Hi! I'm relocating to Denmark from Singapore. I'm currently packing my luggage and have a few questions:

1. Are we allowed to bring in Vitamins and Supplements in checkin luggage? I have about 6 bottles in total of varying vitamins to last me 6 months.

2. Are spice powders allowed to be brought in? What if they contain seafood flavours, for example instant noodles with flavoured seasonings.

3. Is ghee allowed? I assume not, since its a dairy derived product and I'm flying from Singapore which is non-EU.

Mostly concerned abt the supplments which are for personal use. Not sure if 6 bottles would be flagged up but they are there to last me 6 months before i fly back home again

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi! I'm relocating to denmark and this my first time in the country. I have 2 large luggages with me and will be travelling alone.

What is the best way to travel to Kalundborg? I checked online on google that there are trains (with a change) going there but I'm not sure if I can purchase the tickets at the airport itself?

How do i purchase the tickets? Is it possible on the day itself?

And are the trains difficult to board with luggage? I'm worried about hurting my back while loading them on and off the trains alone (I'm a woman and unfortunately not as strong as i'd like to be).

Appreciate any response!

There are two jobs at Genmab I am equally qualified for. They are in different departments.
Does anyone know if their talent aquisition team is rather small so same recruiters could potentially be working on applications to different departments?
I am just unsure if I should apply to both jobs, or just to one and hope it goes well.
There are no deadlines for either of them, so I'm worried that, if I "bet" on one of the roles and get rejected, the other one will go away.
Been out of a job for a while so I am quite desperate.

I’m Canadian considering a move to Scandinavia. Any Canadians in here who have made the move? What has it been like?

How to end the telnor subscription without losing the number??

I tried to switch numbers to lyca but in porting process otp in Telenor sim is not arriving although all other sms is arriving only that porting confirmation otp has not been arriving from telnor

After five days in Copenhagen I've got to make my way to Aarhus for work — but I have one night spare currently. Out of all the towns the train stops at (Odense, Frederica, Vejle, Horsens and Skanderborg), which is the nicest to stop in for a night? I will be with my wife, and after so long in a city it would be nice for something calmer, like a small charming small town, or something a bit rural. It's even better if there is a lovely hotel there. Thank you!

Hej guys,

I'm moving to Copenhagen and I've been looking into places to live, and talking to some people living in Copenhagen told me to stay away from Glostrup, Brønshøj, Brøndby and Husum. I have a 14k DKK budget before utilities and looking for at least a 2 room flat(Preferably 60m2). Any recommendations of places, or if this places are not worth it for the savings?

Thanks for your help.

Tak!

I'm M27 and from Hamburg, Germany. I heard of these outdoors sheltesr that Denmark has and that people travel between them. I have no real experience other than camping in large groups as a child in designated areas. I still feel very intrigued by this idea and I feel like I need this kind of experience.

I would most likely do that alone which already sounds like a bad idea but I kinda need this and everyone needs to start somewhere right? And Denmark isn't Yellowstone so maybe it ain't that crazy?\

I was thinking to do that in July/August and to start in Flensburg and travel along the coast but I could really use some advise about the route, what to know and maybe what gear I'd need

If you could atleast redirect me to other subs or sources I would be very happy, thanks in advance!

Hey ho, this is in regards to my friend, who is living with me at the moment. I am a danish citizen, but she is not, and for all intents and purposes, she is just visiting here. However, she does not have a flight home, nor is she able to leave in the next forseeable future.

She is in a lot of pain though, but its not life threatening. It does however make it harder to return to her own country, where she could get treatment no problemo, so it's a bit of a dilemma.

Does this count as an emergency? Because again, she's probably not actively dying maybe, but she's in pain, and it is concerning that its still going.

Should we call Lægevagten, or is there a way to get her to a "normal" doctor without her having cpr-number or an actual address?

Everything I've seen online, either mentions cpr-numbers or emergencies, so is there no other choice?

Hi everyone 😊

I hope your PD2 and PD3 exams went really well today. My prayers are with all of you 🤍

I’m completely new here and I recently got admission into PD3 at Sprogcenter. Honestly, I don’t know much yet, so I wanted to ask for some guidance from people who already started their PD3 journey.

When did your first module test happen after starting PD3?
Do you think it’s possible to give the first module test before summer vacation if someone has just started now?

I would really appreciate if you could share:

• How long it took before your first module test
• What kind of questions they asked
• How you prepared for it
• Was it difficult in the beginning?
• And honestly, is 1.5 years enough to complete PD3 successfully?

I would be very thankful for any advice, experience, or tips from you guys 🙏

Hello everyone!

As the title says I would like to know where I can study the language online. I'll give some context: in some Years i would like to move in in Denmark, to start a Life with my partner. So i would like to start learn Danish from now, making sure that when the day i Will move away from Italy Will come, I Will already know a bit of Danish.

Thank you!

Hi all, so I'm not really new to Denmark…relocated here a few years back during covid with my family. I have a bachelor and a master's degree from great universities in the UK, plus about 8 years of academic work experience, one of which was in Denmark. However since I left my last job at the end of 2022, I have tried but failed to secure a new job. I have applied, gone to interviews, joined a union, sought professional career advice…People kept telling me that my CV looks fine and I should find a job but I just never did. Now as my unemployment gap grows longer and longer, I can't help but feel increasingly sad and desperate. I trained long and hard to work in research and truly love what I do, I would love to be working. I have been learning Danish over the last year or so, but it will take a long time until I can be very proficient in it… Should I just give up on my career and find a service industry job? The idea pains me but this unemployment is killing me mentally. Should I do another Master's here? Should I try for a PhD? Or are there some other job hunting methods that are less obvious? If you have any advice I will welcome it. Thank you all in advance!🙏

Hello everyone! I will be moving to Denmark soon and I have a potential job contract coming, and the company is based in the EU. I will be their full time employee.

I am not sure if there's a possibility to register myself as self employed (freelancer) or what you called Enkeltmandsvirksomhed in Denmark? Since I will be working as a full time employee.

I have heard that it'd be easier to go through EOR, but I'd like to know if Enkeltmandsvirksomhed is possible, just trying to figure out some options. Is anyone in the same position as me? How is it going and how did you work it out?

Thank you and appreciate your advices and experience sharing!

Hej alle. I have confusion regarding my hours calculation. My company calculates hours from 15 to 14th day of the month. I am a student, and I can work full-time for three months in June, July, and August. So, can I work full-time from May 15 to June 15 since this salary will come at the end of June?

Hello! As I am unable to post in the Copenhagen and Denmark reddit, I came here to see if anyone could give me some advice on where I can get flowers (bouquet) and have them delivered. It's our anniversary (both of us are 20), and I want to surprise her. Any recommendations for local or online services/shops I can pursue? Additionally, since I am American, any other tips for what to give for an anniversary? a specific type of flower or bouquet? Any local advice would be incredibly appreciated. I want to make her day special!

Where can I get electrolytes without any sugar or carbs? Have seen them in supermarkets but they contain carbs. Thanks.
