🌍 New adventure, new country, new challenges! Jeśli właśnie pakujesz walizkę i szykujesz się na wyjazd do Danii w poszukiwaniu pracy – to świetna decyzja! 🇩🇰
Dania to kraj, który ma sporo do zaoferowania – wysokie zarobki, dobre warunki życia i mnóstwo rowerów 🚲. Ale zanim na dobre rozkręcisz się w duńskiej rzeczywistości, trzeba załatwić kilka formalności.
Rest assured, it's not that bad! Below you will find step-by-step guide, which will help you make a stress-free start in a new place.
1. tax identification number and tax card
When you come to Denmark to work, it is necessary to obtain a tax identification number (Danish name: skattenummeret) and tax card (Danish name: skattekort).
Tax identification number (later renamed CPR) in Denmark is the equivalent of the Polish number PESEL or NIP. It is used for identification in the administrative and tax system. Without it, you can't legally work, use public services such as health care or, for example, open a Danish bank account.
A tax card is an electronic document that determines how much tax your employer should deduct from your salary based on m.i.n your budget/projected income, and expected tax credits for the calendar year.
You can apply for them at the earliest one month before you start work.
Make sure whether your employer will help report you to the tax office or whether you should take care of it yourself.

2. health insurance
In Denmark, access to public health care is provided by yellow health card (Danish name: Sundhedskort). This is a document in the form of a plastic card that confirms your right to receive free medical services under the Danish health care system.
The card contains the following information:
✔ Twoje name,
✔ Twój CPR number (identification number),
✔ Adres zamieszkania (can be Polish or if you are registered in Denmark then Danish address),
✔ Dane Twojego lekarza rodzinnego (only if registered at a Danish address).
The card should be taken with you to a doctor, pharmacy, hospital or other therapist in the Danish health care system.
If you have a valid Yellow Card then you have the opportunity to receive a blue card, the so-called EHIC, which means European Health Insurance Card, in some cases you are also entitled to health benefits in Poland for you and your family on the same terms as other citizens and the bills will be paid by Denmark (S1 insurance).
NOTES: Simply paying taxes in Denmark does not guarantee access to public health care. To use it, it is necessary to have a yellow health card, which confirms registration in the health insurance system and entitles you to free treatment.

3. stay registration
A residence permit/registration colloquially known as a “residence and work permit” is required if you work and plan to stay in Denmark longer than 3 months (Or six months if you will be looking for a job).
In case you are working in Denmark and intend to bring family, a “residence permit” is needed for them as well.
If you have fulfilled the conditions for residence in Denmark for five years continuously , you can - regardless of whether you are a citizen of an EU country or a non-EU/EEA country or Switzerland - apply for permanent residence under EU regulations.

4. nemKonto
NemKonto is a system in Denmark that allows government offices and institutions to automatically transfer money to your bank account that you have designated, such as a Danish or foreign one (Polish or Revolut).
This can be compared to the establishment of a single official account to which all institutions transfer the funds due to you.
If, for example, you are entitled to tax refund, feriepenge (vacation money), allowance, or other benefit such as family Danish authority doesn't ask for your account number every time - it simply transfers the money to your NemKonto, in other words, without NemKonto you will not receive any transfers from the state.
NemKonto is not a separate bank account, but the designation of your regular account (Danish or foreign), which is linked to your CPR number.

5. mitID
MitID is digital identification in Denmark, which works similarly to Trusted Profile and bank login system in Poland (e.g., logging into e-offices through the bank). Without MitID, you can't do many things online in Denmark, just as you can in Poland without a Trusted Profile.
How to get MitID?
