Key Prerequisites

Requirements

Essential criteria to consider before your move.

1

Visa & Residence Permits

EU/EEA Citizens generally do not need a visa but must register with local authorities after arrival (often within 90 days). Non-EU citizens must apply for residence and work permits before arriving. Each country has specific immigration regulations, so ensure you check local requirements.

2

Registration & Social Systems

You’ll need to obtain a personal identification number (such as CPR in Denmark or Personnummer in Sweden) to access healthcare, open a bank account, and register for utilities. Most countries require proof of income, housing, and health insurance to complete this process.

3

Language

English is widely spoken, especially in urban areas and workplaces. However, learning the local language will ease integration and open up more opportunities.
