There are all kinds of rules stopping you getting in, even as an EU citizen, and you basically need to be either marrying a Dane, have a firm job offer or something like 100,000 krone in the bank to show you can support yourself. I don't know how they manage to get away with all this in spite of supposed free EU movement rules when I know Danes who have gone to Britain just to sign on the dole for a few months and get a free holiday. If you are a non-EU citizen then a quick browse of the internet reveals a lot of Danes with foreign partners telling stories about how their partners were not allowed to live in Denmark even when married, and some Danes even laugh at their own laws like the one about Danes not being able to marry a foreigner and bring them into the country with them until they are 28 years old.
If you pass these rules, you have to report to your regional (Amt) office and get your passport stamped, then you get a residency card, followed by a trip to your local goverment (kommune) office for health insurance card and then a tax card, but other sites like WorkinDenmark can explain the details better than I can.
The offical
WorkInDenmark site does contain a
lot of useful information on many aspects of living and
working in Denmark, but only at a very high
level.
Once you've
been here for six months I suggest you re-read their
idealised, uncritical case studies again for a laugh. To
