Just got Married in Denmark - Odense, yesterday.
(Look how absolutely stunning my wife looks, i can’t stop looking at the photo’s)

We have loved Odense & are here until tomorrow, then we head to Copenhagen for a few days until Saturday!
What are some fun things you like to do in Copenhagen? Maybe museums or parks to visit or general nice views?

We have loved being here & can’t wait to see more :)

Hello everyone, I am writing on behalf of my 22 year old fiancé, who moved here a month ago, and is feeling a little lonely and is looking for friends.

In the picture he's the one to the left.

We live in the northern side of copenhagen in gladsaxe, with great transport to the rest of copenhagen.

He's a trans man (FtM) and is looking for friends with similar interests like: Hoyoverse games, hades, league of legends, valorant, drawing, shows like: Hannibal, heartstopper, shameless, makeup and general feminine things like clothing and so on and finally creative stuff like crocheting.

Please send a dm in reddit or on my discord: Pluto1v5 if you're interested.

Hello! I just moved here about a year ago and am struggling with the healthcare system. I have severely low ferritin and need an iron transfusion but every GP I have been to tells me they don’t think it's a big issue. Has anyone had any luck with this in Copenhagen? I can't seem to find any private or public clinics that offer it in the area. Thank you!!

I am looking for an extra source of income and am considering the idea of an apartment cleaning business. I am sure there are many older people or busy young professionals who would pay for their apartment to be cleaned in 2hrs for around 500kr. I was just thinking of taking my equipment around in a cart behind my bike or in a Christania bike.

Do you think that you would consider this, if you received a flyer or advertisement in your letterbox? Det ville være skrevet på engelsk og dansk, selvom mit dansk ikke er helt perfekt endnu. I don't have professional cleaning experience but I enjoy creating a clean, productive space and have worked in kitchens where cleaning and hygeine are essential. I work hard, I'm honest and I would always refund or come back again if people are not happy with the results.

I’m a U.S. citizen currently in Denmark on free 90 day visa stay and preparing an AO1 application as the parent of a minor Danish citizen. I’d be very interested in hearing from anyone who has had a similar case, especially recently.

My situation in brief:

* I’m American and my daughter is a 2-year-old Danish citizen who has always lived in Denmark.

* Her mother is Danish.

* Her mother and I are not a couple, but we have a very good/cooperative co-parenting relationship.

* We have joint custody.

* Before moving here, I traveled between the U.S. and Denmark regularly (every 3-4 months for about 3 weeks at a time) to maintain my relationship with my daughter and had daily FaceTimes with her while apart. They also came to visit in the states 1-2 times each year.

* I sold my home, left my job and traveled to Denmark August 1st 2026 and currently live in the same home as my daughter and her mother. (Financially secure even though not working right now, so no issue with finances during the anticipated long wait)

* I’m actively involved in my daughter’s daily care and routines, including things like daycare/vuggestue drop-offs and pickups and normal day-to-day parenting.

* By the time the AO1 application is submitted, we will have been living together in Denmark for roughly 2 months.

* While the application is pending, I expect to remain in the same household if procedural stay is approved and continue the same daily parenting arrangement.

* Long term, once I have residence and can establish myself independently, I plan to get my own apartment nearby, while continuing frequent/daily co-parenting. The intention is not to end the parenting arrangement—just for her mom and me to have separate homes.

* My attorney is planning to use AO1 / Article 20 TFEU as the primary basis, focusing on the dependency relationship between my daughter and me.

* The application will also raise EU and international family-life/children’s-rights arguments as a secondary basis, including the importance of a young child being able to maintain a meaningful relationship and regular contact with both parents.

I’d especially like to hear from anyone who:

* applied as a non-EU parent of a Danish child;

* was not in a romantic relationship with the Danish parent;

* had joint custody or a substantial shared-care arrangement;

* lived separately from the other parent, or planned to do so;

* applied after only a relatively short period of living together in Denmark;

* stayed in Denmark on procedural stay while the case was processed; or

* received an initial refusal and later appealed.

If you’re comfortable sharing, I’d be very interested in how long your case took, whether you were approved initially or on appeal, whether you were allowed to remain in Denmark during an appeal, and what evidence seemed most important in your case.

Also, anyone with legal expertise that has an opinion on my likelihood of approval?

Hello! I'm a 22 y/o Spanish student of OHS, with a sister who's lived in Denmark for a few years, mostly to work and then be able to return to Spain with some money. My partner is 22 y/o and studying Computer Engeneering and Videogame Design.

My sister has always talked great about the country and always told me and my partner that we should move (as the situation in Spain is not the best, and things are pretty hard around here), and I've been considering the option for a while now, while she also told me that the first months she spent there were quite harsh, as she still needed to get everything in order and most importantly get a credit card. I still have to finish my studies (around 2 years) and maybe get some work experience, but I'd love to move out and start a new life in Denmark.

I've been looking for some information about OHS in the country, and I couldn't find much. My biggest worry when moving out is the job and maybe the house market. I'm saving some money and I believe the right amount to be able to move out would be to have around 3k saved, just to start there while we try to find a job.

Anyway, would I have it hard to try to find a job in that field if I know English (C1 level), and have at least a year of work experience on the field?

Any tips and advice will be helpful for us :)

EDIT: forgot to mention it but we're also planning to learn Danish.

Thanks a lot!

Hello everyone, please am I the only one in this situation?

I submitted my biometrics alongside my spouse on 5 June. Interview was done 30 July

Since then, I have not gotten my residence permit

I've been calling SIRI every week and they keep saying it's in process.

My school (Aarhus University) has given deadline to resume (September 7) and same deadline to request for a refund of tuition fee.

The waiting is frustrating and tiring

hey there,

I’m a young musician (24) based in Cph, been living here for ~3 years

would he absolutely down to form/join a band as a guitarist/bassist

would really love to play modern metal core (something like Ocean Ate Alaska, Boundaries, Structures, Polaris) or something similar to Uk alternative rock, such as Basement or anything in between, like post hardcore

I compose my own music and have reached a point where I’ve realized that I want to get that spirit of collaboration and live playing

if you’re ready to get really invested too let’s connect!

I want to study a bachelor's degree in Denmark or Sweden right after high school. I'm a student from Romania, so the application process can be quite challenging and I want to connect with other international students who applied to a bachelor's degree in these countries during their last year of high school.
So if anyone is in the knows I'd be happy to hear from them :)

Hii guys, I hope it's not too much of a repetitive topic here, but I wanted to get a bachelor's degree and unfortunately I don't have anyone else to rely on, but myself, so I was planning on applying to university in Denmark to try and find a part-time job to leave off in addition to the SU. I'm from EU and I have a bit of savings that could hopefully last maybe a year or more (I'm quite frugal), so I wanted to know if it's realistic to move there with the expectation of finding a part-time job without speaking any Danish. I'm a bit older than the average university student, so I have some work experience across different countries in the EU. I also have a few visible tattoos (hand and fingers) which might make it harder. Do you guys think it's doable or too risky?

Hey I just moved from madrid to Cph and I have some clothes still there. I've been loking for options but reviews are very mixed for cheap companies and DHL is 600€ for two big boxes.

Does someone know any more reliable shipping companies?

Hi,

Is anyone using a phone with a de-googled operating system where MidID doesnt work? What are your workarounds? Or does it work by now?

I’m a non-EU citizen with permanent residency in Denmark, and I want to apply for family reunification for my spouse. My permanent residency will reach three years in mid-October. Should I apply now, since the processing time may be longer?

Hey, how long it took you to open lunar? Im eu citizen I have cpr mitid and it takes over 1 month. Instead od asking everything the first day when I apllied every 10 days they have new questions and it takes 10 days for them to ask me another new question wtf is this. Now they are asking about international transfer, and I need to elaborate why I want to send 2-3 times per year some money for my other bank account, and of course 10 days waiting for the answer Im really annoyed witg them. What was you experience with them?

Bit of a specific question here. I'm a potter/ceramic artist, and thinking about setting up a shipping container as a studio. It would include a wheel, some shelves, water buckets, and possibly a small kiln. As a shipping container, it could easily be closed/locked up when not in use, and even shipped back to the US if we end up relocating after a few years.

I've moved here from the US, and while I'm familiar with how to go about finding a space to rent to place such a container, I don't know if such a thing is possible here in Denmark - what laws/codes would be applicable, etc.

Ideally, I'd like to rent a private piece of property with electrical hookup that I can run/plug in to the container. On-property water source would also be necessary, though not plumbing or even drinking water - just a water source for pottery.

I've seen many construction sites with containers used by the construction company as an office/shop/etc, but I don't know if such a thing is possible for private use.

Does anyone know if/how such a thing could be done?

Just curious what’s a better and more financially sound point of nego? Anyone who’s had experience?

Hi everyone! 👋
I’m curious about what social life in Denmark is actually like, especially when it comes to making friends and getting to know new people.
I’ve heard that Danes can be a little reserved with strangers, and that making close friends can sometimes take quite a while. But I’d rather hear it from actual Danes than rely on stereotypes 😂
So I have a few random questions:
• How do you usually make new friends in Denmark?
• Would you find it weird if a stranger just started talking to you?
• If you meet someone you think is interesting, how do you normally show that you’d like to get to know them better?
• Do Danish people usually text their friends every day, or is it more normal to talk occasionally?
• And what’s dating like? Is it usually pretty casual in the beginning?
I’d especially love to hear from people around my age（25F）, but honestly, anyone is welcome to share their experience.
I’m just genuinely curious about Danish culture and would love to hear your perspective. 😊
And if you feel like chatting with a curious foreigner, feel free to say hi!

Hi! I am travel to Copenhagan with a friend (both 18) specifically for Halloween. I want to buy tickets for Tivoli Gardens for the 31st because I hear that place is the most involved with Halloween. Is there enough to do there to spend the entire day? Also I would gladly welcome any reccommendations for the other 2.5 days that we have in Copenhagan!! Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I'm relocating to Denmark from the UAE on the Pay Limit Scheme (beløbsordningen) to start a new job near Vojens/Haderslev. I'll be staying in an Airbnb for my first ~2 months while I sort out permanent housing (looking in Vejle).

From what I've read, you need a CPR-eligible address to register, and most Airbnbs aren't approved for this since they're registered as short-term/commercial accommodation.

A few questions for anyone who's been through this:

1. Has anyone successfully registered CPR using an Airbnb address? Did the host need to sign something specific, or was it a lost cause?

2. How strict is Sønderborg's ICS/Borgerservice in practice about the "register within 5 days" rule if I genuinely don't have a CPR-eligible address yet?

3. Did your employer help arrange interim housing that solved this, and is that common?

Any real experience (especially in the Jutland/Sønderjylland area, not just Copenhagen) would be hugely appreciated. Trying to avoid getting stuck without CPR access to a bank account, health card, or MitID for weeks.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I’m trying to contact (email, app) post nord for past few days, but I haven’t gotten a reply. Who could I contact? I sent a package to UK but I didn’t need to fill out any customs declaration. I sent it out like 8 days ago and now it’s showing that it’s in the same city I sent it out from. Btw I’m from Denmark.

Hi everyone,

I’m a bit confused about our situation and would really appreciate some advice from anyone who has been through something similar in Denmark.

My girlfriend and I had been together for around 4 years before getting married in Denmark. Before the marriage, we applied through Familieretshuset, and they granted us permission to legally marry in Denmark.

As part of that process, we had to provide documents and evidence showing that our relationship/marriage had a legal basis, including evidence covering the previous years and we got married here.

We are now going through EU family reunification with SIRI. SIRI has asked us to provide information/documents regarding our relationship before marriage.

We have sent everything they asked for, but I’m quite confused about why this is being assessed again when Familieretshuset had already reviewed our case and granted us permission to marry legally in this country.

Has anyone here been in a similar situation?
