PD U2/E303 form
Dansk
På jobsøgning i et EØS-land
Brug muligheden for at rejse ud på jobsøgning i udlandet med dagpenge i op til 3 måneder.
Du har mulighed for at få danske dagpenge i op til 3 måneder, mens du søger arbejde i et andet EØS-land.
Du skal opfylde følgende betingelser:
Du skal være statsborger i et EØS-land
Du skal opfylde de almindelige betingelser for ret til dagpenge på afrejsetidspunktet
Du skal have bopæl og ophold i Danmark indtil afrejsetidspunktet på din ansøgning
Du skal have været tilmeldt jobcenteret som fuldt ledig i mindst 4 uger
Du skal søge om tilladelsen, før du rejser.
Ansøgning/ansøgningsfrist
Ansøgningsblanketten (ansøgning om attest PD U2/E303) kan fås på jobcenteret og i AAK.
Når du har udfyldt ansøgningen, skal jobcenteret attestere den. Det kan de tidligst gøre 4 uger før afrejsen. Send ansøgningen i god tid til AAK, så vi kan nå at behandle den, inden du rejser.
4-ugers kravet
Du skal have været tilmeldt jobcenteret som fuldt ledig i mindst 4 uger, før du rejser. I de 4 uger skal du som udgangspunkt stå til rådighed for arbejdsmarkedet og have ret til dagpenge.
Det betyder, at du i 4-ugers perioden:
som hovedregel ikke må ikke arbejde. 1-dags arbejde er dog tilladt;
ikke må være syg i mere end sammenlagt 3 dage;
ikke må du holde ferie.
Hvis du siger et job op for at søge arbejde i udlandet, kan du ikke få ret til dagpenge i Danmark, fra du stopper med at arbejde, og indtil du tager afsted til udlandet. En eventuel karantæne for selvforskyldt ledighed kan tidligst afvikles i den periode, hvor du får dagpenge i udlandet.
Undtagelse for 4-ugers kravet
Der kan dispenseres fra 4-ugers kravet, hvis:
du skal flytte, fordi din ægtefælle/samlever har fået arbejde i mere end 5 uger, eller skal påbegynde en uddannelse af mindst 18 måneders varighed;
din ægtefælle/samlever skal starte selvstændig virksomhed i det pågældende land;
du er statsborger i det land, du søger om EØS-dagpenge til. Du skal dog være tilmeldt jobcenteret i Danmark i mindst 1 uge op til afrejsedagen.
Sådan udbetales dagpengene
AAK udbetaler dagpengene til din NemKonto. Du skal udfylde et særligt EØS-dagpengekort, der danner grundlag for udbetalingen.
Du får det samme beløb efter skat, som du ville have fået i Danmark.
I Norge, Island, Schweiz og Liechtenstein udbetales dagpengene af det lokale jobcenter i det land, hvor du søger arbejde.
Dagpenge når du kommer hjem
For igen at kunne få dagpenge i Danmark skal du være vendt tilbage og tilmeldt jobcentret, inden attestperiodens udløb. Du må fx ikke holde ferie i udlandet i forlængelse af attestperioden.

AAK pay unemployment benefits to your NemKonto. You must fill in a special EEA unemployment benefit card that forms the basis for payment.
You get the same amount after tax that you would have received in Denmark.
In Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein the allowances are paid by the local job center in the country where you are looking for work.

Again to qualify for benefits in Denmark, you must be returned and enrolled jobcentre before the certificate expires. You may not, for example spend a holiday abroad in continuation of certification period.

Banks and cards in Copenhagen
To open a bank account in Denmark you need you be a registered citizen, i.e. you need to have a CPR number and the Sundhedskort (the yellow card). Somewhat surprisingly though, if you leave Denmark to reside abroad you can still keep your danish bank account open. You just need to give your new contact data and your foreign tax number.
If you need to make international transfers, since 2012 you need to give the bank a copy of your passport.
Main banks in Copenhagen are:
Danske Bank
Nordea
Jyske Bank
Amagerbanken
Nykredit
Handelsbanken
Spar Nord
You need to get an "online banking account" if you don't want to spend a fortune and a lot of time going to the bank to do simple operations such as money transfers, bill payments, etc.
Also, you need to get two cards (at least) from the bank:
-the debit card that allows you to withdraw money from the cash machines and pay in some supermarkets and shops;
-the credit card (you'll need to prove three months of steady income)
Usually the two cards, if connected to the same bank account, share the same pin code.
The use of both debit and credit cards is very common in Denmark and people use them to pay for anything. Cash has become so rare that waiters might often give you the wrong change!
Remember, very rarely you are asked or allowed to sign a receipt when paying with a credit card.
It is more likely that you will have to use the pin code, which might be not so common for credit card users coming from abroad.
The credit card will arrive to your address with a similar letter:
