Save on International Money Transfers
Moving abroad means transferring money. Our partner Currencies Direct offers better exchange rates than most banks — saving you money on your move.
From your US home to the streets of Copenhagen or Aarhus, GRC handles every detail of your move to Denmark.
Get a CPR number (civil registration number) as your first priority — it's your key to healthcare, banking, and almost everything else in Denmark. Register at your local International Citizen Service.
Denmark consistently ranks as one of the happiest countries in the world. With its concept of hygge, excellent work-life balance, and a society built on trust, it's easy to see why.
Universal healthcare is free for all registered residents, funded through taxes. Quality is excellent. Register with your local GP through sundhed.dk once you have your CPR number.
Copenhagen is expensive — housing is the biggest cost. Taxes are high (around 37–52%) but cover healthcare, education, and generous social benefits. Eating out is pricey; cooking at home saves significantly.
Copenhagen is one of the world's best cycling cities — 50% of residents cycle to work. Metro and S-train are efficient. Between cities, DSB trains are reliable. A Rejsekort card simplifies payments.
Danes are informal, direct, and deeply committed to work-life balance. Hygge (cozy togetherness) is a way of life. Expect a flat hierarchy at work and a strong focus on consensus.
Free, high-quality public schools and universities. International schools available in Copenhagen and Aarhus. Danish daycare (vuggestue/børnehave) is heavily subsidized.
Register for your CPR number at the International Citizen Service. Open a bank account (Danske Bank or Nordea). Get MobilePay — Denmark is nearly cashless. Join local activities to build friendships.
Denmark has a mild maritime climate — it's not as cold as you'd expect, but winter days are very short. Wind is constant, especially near the coast.
Denmark's cities are compact and bikeable. Here are the neighborhoods where expats love to settle.
Green, leafy enclave within Copenhagen. Beautiful parks, excellent cafés, and some of the city's best schools. Ideal for families.
Diverse, vibrant, and multicultural. Street food, vintage shops, and a strong community feel. Popular with young professionals.
Classic, upscale area near the harbor and parks. Popular with families. Clean, quiet streets and a strong local community.
Charming neighborhood near the university. Aarhus is Denmark's second city — younger, more relaxed, and more affordable than Copenhagen.
Hans Christian Andersen's birthplace. A small, walkable city with a growing tech scene and very affordable cost of living.
Charming coastal town with Hamlet's castle. Just 45 minutes from Copenhagen by train. Great for families wanting a quieter life.
Whether you're moving for work, family or a fresh start, GRC manages the logistics so you can focus on your new life in Denmark.
Full-service packing, crating, and shipping of your personal belongings and furniture by ocean or air freight — door to door from the U.S. to Denmark.
Household goods can be imported duty-free when transferring your residence to Denmark. You'll need a detailed inventory list, your residence permit, and proof of your previous address.
Your shipment is delivered to your new Danish address, with unpacking and furniture assembly services available on request.
GRC's concierge services help with the transition — from navigating local processes to settling into your new community. Concierge available in NY, NJ & CT with other locations case by case.
