If you want to start working in Denmark before your university starts, or for any other reason, you can easily do it. People from European union can come to work in Denmark, as your work permit is automatically given to you. If you are from outside of EU, you need to apply for a work permit.
If you want your salary to be paid, you need to set up tax number at SKAT. www.skat.dk/skat.aspx?oid=3103 Tax card will also allow you to open a bank account.

[@franlopez5988]

Thank you for this help! Keep on doing this amazing work! I have a question. How do I get the personal tax number that you mention ?

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

Thanks for the support Fran! You can get it online on SKAT, there is a link in the description. It's an online application that you fill out and you only need your ID and some address in Denmark, where you're staying. :) More of that, on our blog studentsurvivalguide.dk/

[@manroop3854]

Hey!! Its my request to please inform nd make a video on undergrad courses available in english P.S I am into biology and wanna pursue in medical line

[@danielradosa]

Depends on city, I came in july and havent found part-time job until December

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

silky _boi sorry to hear about that. What city was that?

[@danielradosa]

@@StudentSurvivalGuide Esbjerg, however when you have connections its really easy

[@unclm8980]

I am moving to Esbjerg soon, do you have any advice?

[@danielradosa]

@@unclm8980 meet people.. in this case probably online in groups. you will find sometbing real fast if you get to know people

[@anjalikhusbu1092]

Hello, i just wanna know, what should learn before come there for job??

[@marvvv2499]

Thanks for the good content! How is it with business related working student jobs tho? Does anyone know whether you can work for let's say consulting firms or so if you're only able to speak English ?

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

Depends - in Copenhagen you likely can, in rest of Denmark only hardly

[@abirchowdhury3892]

How much money should I bring for the initial months? How many months do I have to run on that money? I will get a 3000 DKK scholarship per month from University, and the tuition fee is also paid by the scholarship. I am writing from Bangladesh (South Asia). I wonder how can I bring the money; does cash work for the initial months? I am very worried about these processes in the initial months. Extremely anxious. Being someone from outside of EU/EEA is a curse.

[@nammadesign7478]

As a non-Eu student, if I work in Denmark, am I not eligible for the 40,000 basic income deduction ? So until I make 3300kr a month I don't need to pay taxes right ?

[@DarkRadeonFX]

On average how much DK should a student bring when coming to study in denmark?

[@4knaturalrelaxationmusicvi310]

Can I apply for the tax number before arriving in Denmark?

[@anushkoirala5755]

hey can we work online as an international student ??

[@gslifelix]

I'll be applying for student housing. Any idea if it's possible to move into stundent housing earlier in the summer (say may or june for inst.) to start working prior to the university starting in September?

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

That depends on wether they have empty spots 😯

[@alfredocurran1825]

Hi, I think this video is misleading for various reasons: - You forgot to say that in order to apply for a Danish tax card, one of the documents you will need for applying is a signed employment contract. I have been here in Denmark for one month already and NO ONE will employ you without having your CPR number. - Basically, there is no legal way of working in Denmark before getting your CPR number, so if you want to start working before you start studying, come to denmark 2 months before your studies start. (this is the amount of time that will take you to get a CPR number)

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

Not true and only your experience Alfredo (sorry to hear though) Please do not generalise your experience for others, there is plenty of places that employ solely on the EU work permit. Best of luck finding work

[@juantonello6589]

really helpful.

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

juan tonello thank you sir!

[@ekowdadzie8779]

I have applied to VIA university College, and just received a mail that i have met all entry requirements. How hard is it going to be getting the final decision ?

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

No idea but if you meet the requierements you should likely get in :) let us know later!

[@andreazedda2189]

The ending got me dead🤣🤣🤣

[@arkajyotisarkar1407]

Great content. What are the legal working hours for a non-EU national?

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

Hey, I'm not sure but I think around 120 or 160 hours per month.

[@wai.therah]

It’s 20hrs max per week and full-time from June-August

[@blockstar770]

im 11 and i want a job is that weird and im not going in university any time soon im in 5 grade

[@rafaelpereira9859]

what was that agency called?

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

Team Vikaren or VikarDK

[@manroop3854]

Hiii !! How much does it cost for an apartment

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

Depends on the city but around 7,500kr. per month

[@chiaragrasso5494]

You can not get temporal work like a vikar without a CPR number.

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

Chiara Grasso hey, thanks for the comment. Luckily you can, if you have a work permit :) we’ve called to the citizenship service to ask about this.

[@ngoziazubuike1124]

What's CPR number ?

[@wai.therah]

Does that also apply to Non-Eu students who have work permits??🤔🤔

[@wai.therah]

@Ngozi A cpr number is a national identification number that the danish civil registration system uses to store your personal information😊😊

[@moazhassan4818]

Vikar agencies also ask for danish language

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

Most of the time you can only speak English

[@juthikajuthi2716]

Non-EU student! I have to eat noodles don't know for how long 💁🏻‍♀️ 🤦🏻‍♀️.

[@mmdigital123]

The struggle will be real! :D But hopefully you could get some job ASAP. What city are you gonna be living in?

[@juthikajuthi2716]

Thanks 🥺! I want to be optimistic. I am going to be starting my Master's study at AAU. I will be living in Aalborg.
