Remember to check your personal insurance policies before leaving your home country. It is very important that you have a Health Insurance as well as a Liability Insurance:

A. Health insurance

Is strongly recommended for all types of stays, but especially for stays longer than 3 months. 

a. Nordic citizens

Citizens from Nordic countries are entitled to the same medical treatment as Danish nationals.

b. EU citizens

If you are an EU national, you must register at your local National Registry Office, immediately after your arrival in Denmark.

If you bring a completed E-104 (E-111) form with you from your native country, you are automatically covered by the Danish National Health Service, with access to free medical treatment by general practitioners (GPs) and in hospitals (the costs of potential transport home are not covered).

If you do not have such a form, you are not covered during the first six to eight weeks of your stay in Denmark.

If you want to make sure that you are properly insured for the first six to eight weeks of your stay in Denmark, we recommend that you get a complete health insurance from your home country.

c. All other nationalities

Citizens from all other countries are not covered and are strongly advised to take out an insurance that covers medical treatment and repatriation.

We strongly recommend that you read thoroughly all information given on the website of New to Denmark. 

Also, please make sure you have the following:

• a "processing fee" of DKK 1600 has been introduced in 2011. Your application for a residence permit will not be processed until your fee has been successfully transfered to the bank account of the Danish Immigration Service.
• a "Final Letter of Acceptance" from Business Academy Copenhagen North.
• The original "Application Form for the Residence and Work Permit" which Copenhagen North will have sent to you, together with your final letter of acceptance.
• your valid passport.
• two photos of yourself

When you register at a Citizen Service Office you will be asked to choose a general practitioner (GP). It may be a good idea to ask a Danish friend or colleague to recommend one.

Your Central Persons Register number (Cpr number) is also your health insurance number. A yellow National Health Service medical card will be sent to your address in Denmark within three weeks. The name, address and telephone number of your GP will be printed on the card. Please remember to bring the card if you have to visit your GP.

After your studies at Business Academy Copenhagen North are finished, before you leave Denmark, you must return this medical card to your local national Registry Office.

B. Liability insurance

As a supplement to your health insurance, you need a liability insurance to cover personal injury, legal aid and damage to property.
