Banking nightmare in Denmark

Hi Ron

My best bid is that the real problem is that you only have a temporary address. Are you living in a hostel, hotel or similar housing? A rented room will do for the purpose if the landlord will allow you do register at his address. (Some times landlords won't do it because they don't want to let the tax authority know about their income even though there is a lower limit which is quite favorable). As soon as you have a 'real address', you'll be entitled to register and get your CPR number.

Everybody should be entitled to a basic bank account (not a credit account). If the local filial won't open a bank account for you, I would make a complaint to the central service department of the bank.

Thank you, that is a straightforward answer a least but a very costly procedure , they offered me a room with a bed for more than 6200 Krones and that was more than basic and the cheapest I found but also no registration.
A lot of passive-aggressive behaviour towards migrants and expats here in Demark from MANY sides, no straight talks, never expected that. I mean they are in the EU right but behave like Monaco. At least they pay a bit into recently  , a bit I say and why stick to EU regulations then, right.  Maybe they should make a Dexit and be the friendly nation again they once were.

Under all circumstances, you'll need to find a permanent address (for a short or long time) to register. It shouldn't be more costly that living in a temporary housing, on the contrary. 6,200 kroner is quite a lot, even for downtown Copenhagen which is the most expensive place of all places.

Where have you looked?

Most rooms are rented on normal market terms, e.g. you can register at the address without any problems. If a landlord won't let you register, I would never move in as I wouldn't regard him trustworthy in any respect.

If you find a room, look up the owner on krak.dk or https://boligejer.dk
It's a market where you have to be careful not to be cheated, especially when the ad is written in English and not Danish. You are always welcome to ask the forum for specific advice.

You are looking for a job. I don't know your profession, but it might be easier to find a job in another part of the country.

Thanks a lot Nellie, these are informations I never received from official sources here or even from volunteer organizations. I can see that the jobmarket in Copenhagne  is kind og´f dry because there are young guys here without a lot of hope.  They never talk straight here, the Danes,sorry to say that. They circle people around for weeks sometimes. I got the offer from Copenhagen commune, was sent there by integration centre. Before they had thses shelter fölats and rooms,now they rent them for a hell of a money in Pensions

In general, speaking Danish is (nearly) a must with a few exceptions. That means you'll have a handicap compared to a native Dane when it comes to land a job. Neither is your age a plus, especially if you search for work outside your profession.

I don't know why you have come to Denmark, and why you chose Copenhagen? Have you thought of other places in Denmark?

Danes aren't so movable as many other people why there might be jobs in the province which cannot be filled as people crowd in Copenhagen. It is laso easier to find a housing at a reasonable price.

I see that you are self-employed. Maybe, the southern part of Jutland was a better idea to settle down as many people here speak German and apartments much cheaper.
