Denmark How To Denmark's news and how-to guides, in English

Updated 16 October 2026

The ebook

Every guide on this site is free, and stays free. No account, nothing held back. The ebook is the same material edited into one file, for reading offline or keeping to hand — plus the checklists and planner that are not published as pages here.

What’s in the ebook

  • Every guide on this site, edited and cross-referenced, in one PDF and EPUB.
  • The first-90-days planner — week 1, week 2, month 1 and month 3 laid out as checklists you can tick off, in the order that unblocks the next step. The site publishes the order and the timelines for free on the arrival order page; the planner is the week-by-week version, with what to bring to each appointment and what to do when a step stalls.
  • Checklists you can tick off: documents to bring to Borgerservice, what to take to the bank, what to bring to a viewing, what to pack for your first Danish winter.
  • Plain-language glossaries of the Danish words that appear on official letters: folkeregister, forskudsopgørelse, indboforsikring, a-kasse, pladsanvisning, selvrisiko, boligstøtte.
  • Templates: a CV laid out the Danish way, an email asking a landlord for a viewing, and a message to your child’s daycare.

Price and format

149 DKK — one-off, no subscription. PDF + EPUB, DRM-free, plus free updates for one year whenever rules change.

The checkout link is being set up right now. Everything on this site is free in the meantime — and if you want the ebook the moment it goes on sale, say so on the report form and we will write to you once.

Why buy rather than just read the site

Because the guides are the expensive part to keep correct. Danish rules move — residence permits, tax schemes, childcare prices, insurance terms — and every guide here carries a “last updated” date because someone re-reads the authority’s page and fixes it. Buying the ebook funds that.

If money is tight, that is fine: read everything for free and tell one friend.
