Both Charles Thiam, who has been working at Vestas since early 2010, and Viola Burau, a lecturer at the Department of Political Science at Aarhus University, found little difficulty finding their way around the Danish legal system.

Their only encounter with the system went without a hitch, although Charles did seek the help of International Community when he needed to get his CPR number and a yellow health insurance card.

”Being in a new country was a bit confusing, but then it always will be. I got along fine after I got my health insurance card. My workplace has also been a great help, for example when it came to taxation, which can take a while to suss out when you come from abroad," says Charles Thiam.

Viola Burau’s workplace also helped out when she needed to get her yellow health insurance card.

”My workplace didn't hesitate to offer their help when I arrived. We had a bit of trouble later on trying to find a house. You can't just move in anywhere; which part of town is most attractive in relation to leisure pursuits, cultural life, childcare, workplace, etc? But having lived in one place you get to know the city better and settle in – the same probably applies for the many students who come here from other parts of Denmark," Viola Burau says.
