Moving to DK from US

10 years ago
Hello! I am an HR professional and I am planning to move to Denmark. I understand it is not as simple as picking up and transplanting myself. I have begun researching the appropriate processes, guidelines, and regulations. My timeline is about 2 years. From what I have read thus far, having a job offer is the best route. But I am wondering how easy the process is, what to expect, do most Danish companies sponsor foreigners, do I really have to prove a certain amount of living expenses in my bank account.....??? So many questions!

I DO have Danish family in Nordjylland (Lokken, Bronderslev, and this general region). I also have family in Jyllinge near Roskilde. What help could my family be in this process? I do not wish to rely on my family for financial means. But if they can vouch for me, what is the process for this?

Also, I am hoping to find work in Aalborg or within an hour of Bronderslev. I would feel more comfortable transplanting myself with or near family until I have a better grasp of the language and culture. At that point, I would consider moving to Copenhagen or elsewhere.

Any insight is greatly appreciated! Mange tak!!
