FAQs about removals from the UK to Denmark

How much do international removals from UK to Denmark cost?

As leaders in the removal industry, we own and operate a worldwide network of depots. As a result, we can offer an affordable door-to-door removals service. But the cost depends on how much you're moving and how far in Denmark it's going. Use our free instant quote tool for a cost breakdown specific to your moving needs.

Do I have to pay tax when moving personal items to Denmark?

European Union (EU) members may move used belongings to Denmark duty and tax-free as long as they are for your use. Non-EU members can do the same, but there are specific regulations to follow. Factors include how long you've owned them, how long you've lived outside the EU and your work or study status. Visit the official Danish Customs website for a comprehensive breakdown.

After booking our international movers, log into your online account and fill in the following documents:

An inventory listing each removals container and item you're moving to Denmark.
Colour scans of the shipment owner's valid passport picture, signature pages, and scanned visa for non-EU citizens.
The shipment owner's destination address, email address, and phone number.
Optional insurance forms to cover your removals shipment in the rare chance they become lost or damaged.

Danish customs officials will see these forms, so accuracy is a must. Multilingual customer service is available around the clock to offer removals advice and answer questions.

Top packing tips for Denmark removals

We suggest hiring a professional packing service to ensure your removals shipment arrives in Denmark in the best condition. Doing so saves time and eases stress. Otherwise, give yourself plenty of time and follow our 4 expert tips below. For even more in-depth advice, check out How to choose a box for shipping and How to pack our boxes.

one

Declutter your house:

Write down every item you own and decide what you want to move to Denmark. After all, the fewer possessions you take, the cheaper it will be!

Save money by selling what you no longer need on online auction sites like eBay and Facebook Marketplace. Take the rest to your local charity shop or recycling centre.

two

Pack valuable possessions with care:

Create a strong base by sealing your removals box shut with three overlapping layers of parcel tape. Repeat the process at the lid when full. Use bubble wrap on all items and two layers for fragile goods. Place heaviest items at the bottom and lighter effects on top.

Fill gaps with soft materials like towels and packing paper. Once complete, give your box a little shake. If you hear anything, add more soft materials.

three

Secure a place to park for our moving vehicle:

Buy parking tickets or permits for our moving vehicle to ensure a successful collection day. Doing so allows our driver to park within twenty metres of your building's entrance.

A trolly is available to help move your removals containers to our vehicle. Our driver can offer helpful tips but must keep the van within eyesight at all times.

four

Prepare for collection day:

Move all removals containers as close to your building's entrance as possible the evening before collection day. For your and our driver's safety, no containers may weigh over 30kg/66lbs.

Weigh each box, bag or suitcase on bathroom scales. If one is over the limit, move some items to a lighter removals container.

Great service. I used Seven Seas Worldwide to move a few removal boxes from the USA to Denmark and had a very good experience. They were helpful and friendly at every step of the process. I called them many times (to ask for details, to change the delivery address, etc.), and every time I got the information and help I needed. The boxes arrived in very good shape and before the expected date.

Moving to Denmark: an essential guide for expats

How does living in a country known for its strong social welfare system, bike-friendly culture, and picturesque views sound? In Danish culture, people value inclusivity, a healthy work/life balance and making the most of the great outdoors. The Danes are proud of their high quality of living for all, welcoming society, and safe streets. But before you book the first available flight to Denmark, have a look over our essential facts to help with the big move:

Types of visas: EU and Nordic area citizens (Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Iceland) and those from the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland do not need a visa to move to Denmark. For all other countries, you must apply for a visa relevant to your stay, such as work, study, etc.

Job opportunities: most Danes speak English, but you'll have a strong advantage if you learn Danish. In-demand roles for expats include chemists, biologists, doctors, teachers and social workers.

Healthcare: free healthcare is available for all and funded via tax. It includes access to high-quality hospitals, doctors and preventive care. Expats can apply after three continuous months of stay in Denmark.

Education: Denmark has a well-respected education system that focuses on equality, creativity, and critical thinking. Free education up to high school level is available for all. World-ranked institutions in Denmark include the University of Copenhagen, Aarhus University, and Aalborg University.

Lifestyle: like other Scandinavian countries, Danes like to spend time outdoors, especially in the summer. Nature walks, and activities such as cycling and kayaking are popular. The concept of "hygge" is widely embraced — a feeling of cosiness, safety, and togetherness.

Removals checklist for international moves to Denmark

Even though our moving services make removals easy, this handy checklist helps you prepare for the move itself:

Gather your paperwork: keep all your important documents, such as birth certificates and proof of addresses, together for quick access.
Apply for a Danish visa: research the most applicable Danish visa for you and your family's needs, then apply and await approval.
Arrange accommodation in Denmark: decide whether to sell or rent your current house, then buy or rent once in Denmark. Renting gives you time to adjust to your new surroundings before making a big purchase like a house.
Book a moving company: grab a quick free removals quote on our website, then select a suitable date so we can collect your home contents.
Arrange travel to Denmark: book flights to Denmark as early as possible so you can settle into your new house stress-free ahead of your removals shipment.
Sort your finances: let your banks know you're leaving, and withdraw some Danish krone to cover any last-minute purchases or emergencies.
Speak to a doctor: request a three-month supply of any current medication to last until you find a Danish healthcare provider.
Pet relocation: if taking your furry friends with you to Denmark, arrange their vaccinations and buy a pet carrier for safe transportation. Pets entering Denmark are usually required to have a pet passport and be identifiable by microchip.
Have a declutter: carefully select which home possessions you'll move to Denmark. Sell, donate or recycle anything you're leaving behind.
Pack your removals shipment: carefully wrap and pack your removals shipment and place them in strong moving containers. For a successful loading day experience, move all your boxes, bags and suitcases as close to your building's exit the day before.
Settle into your new house: once your goods have cleared customs, log into your online account and arrange for delivery to your new house. All that's left to do now is unload, unpack, and settle into your exciting new life in Denmark.
