A dedicated team team of Danish Customs Experts

Any move to Denmark from the UK involves customs, and this is usually the part people worry about most. We do our best to make it as simple and stress free as possible. We plan ahead and make sure you have everything in place and that your goods are cleared as far in advance as we can. Typically, we clear customs at either Padborg or Copenhagen customs offices, depending on where in Denmark you are moving to.

Because we handle moves to and from Denmark so regularly, we know what is required, what causes delays, and how to avoid problems before they even happen. You will be told clearly what is needed, what can and cannot be shipped, and what to expect, without being buried in jargon or left guessing.

From collection in the UK to delivery in Denmark, the whole move is handled as one organised process, not a series of handovers. That is what keeps things simple, predictable and stress free.

Thinking about moving to Denmark?

Denmark consistently ranks as one of the happiest countries in the world. With a rich history and culture, unending coastlines and an excellent work-life balance, it is no surprise that Denmark is a popular destination for British ex-pats.  

Despite having a population of under 6 million people, Denmark tops the list in many metrics of national performance, including social mobility, income inequality and per capita income.  

Expats relocating to Denmark can also benefit from its world-class healthcare, education and economic programs, envied and emulated around the world for their superiority.  

Removals to Denmark

Danish society is known for its high quality of life, its strong sense of community, and its innovative and forward-thinking approach. The friendly culture and large ex-pat community make it a great destination to relocate to from the UK. 

Moving from the UK to Denmark

Since Denmark is in the Schengen Area, British citizens can stay in Denmark visa-free for up to 90 days. However, if you want to move to Denmark from the UK for longer than this, there are a few things you need to do before your removals to Denmark. 

You will first need to obtain a Danish residence permit. You can do this by applying for one at a Danish embassy, or even before moving to Denmark at a consulate in the UK.  

Once you have obtained a residence permit, you will need to find a place to live in Denmark. There are a few options for finding housing in Denmark, including renting an apartment, finding a room in a shared apartment, or living in a student residence hall. Once you have found a place to live, you will need to register your address with the Danish government.  

 Finally, ex-pats moving from the UK to Denmark will need to obtain a Danish work permit if they wish to work. You can do this yourself, or, alternatively, give your employer permission to apply for you. 

While there are now more steps involved in moving from the UK to Denmark than there were before Brexit, Denmark has one of the most organised, streamlined and simple visa processes in the world. Additionally, the Danish government site for visa applications offers extensive information in English. 

 With its high wages, flexible economy and high standard of living it is no real surprise that Denmark is quickly becoming a popular destination for Brits looking to relocate for a better life abroad. If you are planning to move to Denmark from the UK, ensure that your move is simple and smooth by choosing Matthew James Removals for all your removals needs.

Denmark is also an attractive destination for ex-pats due to its strong economy and low unemployment rate.

Travelling in Denmark

Denmark is perfectly located to visit a plethora of fantastic destinations. It is the southernmost country in Scandinavia and borders Germany to the south and Sweden to the northwest. The Skagerrak Strait separates it from Norway, and the sea routes between the countries offer stunning scenery. 

Even travelling within the country is a fascinating experience. Denmark consists of a peninsula mainland, Jutland, as well as an archipelago of over 400 islands. The largest of these islands is the North Jutlandic Island, Funen and Zealand, where the Danish capital, Copenhagen, is located. The islands are home to a variety of different landscapes and attractions, from sandy beaches to forests. The island of Kattegat, midway between Jutland and Sweden, is even home to Northern Europe’s largest desert.

Speaking Danish

However, learning a little Danish can make it easier to settle in and make friends, and will also show your commitment to integrating into Danish society. It can also help your job prospects in Denmark. 

Danish is surprisingly similar to English, and many ex-pats say that learning some Danish has felt natural and easy. There are many resources available to help you learn Danish, both online and offline, so it should not be too difficult to pick up the basics. Even learning a few key phrases can make a big difference to your experience of living in Denmark, and Danes are always happy to help others learn their language.
