    Hello my name is Jan, im from the Netherlands and a little more then a year ago i met my now girlfriend we have been together for a year now and we are talking about moving together, she lives in denmark near aalborg and i live in the netherlands near leeuwarden and i would like to move to denmark but i've got several questions and i cant find the place to ask these questions so ill try it here.

    My questions are:
    - Where is a good place to get more information about moving to denmark (i thought maybe the Danish ambassy? havent tried yet though)
    - Is it wise to bring my own car to denmark? i've heard its really expensive to move it to denmark, thought it might be wiser to sell it here and buy a car in Denmark (my car is a toyota aygo from 2011)
    - Same goes for my motorcycle (suzuki Drz400sm from 2005)
    - And im currently doing an "education" as car painter and currently got a job in as car painter, are my papers, and the fact that im working as a car painter now enough to get the same job in denmark or would i have to get different papers/ do another education when i move there?

    hopefully someone has some answers for me :) thanks in advance

    The best place to start your research is with the Guide to Copenhagen. It offers info on every aspect of moving abroad. I would also recommend checking out other expat blogs in Denmark as many of them have faced the challenges that you are now researching.

    It appears that SKAT (taxes, import, etc in Denmark) is the best official resource. They offer advice on Taxation of motor vehicles: http://www.skat.dk/SKAT.aspx?oId=1826377&vId=0

    I also found info on pricing:
    It is certainly an expense. You will have decide if the expense is worth it, as I am sure the price of a comparable automobile is high within Denmark.

    Does anyone else have experience or tips? Best of luck!
