HAREC license if you move to Denmark
Foreign radio amateurs moving to Denmark can apply for a HAREC license. In this way, they don't have to pass the Danish amateur radio test to get a Danish call.

Amateur radio in Denmark is regulated by the Agency for Digital Government (Digitaliseringsstyrelsen) in Copenhagen.
You request a HAREC license by sending a mail to frekvens@digst.dk or to lvp@digst.dk (Lars V. Poulsen). Attach a copy of your national amateur radio license.

If approved, you can apply on-line (you must ID yourself by MitID) on this page: Introduktion - Ansøgning om tilladelse til frekvensanvendelse, tilmelde til amatørprøver og ansøge om amatørkaldesignal | Virk
After succesfull application, you are assigned a Danish call of your own choise, and you can go on the air immediately.

A paper certificate will be mailed to you.
