When moving from abroad to Denmark, there are some requirements you should be aware of:
- Your stay must last more than three months
- You must have a residence or a fixed place to stay
- If you are a citizen of an EU country, you must have a registration certificate
- If you are a citizen of a non-EU country, you must have a residence permit
Apply for residence permit
If you are not going to live in Denmark, but only need to pay tax in Denmark
If you do not need to be registered as residing in the CPR (Civil Registration System) but are required to pay tax in Denmark, you must contact the Danish Tax Agency (Skattestyrelsen) and request a so-called tax identification number (skattepersonnummer).
A tax identification number is a regular personal identification number, so if you later move to Denmark, you will be registered in the CPR with the already assigned number.

Special health insurance card
If you are staying in Denmark without being registered in the Danish Civil Registration System, you may, in some cases, be entitled to the special health insurance card.
To determine if you are covered by Danish social security, you must provide information about your current situation when applying for the special health insurance card.
You can apply at lifeindenmark.dk
Report your arrival
After you have received your EU registration certificate or residence permit from the Danish Immigration Service/Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI), you can report your arrival at the International House in Copenhagen or at the Kalundborg Citizen Services' office in Kalundborg
You must book an appointment before showing up at the Citizen Services office.
