It depends on where you are from. If you coem from a EU country it is fairly easy, but outside EU is very difficult. You should definitely check out http://www.denmark.dk/en where you will find all the information you will need. If you already have a job waiting the process is said to be much easier. Copenhagen is the most expensive, and Aarhus is getting there. The rule is that the largest cities are the most expensive, however it is easier to get a job where there are a lot of people.

It depends on your nationality. If you are an EU citizen you can just go and work. If you are from Canada, Austrailia, or New Zealand than you can get a Working Holiday Visa. If you are from anywhere else then you will probably need to get an immigration lawyer. I lived in Copenhagen and it was farely expensive but really not that much more then Canada.

u know i'm sure that moving anywhere is hard and a long process but any place in europe is good to move to because of the educational system and pretty much everything. plus denmark has good banks.

It is practically impossible if you are from the US. If you have an education that we need (doctor, nurse, engineer, IT specialist) you can get a residence & work permit. If you can afford it you can study in Denmark. It is quite easy to obtain a study permit if you get accepted into an education. You can marry a Dane and obtain a residence permit. Besides from that there are practically no way you can live in Denmark on a US passport.

The US is one of a handful of countries that are allowed to stay in country while residence or work permission is being processed (the others are listed on the working holiday visa tip another answer gave you) . No other countries are allowed this in DK. However, you do need a job offer, and employer must file the offer with all relevant details (description, salary, hours, justification for non-Danish, non-Nordic, non-EU worker to fill it--preference given in that order). You are supposed to be approved for residence/work permission BEFORE arriving to Denmark--but like I said, some leeway is given to citizens of a few countries if it appears everything is in order before approval is given. Forms and instructions at Denmark.dk. Decisions are currently taking 6 months or longer. Send applications and all required supporting credentials to your nearest Danish Consular services office. Language will be an issue if you are not working for a company with English as the primary language; these are mostly in Copenhagen. To have a chance with a Danish company, you will need to prove language proficiency. Norwegian or Swedish proficiency will help, but 2 candidates being equal otherwise, then Danish is preferred.
