Hi,
A Working Holiday permit to stay in Denmark is given for up to 1 year. Because it is a working holiday, you are allowed to work for up to 6 months, but you must not take a regular job. This means that your employment must be limited and not exceed the 6 months you are allowed to work during your working holiday.
With this restriction you will not be able to work for 1 year, which is a requirement for being eligible for Unemployment benefits from a Unemployment Insurance Fund (“A-kasse”) in Denmark.
Furthermore one of the conditions for your Working Holiday permit is probably that you must be able to support yourself during your stay,
https://www.nyidanmark.dk/en-GB/You-want-to-apply/Working-Holiday/Working-HolidayThis means that you can not receive public support, e.g. Unemployment benefits.
In other words – as a non-EU citizen – you will need a permanent residence permit before it is relevant to join an Unemployment Insurance Fund (“A-kasse”).
Let me know if you have other questions.
Best regards,
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
I assume you talk about the possibility to transfer acquired rights regarding Unemployment Insurance (work and insurance period) between EU-countries.
In this way you can get easier access to Unemployment Benefits in your new EU-country, because work/income and insurance period from your “home” EU-country will be included when the relevant authority (in Denmark: “A-kasse”) has to calculate if you meet the requirements for being eligible for Unemployment benefits (in Denmark: “dagpenge”).
But you are right there is a 8 week deadline. You must sign up with a danish A-kasse at latest 8 week after you ceased to be insured in your EU “home” country. So you can no longer get your insurance period from Germany included in a danish A-kasse, when you apply for Unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”) in Denmark.
The option of transfering Unemployment benefits (also called export of Unemployment benefits) is another thing. Your are only able to transfer Unemployment benefits if you look for job in another EU-country, and only for 3-6 months depending on which EU-country you are coming from.
Before you sign up for A-kasse in Denmark, you must be aware that its only a good idea if you are an EU-citizen or have a permanent residence permit. Otherwise you will not be able to meet the requirement of being available for the labour market.
Its easy to sign up for A-kasse – it can be done online. Please read more about how to sign up here:

Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
I am sorry but we can not help you with questions related to tax. You must contact skat.dk about tax related questions.
In Denmark we do not pay a contribution only dedicated to social security. Social security expenses is covered by the generel tax which everybody who have income from salary or from self-employed business pay..
Contrary to many other EU countries we do not have compulsory Unemployment Insurance in Denmark.
If you want to be covered by Unemployment Insurance you must become member of an Unemployment Insurance Fund (“A-kasse”).
There are no speciel rules for freelancers regarding A-kasse and unemployment Insurance. If you meet the requirements you can get Unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”).
See requirements here: https://www.a-kasser.dk/requirements/
Pension is also out of the scope of our website to answer about. Everybody who have a salary pay a little amount every month to ATP. However to get a proper pension you (or your employer) must pay in to a private pension insurance Scheme.
If you have further questions about Unemployment Insurance we will be happy to help you.

Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
You can not become eligible for unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”) from a danish A-kasse if you have not been member for at least 1 year.
But you also have another problem regarding the income-requirement. The income-requirement is DKK 263,232, however only income earned during periods with A-kasse membership counts towards meeting the income-requirement, AND a maximum of DKK 21,936 can be counted every month.
So only income earned from may 15 2023 can be used, and maximum DKK 21,936 per month to calculate the requirement of DKK 263,232 in income.You may have the option to transfer acquired rights (membership period and income) from the swedish A-kasse, if you were member of an swedish A-kasse before you came to Denmark. It can be either Alfa-kassan or voluntary A-kassa.
And you can transfer your acquired rights from the danish A-kasse to a swedish A-kasse, if you would try to get Unemployment benefits from a swedish A-kasse instead of from a danish A-kasse.Read more about this option here:
https://www.a-kasser.dk/transfering-periods-of-work-and-insurance-from-another-eea-country/You have to ask your “kommune” about kontanthjælp. We only guide about A-kasse/dagpenge.
You can not get free A-kasse if you receive kontanthjælp.
Best regards,
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
No its not possible to get benefits from the A-kasse while at the same time studying full time at University. Its due to the fact that a person receving Unemployment benefits must be available for the labour market – and this is not possible if you have to use time on studies.
But at least you can get free A-kasse as a student. Remember to change status to student, if you want free A-kasse.
Best regards,
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHej,
jeg er nødt til at få klarhed over hvad du spørger om, og hvad din situation er.
1. Er du ledig eller i job nu?
2. Er du medlem af dansk A-kasse nu?
3. Planlægger du at flytte til Sverige – eller tænker du kun på muligheden for at søge job i Sverige i op til 3 mdr. samtidig med at du får dagpenge fra en dansk A-kasse?
4. Jeg går ud fra at når du skriver “supplerende dagpenge i 3 mdr.”, så mener du muligheden for at søge job inden for EU samtidig med at man modtager dagpenge i op til 3 mdr.Venligst besvar disse spørgsmål, så kan jeg bedre svare på dine spørgsmål.
Med venlig hilsen
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
1. yes, if you meet the requirements (1 year membership and the income requirement) you will eligible for Unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”). As a swedish citizen you dont need work permit, so you can also be available for the labour market.
2. You dont need to sign up at Jobcenter (or online at Jobnet.dk) before you apply for “dagpenge”. You must sign up from the day you apply for dagpenge from A-kasse.
I assume that you have no “A-kassa” historic from Sweden. If you have been member of A-kassa in Sweden (or compulsory basic insurance in ALFA-kassen) before you started to work in Denmark, you could have transfered your insurance period from the swedish A-kasse/ALFA-kassen to the danish A-kasse. In this way you could probably already now meet the requirement of 1 year membership.
If you have not done that, then its too late now. It has to be done within 8 weeks.Best regards,
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
I assume that you canceled your membership in the danish A-kasse when you began job in the other EU country. And that you have been insured against unemployment when working in the other EU country.
If this is true, you can transfer your insurance period from the other EU country to the danish A-kasse when moving back to Denmark again.
Because you have been member in a danish A-kasse within the last 5 year period, you dont need to work in Denmark to be able to transfer your insurance periods.
You need a PD U1 document from the responsible authority in the other EU country. This PD U1 document have information about your insurance period. You must give this to the danish A-kasse. And the danish A-kasse will take in to account your insurance period in the other EU country when deciding if you meet the danish requirements for Unemployment benefits.
You can read more about PD U1 here:
https://www.a-kasser.dk/transfering-periods-of-work-and-insurance-from-another-eea-country/You can see a PD U1 document here:
https://www.a-kasser.dk/formularer/eu/pd-u1-english.pdfIt is possible that the two countries involved can exchange the information electronically through EESSI, by so called Structured Electronic Documents (SED). Maybe ask the authority in the other EU country if they can do that.
I case of using EESSI you dont need a PD U1.For being eligible for Unemployment benefits (“dagpenge”) from a danish A-kasse you must also meet the income-requirement. Please read more about all requirements here:
https://www.a-kasser.dk/requirements/It is therefore also important that you are able to prove your income/salary for the period you have worked in the other EU country. This can be done with payment notes.
Please be aware that if you decide to quit your job your self (self-inflicted unemployment) you must accept a 3 weeks quarantine period, where you will not receive dagpenge.
Hope it helps you.

Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHej,
som selvstændig vil jeg anbefale en A-kasse, som kan siges at have en lang historik med selvstændige som medlemmer af deres A-kasse, og som har særlige tilbud/produkter til selvstændige.
Her tænker jeg på ASE og Frie.
ASE tilbyder A-kasse og mulighed for tilkøb af enten “HR Jura” eller “ASE Selvstændig” eller begge dele. Som navnet antyder er “HR Jura” for dem der har ansatte og prisen her afhænger netop af antal ansatte. “ASE Selvstændig” er mere hjælp til virksomhedsdrift, herunder personlig sparring, hjælp til marketing, revisorhjælp, gratis inkasso m.m.
Frie blev for få år siden lagt sammen med “DANA”, og har videreført det der lå i DANA. DANA var på det tidspunkt kendt som den eneste A-kasse for selvstændige. Frie tilbyder A-kasse og “Frie selvstændig” som er en samlet pakke der omfatter både personalejura og hjælp til kontrakter, gratis inkasso og rabat hos Advodan.
Ønsker du kun A-kasse er det ikke så afgørende hvilken en du vælger, da det i så fald primært er dagpenge (og ikke de øvrige tilbud) du kan få. Her anbefaler vi FTFa.
Hvilken mulighed du skal vælge afhænger af dine behov. Du kan læse mere og finde tilmeldingslink her:

Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHej,
først og fremmest vil jeg sige at det er nogle spørgsmål, som din A-kasse burde kunne hjælpe dig med (også). Og du bedes også kontakte dem for at få vores svar bekræftet.
Efter Brexit betragtes en britisk statsborger som 3. lands borger i relation til social sikring, herunder arbejdsløshedsydelser. (Se dog om udtrædelsesaftalen mellem EU og UK nedenfor).
Det vil sige at EU-reglerne om f.eks. eksport af dagpenge (op til 3 mdr. for at søge job i et andet EU/EØS-land) ikke finder anvendelse.
For at kunne bruge muligheden for at få dagpenge under jobsøgning i et andet EØS-land, skal man være statsborger i et EØS-land. Det gælder også selvom du rejser indenfor Norden. Nordisk konvention af 12. juni 2012 giver 3. lands borgere mulighed for at overføre anciennitet fra arbejdsløshedsforsikring ved flytning mellem de nordiske lande. Men den giver ikke ret til eksport af dagpenge for tredjelandsborgere.
Udtrædelsesaftalen mellem EU og UK
Er du omfattet af udtrædelsesaftalen mellem EU og UK (“The EU-UK Withdrawal Agreement”) har du ret til dagpenge fra din danske A-kasse som hvis du var EU-borger, og du kan søge job i Storbritannien og stadig få dagpenge fra Danmark i op til 3 mdr. Du er omfattet af udtrædelsesaftalen hvis du boede i Danmark inden den 31. december 2020.
Udtrædelsesaftalen giver dog ikke mulighed for at en britisk statsborger kan rejse til et andet EØS-land og søge job med dagpenge fra en dansk A-kasse.
Det er ikke relevant i denne sammenhæng om du har permanent opholdstilladelse – det er dit statsborgerskab som er af betydning i relation til ovennævnte regler.
Med venlig hilsen
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHej,
du har ingen mulighed for at få dagpenge fra en A-kasse, da man skal have været medlem i 1 år og opfylde et indkomstkrav.
Og selvom vi ikke vejleder om kontanthjælp, så har jeg set på borger.dk, at du heller ikke kan få kontanthjælp. For at kunne modtage kontanthjælp skal man have opholdt sig i Danmark i mindst ni ud af de seneste ti år, foruden at man skal opfylde et beskæftigelseskrav.
Din eneste mulighed er formentlig at søge selvforsørgelses- og hjemrejseydelse eller overgangsydelse (hed tidligere integrationsydelse). Se mere på borger.dk:

Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
yes the prerequisite of no public support is also applied to the job-seeking period.
We do not guide about residence permits – if you want to know exactly what conditions apply to your residence permit you should contact SIRI.

Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
it is a prerequisite for the study visa that the person do not receive public support, e.g. unemployment benefits from the A-kasse.
So the study visa will be canceled if you receive any kind of public support. And in that case you will not be allowed to stay in Denmark and can therefore also not be available for the labour market.
Best regards,
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHi,
it is correct that A-kasse in Denmark has nothing to do with our retirement/disability pension system. So the A-kasse covers – as you say – unemployment periods.
Regarding your other questions:
I can not say how the authorities in your home EU-country will calculate your work/insurance periods in Denmark, when deciding your right to pension in your own country.What kind of information is in the PD U1?
The A-kasse draws information from the income register about working periods, and they can also contact your former employers.The specific information is:
– working periods while you have been insured in A-kasse
– working periods without A-kasse membership
– salary you have received from your employers
– periods (if any) where you have received unemployment benefitsYou can see how a full PD U1 document look likes here:

Best regards,
Anders Weber, A-kasser.dkHej,
det typiske for en voksenlærling/-elev er at arbejdsgiveren søger en form for tilskud. Derfor er det hovedreglen at voksenelevløn ikke kan medregnes til at opfylde indkomstravet for ret til dagpenge, eller indgå ved beregning af dagpengesatsen.
Men hvis du/din arbejdsgiver ikke har fået tilskud til din løn, så skal det kunne medgå både ved beregning af om du opfylder indkomstkravet for ret til dagpenge og ved beregning af dagpengesatsen.
Er der ikke nogen former for tilskud til din løn betragtes det som almindelig løn.
Så er du sikker på at der ikke har været tilskud til din løn, så synes jeg at du skal sige til din A-kasse at det skal betragtes som almindelig løn og dermed indgå i A-kassens beregninger.
Du skriver ikke om og i givet fald hvornår du har færdiggjort SOSU-uddannelsen. Du kan jo i stedet søge om optagelse i A-kassen som dimittend, og få dimittendsatsen. Men der er en 2-ugers frist efter afslutning af uddannelsen, hvor du skal søge om dimittendrettigheder.
Håber det hjælper.
