Hi,
it’s correct that its possible to get free memberhsip if you are under 30 years. However some requirements apply:
- Your education must be of a duration of at least 18 months/3 semestres
- You must have stayed in Denmark right before starting the education. And you must have the right to stay in Denmark after your education.
- You yearly income from work and SU must no exceed DKK 231,864
- You may not get any other kind of public support, other than SU.
So, without knowing your case, it can be that you do not meet all of the above mentioned requirements.
If you can not get free memberhsip, there is no reason to sign up for A-kasse before you have graduated.
Any kind of A-kasse membership is only relevant if you have the right to stay and work full-time in Denmark (when/if you become unemployed).
Best regards,
