Visa & paperwork for Portugal citizens
EU free movement applies

Language overlap

What you'll earn in Denmark
Beyond the cash, host families in Denmark typically provide: Free room & meals, paid Danish course, health insurance, paid vacation. Add up the savings on rent, food, and utilities and the real value is significantly higher than the pocket money alone.
