As someone who wanting to go from the United states to Denmark for the longest time this has helped me so much
Beware of double taxation. Uncle Sam wants tax of any income regardless of where you're living.
Some US citizens who acquires citizenship of another wealthy country/state - ditches their US citizenship for that reason.
@charonstyxferryman I thought you could deduct the amount you pay USA taxes from Danish taxes.
As a dane I would just point out that you can save a lot on rental if you are willing to live in Århus instead. They have just gone through a building boom and supply is higher than demand :)
Good call out!
andelsbolig or kollektive
This was very helpful! thank you :)
What about University students
Im planing to move to Arhus!
The weather would suit me down to the ground. Clouds and rain is wonderful. Just have proper cloths. No such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.
Well said
The weather is not an issue, it’s living with darkness, most people not used to it doesn’t understand how it effects your body not having any sunshine for months. And it’s not even bad in Denmark, millions live further north.
Look how far north Scandinavia actually are compared to the Americas 😊
Love Denmark. Been to Copenhagen a couple of times and Aarhus. Very friendly, and still in touch with our orginal AirBnb host. Yes it's expensive to people coming from the UK with the worse exchange rate compared to pre-Brexit, but you can allow for that and adjust when visiting as a tourist. Wish we could find a way to move out there.
I'm from the North East of England, so the weather isn't a con 😄
Great information 🤝🤝 best of luck brother
Gracias!
Its More expensive in undeveloped or developing countries , the wages are so tiny because of corruption/ monopolies.( Im speaking from experience in Chile)
It’s not a catch all but sure
Sounds like America lol
@@S-H-S fortunately the USA has had some strong antitrust laws which make competition,so lowers prices. But now that is going the other way and the USA could be turning into a monopoly/ oligarchy country. For example,in comparison to the wages here in Chile,a loaf of bread would cost 14 dollars in the NewYork state if New York had the same prices in comparison to Chile in wages and prices. Also a pizza would cost 120 dollars. Not many can afford anything here in Chile. People rack up credit cards . Its a failing country . I will mention that Chile has good infrastructure and is almost developed. So the problem is the large monopolistic state controlled by a few people
@@nathanpattee1629 That's why I left Chile, it's brutal how monopoly crushes families.
@@deathbyslime6725 yes,its like a depression that hangs over everyone. I will get out of here eventually. Chile is very depressed.
Thx for making this video🎉❤~
I recall you saying in one of the videos that your wife is an expat too. It would be interesting to hear about her experiences as well!
She’s from Estonia but prefers to keep a low profile 😀She like me came for CBS (we met there) + works in corporate now
Good points. I've been to Denmark 7 times. I like it. Cold? Small job market? Sure, to an extent. Here in Reykjavik, Iceland the mean annual temperature is 5,3°C with summer high of +14° and winter of +3°. There are now over 220,000 working people and the population is crossing 400,000.
Hi Mario I am looking for a rental room. Could you make a new video about that? Thanks!
Thanks for the suggestion !
I love the plot twist in the end 😆
haha thanks
I like ur noises with the slide words
Thanks for the video. I'm impressed by good AI bots have become at constructing such scripts.
Well, here in France the cost of living is bloody high, especially in Paris. Taxes are very high too but, of course, we'll never have the same salaries as Denmark!
You do have great bread and croissants though! I love France
@@MarioScianHQ oh I confirm 😍
Thank you Mario , where are you originally from?
Argentina
Hi, I don't understand the work-life balance if it's enforced or it's just for the Danish company
It's not "enforced" - it's cultural
I would love Denmark; if not for the weather. I live in Oregon and I feel it is too cold and wet in winter, and lacks sunlight. I keep searching for a country with warm sunny weather, and good bicycle infrastructure.
Weather is definitely a big minus - check Spain maybe?
A country with good weather and bicycle infrastructure is a tough one, there isnt really a country that has both.
Denmark and Netherlands are the 2 best countries in the world for bicycles.
@@pleasedontkillme1185 exactly. Its a Big Ol.. WHY??
Move to Barbados 🇧🇧
Hi.
This is a really informative video
May i know how long does it take to learn danish to clear pd3 exam.
Can be just a few months depending on how good you're studying
@@MarioScianHQreally? few months.
I m from india. I got a feedback that it takes around 2 -3 years for clearing pd3. So for a 2nd opinion i approached u and u shocked me by saying few months ;)
Anyhow thanks for your instant response 😀
@@dollydolly5668 I know a Syrian guy who was a refugee. He learned perfect Danish in one year, but he studied every day, and did it like using e.g. this language learning rule:
"When I touch something I must be able to recall the name of this thing in Danish" - and - take a situation where he was speaking, and thinking about how he could do it better. Back at home - by using dictionaries and grammar books - figure out which wasn't correct and why, by asking teachers.
In other words - language immersion.
Spent the past few days trying around ChatGPT so your final words totally got me. This is definitely an excellent tool for pre-scripting and trying ideas but in the end it will lack some « personal flavour ». Imo AI is/will be an excellent tool for creators, leaving more space for pure creativity as the annoying and time consuming parts of creative processes will be taken care of by AI.
Agree!
@@MarioScianHQIve been to far more dangerous and poorer places like Nicaragua, Ecuador and Colombia, but the people are far more welcoming than they are there than in a wealthy place like Copenhagen and Denmark as a whole.
What about University students who planned to studies in Denmark?
What are the tips? What are the advice?
Check my videos on Copenhagen Business School
@@MarioScianHQ thankyou
What about the MSW University?
Sorry I have alot to ask hehe
I have had such an easy time learning Danish, I feel I only struggle with the pronunciation. I don’t have any speech impediments but pronouncing the Ø is so difficult for me
Agree
Sir what about family.
After how many years of your stay in Denmark will you be eligible for or get citizenship. And after you get the citizenship would your parents also get the citizenship and what should they do to get it.
Can't help you with that
@@MarioScianHQ why? So you don't know about it?
@@serendipity4364it might be different for each person
try asking these guys they seem to know about it. @@serendipity4364
Hi there, What did u study in the vocational school in denmark?
I studied business, not vocational school
Hello everyone, I wanted to ask you, I live in Azerbaijan, I have two diplomas (bachelor’s and master’s), I’m 26, I want to move to Copenhagen, but I don’t speak the local language. I speak English, Russian, Azerbaijani and Turkish. Will I be able to validate here my diplomas or should I study again (is it possible to study for free?) or will I be able to work there without knowing the language at the first time? As i mentioned previously I'm 26, is it too late for immigration to Denmark to start my life from scratch?
You're not late if you've the right skills needed in the job market
Hi Mario. I live in Sweden and soon will study IT-security. Do you know if its a good market with IT jobs in Copenhagen
Yes 100%
@@MarioScianHQ Mange tack
La barrera del idioma es un muro demasiado alto, de visita en inglés o español ningún problema pero encontrar un trabajo y hacer amigos sin el idioma complicado en mi opinión
Agree!
Y son tan agresivos como en Alemania por hablar inglés o en Denmark son más tolerantes ?
When you say education is free, is it free in international school as well for primary school?
No, public schools are free, private ones not
Its not free. You pay high taxes.
I'm an American who watched this video while walking for an hour round trip in 4° weather to/from a pharmacy that can't fill a necessary prescription because my insurance is 2 weeks late sending me a card. I have 0 doses left. I have 2 separate degrees but no one in my field will hire me. The program I'm enrolled in due to my (now unmedicated) disability is such that if I get a minimum wage job, it works out that I get *less* money because minimum wage is just that low. Where are the cons in this video?
Sounds tough, I'm sorry to hear
I am really curious. Are there good paying jobs for people who only speak English without knowing any Danish? We are thinking about moving to Denmark from Finland because of the limited opportunities for foreigners.
Yes, in the big companies almost all the work is in English
If you go outside the big cities public transport isnt really great anymore
Well but that's the same everywhere
I am a fan of government provided healthcare, as long as it’s good quality healthcare. I do however believe we should rethink calling it free since it is in your taxes. The average Dane spends 55-75% of his/her income on taxes. That is an insane amount compared to almost all countries. It might be included in that extremely high tax rate, but that healthcare is definitely not free. Awesome vu by the way. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback!
As Finn I always find it comical when people complain its dark and cold in a country like Denmark😆 to us its like the caribbeans.
We had, where I live, permanent snow this winter since october until end of april. Sometimes for a week or two you have less than -30 celsius strait. We had huge snow fall and the sun is out for 4-5h a day. Id love to live in danish climate.
Haha of course it’s relative indeed
some pros are cons for meand vice versa
Sure
"Denmark has long and dark winters"
**me an Albertan**
Have you tried ChatGPT yet? 😀
I'm using daily for my work. Sometimes I have to correct him or it ? :D
Yes
Why not expressing yourself spontaneously instead of using AI
haha I made this video the week ChatGPT came out as a test, all my other videos are spontaneous
wait, but is the information correct?
Yes, but the pros and cons are subjective though
Free free free nothing is free.
True
he did say the taxes are insanely high
personally gender bla bla equality has been mostly a powerplay in the west, it's generally discriminating against other certain groups. It's certainly NOT about who's competent but it's about who;s what colour, sexe or race. That's discrimination by definition, so I don't see that as a pro!
That's what the AI said, you can complain to it :D
@@MarioScianHQ ah the infamous (Woke)GPT ;p Glad Elon is onto BasedGPT.
Anyhow, appreciate the high quality video you made! It's been useful. I'll just haha... stop complaining...
If you like Socialism and collectivism then go Denmark. ...free services high taxes
There's more nuance than that
That sounds like an ideological description. It really has a lot to do with the culture. There is a small country vibe here but with a quite selfsecured sense of direction. The danish people trust in one another which breeds confidence. That why people without hesitance leave their babies outside, in Copenhagen, when they go for a coffee in a café. Thats why they trust that if someone is sitting next to them in a library, that person, will look after their stuff while they go to the toilet etc. Not many people are scared in general about walking the streets at night etc and even during a certain resent period that can hardly be mentioned on TH-cam the people were not that bothered about what was going on, although it did have an impact.
I would say that individualism is also very much part of the story in Denmark. The people are less collective than in most places to the south of Denmark and especially if you go to Asia, south America etc. where family plays a much larger role in peoples lifes. Here friends and colleagues plays a large role and family not quite as much.
Pros of Denmark: it’s a fun and cosy place with lovely Danish people who have a unique culture
Cons: it attracts too many Argentinians 🤮
Yeah there are too many Argentines now, when I came here I was one of the very few
It cant be worse than the US.
I love the US :)
"Social justice" No thanks, I'll not be visiting Denmark.
Sure
Lmao 😂
Everything was amazing until you mentioned LGBT rights
You can’t make everyone happy with that one
Less middle class in Denmark = less home ownership I knew it high taxation a burden same as Australia
Home ownership here is high
@@MarioScianHQ no it not
@@MarioScianHQ Denmark 60% " uk 63%
@@coopsnz1 desirability makes housing more expensive
@@djkenny1202 because government making it more expensive to live in Denmark, it actually 47% home ownership now just like 🇩🇪
