Seeking work in Denmark while on unemployment benefit from your home country

If you are receiving unemployment benefit in another Nordic country, or in an EU or EEA country, you can in some cases continue to receive the unemployment benefit for three months while you look for work in Denmark. You can read more under “Can you receive unemployment benefit from another Nordic country while job-seeking in Denmark?” on the Info Norden page about the rules for unemployment benefit in Denmark.

You can obtain more information from the authority that pays unemployment benefits in the country in which you have your unemployment insurance.

Nordjobb is a service for young people aged between 18 and 30 who wish to work for a few months in a Nordic country. Nordjobb facilitates contact between young people and employers in the Nordic region, and also helps to find accommodation and arrange cultural activities in connection with the stay.

The Nordic exchange scheme gives state employees an opportunity to learn about the administration in one or more Nordic countries besides their home country. The exchange scholarships are distributed, paid out and implemented on a national basis. Applicants should therefore contact the national contact persons.
