The Civil Registration System

The Civil Registration System is a central register containing information onpersons living in Denmark, those who are otherwise taxpayers or those who arefor other reasons obliged to registration.

In the Civil Registration System information concerning names, addresses, maritalstatus, birth registration place and other basic information is registered.Information in CPR is conveyed expediently to public authorities and privateindividuals with a justified interest in the same.

Persons registered in the system are allocated a civil registry number. The civilregistry number is a personal identification number. The identity number isunique to the person and thus functions as identification of each individual.Almost the entire public administration uses the identification number, forinstance to avoid duplicate registration and errors in respect of a person's identity.The private sector will often asked for a civil registry number for instance whenyou want to open a bank account.

To obtain a civil registry number on the basis of residence you must meet all the followingconditions...

1. Your stay in Denmark must last more than three months.

Persons immigrating from other Nordic countries, whatever their nationality,nationals of an EU/EEA country or Switzerland (and their family members fromthird-countries) may be in the country for up to six months before having to notifyimmigration authorities of their arrival

2. You have acquired a residence or a fixed place of abode in Denmark

3. You are legally entitled to stay in the country (in terms of documentation, thismeans a residence permit)

Notification of arrival must be made to the local municipality within five days afterthe conditions mentioned in sections 2 and 3 are fulfilled.

The requisite documentation shall be presented for the information beingregistered in the CPR as well as documentation for the entitlement to stay in the




http://www.um.dk/en/menu/ConsularServices/ShortStayVisas/

http://www.nyidanmark.dk/en-us/coming_to_dk/visa/how-to/



country. The local municipality can require any person covered by a report aboutimmigration to report in person prior to registration.

If you study in Denmark but do not live here, and therefore are not nationallyregistered in Denmark on the grounds of relocation from abroad, you are allocateda civil registry number if according to the tax authorities[pm1] ; you need one forthe purpose of having tax affairs handled in Denmark.

If you move or relocate after you have been registered in the system you areobliged to report this to your (new) municipality. Similarly, if you leave Denmark,you are required to report the move to the municipality, where you live, beforedeparture.

Healthcare

As a resident in Denmark, you will benefit from our renowned healthcare system.It is run on principles of equality and universal accessibility. Most examinationsand treatments except for example dental care and physiotherapy are free ofcharge. And you will receive a high level of care. Doctors’ surgeries, hospitals andmedical centres use the latest techniques and medicines.

Please note that Danish health insurance does not cover transportation to yourhome country in case of illness.

Staying in Denmark without registering with the Civil Registration System

According to the Danish Health Act you are entitled to necessary hospital care freeof charge in case of accident, sudden illness or birth or sudden aggravation of achronic disease. All other health care must be paid for by you or your insurance.

If you are going to stay in Denmark more than 3 months you should register assoon as possible.

Students from EU/EEA or Switzerland

If you are from the EU/EEA or Switzerland and are going to stay in Denmark forless than 3 months and you are insured in the statutory health insurance inanother EU-state you can use your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) andhave any health care benefit that becomes medically necessary during the stay inDenmark. The benefits will be given on the same conditions as to Danish insuredpersons and to the expense of your statutory health insurance that issued the EHIC.

Students from Nordic countries do not need to show the EHIC and students fromUK need only show their UK-passport.

Residing in Denmark when registering with the Civil Registration System

When registering in the Civil Registration System you must chose if you want to beinsured in Group 1 or 2. Persons in Group 1 must choose a GP (generalpractitioner) who must refer to specialists when necessary. Care by GPs andspecialists are free of charge. Persons in Group 2 are not connected to a certain GPand may choose any GP or specialist as desired. However only at part of the costs



http://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=559

for treatment of persons in Group 2 is reimbursed. Roughly 98 % of Danishresident are insured in Group 1.

You will receive a national health insurance card (‘sundhedskort’). It must bepresented at all visits to doctors and hospitals. It is your proof that you are entitledto all public health care services. The card states your name, address and personalidentification number, as well as the name and address of your doctor. It alsoprovides healthcare coverage for up to one month on holiday trips in the EU/EEAand Switzerland .

Safety

Our culture is based on tolerance and mutual respect. We value peace and stability.Compared to many other economically-advanced countries, our crime rates arelow. But this doesn’t mean that you should leave your common sense at home. Likeanywhere, you should be careful with your valuables and vigilant when walkingabout deserted areas late at night. The Danish police are approachable and helpful.Don’t hesitate to contact them for assistance if you need to.

Emergency contacts

The main emergency is number 112 – if you need an ambulance, the police or fireservice. When you dial the emergency call centre, you will be asked for your name,

address and the phone number from which you are calling. The call centre willthen make sure that appropriate help is sent immediately.

In an emergency alwaIn an emergency always call emergency number 112ys call emergency number 112

Insurance

We strongly recommend that you take out adequate insurance while studyinghere. Educational institutions in Denmark cannot be held responsible in cases oftheft or any other loss of property. The following insurance is recommended:

- Third-party liability insurance (‘ansvarsforsikring’) – covering expenses ifyou have to pay compensation to another person.

- Accident insurance (‘ulykkesforsikring’) – covering the financialconsequences of an accident

- Home insurance (‘indboforsikring’) – for your personal belongings.

- Car insurance (‘bilforsikring’) – If you bring a car with you, please make sureit is properly insured. If you decide to take out the insurance in Denmark, trycontacting some of the larger insurance companies. They have websites in English.Your host institution should be able to refer you to specific ones.

Culture shock

Coming to a new country can shake you up. You can feel disoriented as you leave afamiliar place and arrive somewhere quite different. The reaction may be bothphysical and psychological. This is called culture shock and it’s very common. Ittakes time to adapt to a new culture.

While Denmark is well-organised and people here will be eager to make you feelcomfortable, you will need some time to settle in. Like many of your fellowstudents, at some point you may ask yourself why you left home. When thishappens, it is important for you to remember that you are going through alearning process. If you accept this brief period as one of transition, you willultimately return home with greater self-confidence and the ability to succeed in amulticultural environment.

So keep active, explore your social opportunities and try to learn Danish. If youkeep an open mind, you will soon be drawn into the many activities on offer.Remember: you are not alone in experiencing these feelings. Talking about them isthe best way of getting rid of them.

Here are some tips on easing yourself into a new culture:

- Accept that you cannot know everything about your new country andlanguage

- Keep an open mind

- Try to do things that you did at home

- Stay in touch with family and friends at home

- Talk to other students about how you feel



- Stay active

8. Housing in DenmarkHousing and accommodation for international students in Denmark

Introduction

Denmark does not have a tradition for on-campus housing. Most students livetogether in residences situated some distance from campus. But as most studentshave a bike, this is not considered a problem. The public transport system alsofunctions well. You can usually travel easily between your residence, campus andthe city centre

Finding a place to live

Finding a place to live often takes time, so we strongly advise you to contactyour Danish host institution for information about housing as soon as you havebeen accepted into a study-programme. Please be aware that it can be especiallydifficult to find housing in the bigger cities during August and September. Weadvise against travelling to Denmark at this time without reserving a room first.

Some international students prefer to let or sub-let a room from a Danish studentor landlord. Others rent a flat or a house, which they share with friends. Whetheryou choose to live in a residence, flat or house, you’ll have to cater for yourself. Sodon’t forget your recipe book! Cleaning (both your private room and the commonfacilities) and doing your laundry are also your own responsibility.

Types of accommodation

Student halls of residence (‘kollegier’)

Student halls of residence offer accommodation in a communal environment. Thiskind of living may be particularly suitable for international students who have justarrived and don’t know anyone yet. Besides, the rent for a room is typicallycheaper than that of a private room.

Private housing (‘privat værelse’)

This kind of accommodation is usually a (furnished) room rented from a privatelandlord or landlady. You may find it by yourself, for example by looking on thisfree website listing accommodation offers: www.casaswap.com. Alternatively, yourhost institution might also be able to refer you to specific landlords. Please note:the standard of facilities in private rooms may vary. We advise you to read yourcontract carefully.

Finally, although sharing a room with another student might seem like a good idea– as accommodation in Denmark can be expensive – it is not usually possible.



Housing culture

Many Danish students live in student residences or shared apartments. They offera vibrant social life and are a great place to meet new people and make friends.And they are not only for students in their first year. Students right through their20s and into their early 30s live in them.

There is a common culture to this type of living. First and foremost, it is importantto realise that everyone plays a part in creating a pleasant and functional livingenvironment. Student residences are seldom linked to an educational institution.There are no built-in services, like catering and cleaning. Every student isresponsible for cleaning his/her own room and has to help maintain the commonareas, like kitchens and bathrooms. For Danish students this is quite normal. Danesoften move away from home at a young age. They are accustomed to managingdaily domestic tasks from early on.

Usually, there are specific rules and regulations for each residence, like a cleaningschedule. However, most of the house rules are unspoken. They refer to a specificcode of interaction, mainly based on common sense. However, certain aspects of itmight not be obvious to international students. For example, in terms ofentertaining guests, Danish students usually have certain expectations in terms ofhow many people you invite over, how frequently you invite them and how longthey stay. The best way to avoid any misunderstanding is to ask questions.

How to find accommodation

The first step is to visit the website of your host institution to find out what kind ofhousing service or advice is on offer. We strongly advise you to follow anyrecommendations that you find there. The availability of accommodation variesgreatly around the country and local advice is always best. In general, it is muchharder to find suitable housing in big cities like Copenhagen and Aarhus.Moreover, you should start to look for accommodation months before you arrive,as it can be very difficult to find accommodation right before the semester begins.

Housing links

The following are websites, where individuals or agencies offer a room or anapartment for rent. It’s like online marketplaces, where you can post a messageabout what kind of housing you are looking for. Most of the websites are in Danish,but it is possible to place your own ad in English.

Taxes

Denmark has a well-developed welfare state. This means that many things thatpeople in other countries pay for are free, like healthcare. But such an extensivepublic sector requires a lot of taxes to fund it. As a result, the tax rate in Denmarkis one of the highest in the world.

However, the system is progressive. Not everybody pays the same amount of tax.The higher your income, the more you pay.

How do I pay tax in Denmark?

All residents and everyone earning salary in Denmark are liable for Danishtaxation. As a rule you must pay tax on all your earnings in Denmark – and onthose you would potentially earn abroad. The amount of tax will depend on yourannual income and status of tax liability.

What is a tax card?

If you have an income in Denmark, you must apply for a tax card from your localtax centre. A tax card is an official document which indicates how much tax youhave to pay.

How do I get a tax card?

Once you have received your civil registration number (CPR-number), you mustcontact SKAT (Danish Tax and Customs Administration) and inform them howmuch you expect to earn for the year in question.

Note:Note: contact SKAT on tel.: +45 72 22 18 18 or find the address of your nearest taxcentre at www.skat.dk

In order to obtain your tax card you must complete a special form called “04.063”.

You can download the form here:

11. LifestyleThe Danish lifestyle, student life and why we love to bike

Introduction

Denmark offers a culturally vibrant, eco-friendly and high-tech lifestyle. Fromhuge music festivals, Viking Moots, Scandinavia’s largest carnival and aspectacular Christmas, the Danish calendar is populated with amazing events. On adaily basis, you can enjoy a wide range of creative, social and sporting activities

Money

Life in Denmark is not cheap, but our standard of living is among the best in theworld. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. And if you are sensible andfollow local customs – like cycling and eating seasonal food – it should not blowyour budget.

All international students are advised to open a Danish bank account. To do so, youmust first obtain a CPR number. When choosing a bank here, we suggest that youask your fellow students for a recommendation. Opening an account is simple. Justtake your passport or ID card and CPR number card to a branch.

You will need to bring enough money or a credit card for the first few weeks,before you open your account. For example, you will require enough cash to payrent and deposits – as well as to buy items for your new room. Make sure you canuse your credit card in Denmark. Check your cash withdrawal limit. If you bankwith a large international bank, you should soon be able to transfer money directlyfrom your account at home to your Danish bank account.

In Denmark, you will need to have a ‘Nemkonto’ or ‘easy account’. This is a publicpayment system that enables the authorities to make payments to you – like wages,tax rebates or maintenance payments. Talk to your Danish bank about thepossibility of converting your current account to a Nemkonto. Also, if you are paidwages by a Danish employer, it is possible to have them transferred from a Danishbank to a bank account abroad. It may take a couple of days and some bankscharge a fee.

Leisure time

For Danes, work and play are interlinked. We prize a healthy work-life balance. Webelieve that time out socially or to explore other interests – be they creative,cultural or sporting – is essential to personal fulfilment.

Denmark offers an exciting range of leisure activities: theatre, opera, museums,concerts and festivals. There are cutting-edge night clubs and bars in the cities andquaint, traditional inns in our unspoilt countryside. Restaurants vary from fine-dining to cheap and cheerful. At the cinema, films are usually shown in theiroriginal language, with Danish subtitles.

Participating in different sporting activities is a great way to get to know people inDenmark. There are numerous options. Some educational institutions have theirown sports facilities – as do certain halls of residence. You can also join anindependent sports club. However, membership to these is often more expensive.

If you work in Denmark, you will discover that there are often social events withcolleagues outside of the workplace and normal working hours. For example, it isstandard to celebrate employees’ birthdays with a group breakfast. There are alsotypically a few parties during the year that all colleagues attend.

As a new resident in Denmark, it is a good idea to participate in the social lifewhere you work or study. It is how you can get close to Danes, establish ties andmeet new friends. It is also important that you are attentive to your fellow studentsor co-workers and perceive them as friends – not just as people that you study orwork with. Danish society is friendly and informal. It is socially acceptable to askabout people’s lives and families.
