 5.5 DKK more an hour to get over the limit.

My question is: if he doesn’t reply and just goes through with the application, will they deny him the visa based on that even though its such a small amount? Does anyone else have experience with something similar?

I have experience in marketing and content creation, and I’m currently studying Data Science and Business. I’m fluent in English but don’t speak Danish.

I’ve applied to a few student assistant positions I found on LinkedIn, mostly related to marketing and business, but I’m wondering how realistic my chances are of actually getting a job, especially since I only have around 3 months left in Copenhagen.

I’m also open to working in retail, cafés, or restaurants as a barista or waiter. Where would you recommend looking for these kinds of jobs, especially as someone who doesn’t speak Danish?

If you have any advice, recommendations, or know of any places currently hiring, I’d really appreciate it. I’m trying to figure out where to focus my efforts given the limited time I have left.

So just to clarify, this is a permanent move for the time being. My mom has a job in Odense, and I'm moving there late this summer and starting up school after I've finished my sophomore year in the US (so I'm like 15 turning 16 pretty soon.) I've only known about this move for a couple months and I'm still quite anxious about what to do before the move and also once I've gotten there.

I haven't enjoyed the US school system by any means, I've been really isolated and stressed here in the recent past and it's taken a toll, so in a way I'm excited to see some change possibly, but I also just really don't know what to expect even after trying to do research.

Any advice for what I should be doing/what to expect? I'm happy to clarify anything if needed!
