Hello everyone, I'm having plans about moving from my home country for a while now, and Denmark seems like a good place to live, but I wanted to know more about it.

Firstly, language: According to Google, Denmark has about 80% of the population speaking English, how true is that? I am aware that if I'm planning to move to a country with a different language I most likely should learn it's native language, but I want to know how much of the country is "in English" if this makes sense.

Second, LGBT+ acceptance: I'm transgender and really can't come out in my country due to political/religious issues conflicting with it, and according to a friend of mine, Denmark is one of the most accepting countries when it comes to LGBT+ people.

Third, weather: Although not a main priority of my possible future destination, it's definitely something I consider heavily. I hate hot weather and it started to get me to consider moving to colder parts of the globe for a more bearable living. Considering how northern Denmark is compared to many countries, I'd like to know how the weather is usually like out there.

Fourth, costs: I'm underage and can't really do much at the moment, and costs have always been on my mind about everything, so knowing things like how much taxes are paid, the average cost of living, food, and such is definitely in my interest.

Fifth, life: How is it to live in Denmark? This may sound silly but it's a genuine question I have, how do you feel about living in Denmark? What's good or bad about it? What you did or did not like about it?

I'm looking for a place to be able to settle down safely and have a comfortable life in, from what I've seen, Denmark looks like a lovely place to be in and I'd like to know more about it.

Any help is appreciated! :) And feel free to ask questions if you have any!

Edit: Thought I should mention, I'm Brazilian

  1. You'll get by with English (depending on career) with no issues, but it's advised to start learning Danish on arrival
  2. Can't really comment on that, but most parts of Denmark probably don't care what you do or what you like
  3. It's cold and rainy. Winter lasts forever, and it's not really winter but more an eternal grayness
  4. If you're underage, how will you support yourself? Cost are high in the biggest cities, but most people can get by with minimum wage jobs.
  5. I like it here. Can't really see any other alternative places I'd live without having to rearrange my life in a big way (maybe the Netherlands, but that's about it).

6th - eligibility - if you're not an EU citizen and you're underage without a higher degree of education that could lead to a job on the qualified list - then I'm sorry to say, but your chances of getting a visa are next to nothing. Denmark is a very restrictive country for immigration and without a high paying job already lined up, moving here is almost impossible.

I see, about 5, I mentioned that since I don't plan on moving so soon. Moving out of my country is something I've been planning for a good few years now, but I've only recently started to question my possible options, so I'm mostly asking questions to figure out what's the best for me to do going forward. I can't do much now but I plan on start making a foundation to what's possibly to come.
