At the Emigration Fair, you are able to meet EURES Denmark/Workindenmark, and you are also able to talk to representatives from the municipalities Kalundborg, Norddjurs, Lolland and Bornholm. They can tell you all about job possibilities, housing, schools, nature and all of the important things you need to look into before relocating to Denmark.
Lolland
Lolland is situated in the South East of Denmark, connected to Zealand by a bridge and, in the near future to Germany by a tunnel.
Lolland is a great place to live, whether you’re on your own or with your family. We’ve got some amazing natural surroundings,
a strong community and a healthy work-life balance.
Bornholm
Imagine working on Bornholm – a Danish island situated in the Baltic Sea close to Sweden with many job opportunities. The business community is growing and needs more employees. And you get time for both your career, family and leisure
Kalundborg
Whether you're looking for your dream job, an affordable home, breathtaking nature, family-friendly beaches, world-class local food and wineries, or vibrant cultural experiences - Kalundborg has it all. Join the 48,000 people who already call this special place home and discover why Kalundborg is the perfect place to live, work, and thrive.
Norddjurs
Experience Norddjurs — a place where opportunity and wellbeing meet.
The area offers the perfect balance between career potential and quality of life. Here, you’ll find 117 km of scenic coastline with nine pristine Blue Flag beaches, 20% forested landscapes, and welcoming local communities that make it easy to settle in. With unemployment below 3% and Aarhus less than an hour away, Norddjurs combines natural beauty with real prospects for work and growth. By car, Amsterdam is about 9 hours away, keeping Norddjurs both connected and accessible.
Esbjerg
Esbjerg Municipality is an ideal choice for those who want strong career opportunities together with a calm coastal lifestyle. As the energy capital of Denmark, the area offers exciting jobs within offshore wind and green innovation, supported by a work culture built on trust, flexibility and real balance between work and home.
Families value the safe environment, good schools and easy access to nature, and newcomers often find that settling in feels straightforward thanks to welcoming locals and well-functioning public services.

Covering 1,246 square kilometers and home to nearly 50,000 residents, Varde Municipality offers wild nature, beautiful beaches, a wide range of job opportunities and strong local communities.
