The Danish government have introduced additional measures aimed at limiting the spread of the coronavirus. The Danish border is closed until the 31st of August 2020. This means that the border between Denmark and Sweden is closed. No one will be able to enter Denmark without a "worthy purpose".

We have collected a few links with information about the restrictions and travel-advice from Sweden and Danish authorities to help cross-border commuters who travel across Øresund daily to stay informed.

Please be advised that when traveling from Denmark to Sweden, the Swedish authorities requires you to have a valid photo-ID. You can read more about what this might mean to commuters between Sweden and Denmark here.

Do you live in Denmark and consider getting a job on the other side of Øresund? In the commuter guide you will learn about everything from the Swedish “coordination number” to SINK tax and which authority deals with social security.

If you want to apply for jobs in Sweden, you can find vacant posts here on Øresunddirekt, check company websites or send a unsolicited application.

When you work in Sweden, you must pay tax in Sweden. You must have a “coordination number” (Samordningsnummer) from Skatteverket, which is the Swedish Tax Authority, in the municipality of your place of work, and you must also decide whether you want to pay "SINK tax" or ordinary Swedish tax.
