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.

General Question Hematologists in CPH?

0 Upvotes

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!!

Work Apartment cleaning business in Copenhagen.

0 Upvotes

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.

Immigration AO1 Parent of Danish Child - Anyone have similar experience?

0 Upvotes

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?

Immigration Occupational Health and Safety student (LGBTQ+) from Spain, planning to move to Denmark as soon as we can, how's the job market for my field?

0 Upvotes

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!
