Moving to Denmark involves paperwork, but Relocare guides you through it all.
Non-EU citizens need a work permit and following familiy will need a resident permit.
EU citizens must register for the EU-registration before applying for, and getting the CPR number.
Spouses and children must also register, regardless of marital status.
Relocare helps with permits, CPR numbers, and connects you with the right authorities. We also assist with MitID, NemKonto, E-boks, and settling into everyday life.
Employing international talent in Denmark involves far more than submitting an application. Choosing the right immigration route from the outset influences processing times, compliance obligations and the employee’s ability to work, relocate and settle successfully in Denmark.
At Relocare, we advise employers, HR teams and international employees throughout the entire immigration process—from the initial assessment to work and residence permits, EU registration, CPR registration and post-arrival compliance.
Our objective is simple:
Compliance for employers. Confidence for employees.
No two international assignments are the same.
Nationality, qualifications, salary level, job responsibilities and future mobility plans all influence which Danish immigration scheme is the most appropriate.
Before any application is submitted, we assess both the employee’s and the employer’s situation to identify the most suitable immigration strategy.
We advise on, among other things:
The right advice at the beginning significantly reduces the risk of delays, refusals and unnecessary compliance issues later in the assignment.
Relocare manages every stage of the Danish immigration process, including:
From the initial assessment to the employee’s first day at work, we keep both employers and employees informed throughout the process.
A Danish work permit is not a static approval.
Changes to employment conditions may affect an employee’s right to live and work in Denmark and can trigger new immigration obligations.
We therefore continue advising throughout the assignment, including:
By addressing these changes before they are implemented, we help employers remain compliant while reducing unnecessary business risk.
Relocare has extensive experience advising certified companies under Denmark’s Fast-track Scheme.
We assist organisations with certification, immigration strategy, application management, permit renewals and ongoing compliance, helping employers meet SIRI’s requirements while ensuring a smooth experience for international employees.
For official information about living and working in Denmark, we recommend New to Denmark, the official website of the Danish immigration authorities.
It provides comprehensive guidance on residence permits, work permits, registration procedures and practical information for international employees and their families.
For most international employees, obtaining a work permit is only the first step.
Our immigration specialists work closely with Relocare’s experts in relocation, international taxation, social security and payroll, ensuring every aspect of the international assignment is coordinated through one trusted partner.
This integrated approach creates a smoother experience for both employers and employees, reduces compliance risks and helps international talent settle successfully in Denmark from day one.
Relocare provides practical and personal guidance to international employees and helps employers create a safe and efficient start in Denmark.
