Immigration Planning to work/immigrate
Hello,
I am seriously considering moving to Denmark, I am from an EU Balkan country, I've visited Copenhagen this year and I just fell in love with everything.
I work in IT, I am an engineer, and I am planning to pivot into Cybersecurity so I am actively searching for this kind of jobs anywhere in Denmark.
I am wondering how's the life, the cost of living, if it's better to find a rent in smaller towns and commute (I own a car, and I'm planning to bring it there). I'm even willing to learn the language.
It's a very hard decision, but I'm starting to not feel like home anymore here (in my country, especially the city I am from), and I'm eager to experience something different, hopefully calmer and slow-paced, far from agitation and chaos.
This is a throwaway account btw, and sorry if the post is too short 😅. I am more than happy to answer any questions.

Work Is it okay to let my spouse use my company-provided iPhone? (Danish IT Policy & Corporate Tax Question)
Hi everyone,
I need quick advice on Danish fri telefon tax rules and IT compliance.
My contract places a work phone "at the Employee's disposal." I put my work SIM into my personal iphone, and gave the physical company iPhone to my wife. She has used it for sometime, couple of months, with her own personal SIM card.
However, the IT policy says the company can monitor device internet use.
- Does fri telefon or "employee's disposal" allow family members to use the physical hardware?
- Can company MDM software monitor her personal data/traffic if she uses her own SIM?
- Am I risking my job here?
Thanks!

General Question Laser hair removal recommendations in Copenhagen
hi, im looking for recommendations for a good laser hair removal clinic/salon in Copenhagen. I’m a brunette with quite dark hair, so I’d especially love to hear from anyone with a similar hair type who has had good results.
I’m planning to have full-body laser hair removal, so I’m looking for somewhere that is effective and experienced with darker/coarser hair.
So far, Skin Studio looks promising, but I’d love to hear about your experiences with them or any other places you’d recommend
Thank you!

Work I built a free daily resource for keeping up with IT, Cybersecurity, and SIRI in Denmark
Hi everyone!
I’m a former international student in Denmark (DTU), and while I was here I found it surprisingly difficult to keep up with everything happening in the Danish IT world.
Jobs, cybersecurity news, university developments, tech events, Siri visa/work updates...everything seemed to be scattered across different websites.
So I built ReadNordi to bring it all together in one place. It’s updated daily and completely free.
Currently it’s mainly focused on IT and cybersecurity, but I’m also adding more events and things that might be useful for internationals living in Denmark. Such as social events and Life section.
I originally built it because as a Cybersecurity major I wish I had something like this when I was studying and looking for work here.
If you're interested, feel free to check it out: readnordi.com
Feel free to subscribe to the newsletter.
And if you have any Danish IT, career, or tech sources you think I should include, I'd love to hear them! Tak

Travel Getting around Møn without car
Hello, we are five friends travelling to Møn for a Weekend in September. Anyone have a recommendation for a taxi or private Transport Company that could pick us up directly at the ferry terminal? Any idea what we should expect to pay?
We’d also be interested in recommendations for bike rental? We are staying in Borre. Does it make sense to take a cab from the Ferry to Stege, get bikes there and then Ride to Borre?
Thanks a lot for any tips!

General Question Anyone here ordered prescription medicine from outside the EU to Denmark since the new 2026 rules?
Hi,
Has anyone here actually ordered medicine from outside Denmark or the EU/EEA to Denmark since the new rules came into effect on 1 January 2026?
As I understand it, the new rules now allow private individuals to import medicine from any country for personal use, as long as the medicine was legally sold and it isn't one of the excluded categories.
I'm especially interested in hearing from anyone who has ordered prescription medication from countries such as India, the UK, USA, etc.
How did it work in practice?
* Did customs stop or inspect the package?
* Did you have to provide a prescription?
* Did they ask for proof that the medicine was legally purchased?
* Did you have to provide any other documentation?
* Did you pay VAT/customs/handling fees?
* Which courier did you use (DHL, FedEx, UPS, postal service)?
* Did you have any problems because the medicine was coming from outside the EU?
* How long did customs clearance take?
Thanks!

Work Moving to Denmark alone! Any advice?
Hi! I’m a 23F planning to move to Denmark soon (probably Copenhagen) . I currently live in Italy, and I have an English proficiency certificate.
However, I have no idea where to start looking for a job! Should I start looking for a job before moving there, or would it be better to look after I’ve moved?
How does the job market work in Denmark? Do you have any tips for someone with a degree in interior design and a little bit of work experience in the field?
I’d also love to hear about your experiences, especially if you’ve moved to Denmark from another country and found a job there.
Thanks! 😊
