If you are a non-EU citizen, Denmark is one of the hardest countries in the EU to migrate to.

Read the sidebar.

There's a foreigner section wtih "Moving to Denmark".

Focus on getting a visa or temporary residency first, that will by far be your biggest hurdle. Your best bet is probably to try to get a study visa, but since you are non-EU citizen, you need to pay for tuition, and you need to show that you have enough funding to support yourself, before you can get a visa. Also, be prepared that almost all bachelor programs in Denmark, are taught in Danish, so without passing language tests, I don't think you will be accepted for those programs.

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.

If you got a higher education or specific job skills it might be possible. You need a job to get here. And a good pay.

Might be difficult to get one without the right skills.

But it is not unheard of.

Become a doctor or an engineer. Those are the people we need.

1. Majority of young people can easily speak, write, and understand English. A large portion of older people can as well. We get taught English from first grade (I believe it is), so yeah a lot of people understand it.
2. Can't see why anyone should care what sexuality someone is. People like whatever they like. Same thing regarding being trans or whatever. I believe the majority of people in Denmark feel this way (at least based on anecdotal evidence).
3. Perfect. Denmark is known to be cold, but not like insanely cold. Mid summer can be annoying as fuck, especially when the temperature hits ~30 degrees...
4. Cost of living depends. Some cities are vastly expensive, while others are more manageable. Taxes are roughly 40 - 50%, and while it might seem like a lot, it really isn't when one thinks of how much benefit it brings.
5. It's good. The average life in Denmark is probably one of the best ones to experience in the world. High quality of living. Social security. People are a lot more trusting than in other countries. It's good. Not perfect. But good.

Where are you from? If you're not from EU then forget about Denmark. It will be next to impossible to move here.

Depending on where you live, you might actually end up finding it difficult to learn danish, because people insist on speaking English to you. That being said, it can only be a benefit to you to persist. 

I don't know all the details but afaik Denmark is... Okay for trans people. Better than a lot of other places, not fantastic. You still have to be approved to get access to hrt (that is, convince people who dont really know you that you are, indeed, trans) and if you're overweight, you'll have to find a clinic in another country and pay out of pocket if you need top surgery.

The weather is coldish, I guess, but when it's hot, it's HUMID as all hell. I would personally take dry heat over humid lukewarm any day.

How are you even gonna get a visa?

Legitimate-Web-2936 at 2024-03-21 08:14:10+00:00 ID: kvuz5n5

Are you on hrt and have a diagnosis? If not then it will take around 2 years to get started on that. I'd recommend the clinic in Aalborg as that's the best from what I've heard.

Corporal_Ginger at 2024-03-21 08:00:16+00:00 ID: kvuy2jl

Must danes speak and understand english very well. But we will love you trying to learn the language.

LGBT+ acceptance, very open. But dont expect to be put in front of the line because of it. Have seen a few north americans expect that. We care for your skills and personality, not your sexuality and so on.

Come visit us a January see for yourself before decide.

Denmark is pretty expensive, and nor getting better.

Having lived abroad I would it is pretty good. Not perfect, but what place is?

I wish you the best in life, but as many have mentioned moving here might be difficult.

If you are from Brazil and have portuguese ancestors, you might be able to (more easily) migrate to Portugal and get EU citizenship that way. They give it quite liberally since they need workers. With the EU citizenship you can migrate anywhere in EU.

Firstly, language

I haven't met a person that doesn't speak English. There are various levels, but we do speak it.

Second, LGBT+ acceptance

It's fine you're transgender and all of that. Personally I really couldn't care less - if you identify as a toaster that's fine; just be aware that it doesn't put you first in line and you're just as ordinary as others.

Third, weather

It fluctuates. You can get down to -10 to -15 in winters and 30 in the summer. Expect a lot of rain during winter, though.

Fourth, costs

As a single person, working fleksjob (I can't work full time like most due to autism so I have a part time job) I have 15.000,- DKK (10.908,47 reais) and I live quite comfortably. I pay 37% in tax.

Fifth, life

I like living in Denmark. I don't want to live abroad anymore (lived 6 months in Salvador da Bahia). I don't have the urge to jump into a van and live in all the different countries. I like the Danish vibe.

I think that if you DO get into Denmark, look for a place in Aarhus. I haven't found a place yet that has more Brazilians than Aarhus. Well, maybe Copenhagen but that is more expensive and has a lot more people.

Feel free to chat if you'd like.

I'm Danish. My boyfriend has Indian citizenship (grew up in UK and took his bachelor there). He took his master degree in DK. Coming from a non-EU country he had to pay everything himself, both the education and his living costs. He did get a certain visa after finishing the master allowing him to stay looking for a job. Today, he has a good job here, have a working visa, and wants to apply for a residence permit when it's possible. Even though he get by with English everywhere, he do take Danish classes.

So, it's not impossible, but I think the best "way in" is to take an education here, if you can afford it. Maybe there is some scholars you can apply to. Otherwise, you have to find a job here before you come, but I'm pretty sure it has to pay more than 375.000 a year. That's gonna be very difficult as a minor... it's not enough just working at a café then. 🫠

However, I have met people from South America working as au pairs... I'm not sure if there are other rules there or if they might have ancestors in Portugal/Italy/Spain? Bc that would def help your situation as well. I've studied with South Americans in Sweden who used that way of getting into the country/or getting their education paid.

I'm sorry for you that it's so difficult. Because of our big welfare system we do have a lot of restrictions for immigrants... however, some sectors also desperately need more employers, so the rules might change in the future if you're educated within e.g. health, care, or technical stuff.

I think in your case, somewhere like Canada might be a better fit.

therapistuncle at 2024-03-21 17:48:44+00:00 ID: kvx5jjt

you have no chance in hell of coming here, sorry to be the bearer of bad news
