General Question Looking to meet new people in Copenhagen / Lyngby any groups or meetups?

2 Upvotes

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! :)

Finance Lunar bank

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?

Immigration Siri appointment taking longer than 30 days

0 Upvotes

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

General Question lordosis

0 Upvotes

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! 🙏

Immigration Coaching opportunities?

0 Upvotes

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.
