A citizen of the EU can get a registration certificate if (s)he [1]:
> is in paid employment
> is self-employed
> provides services in Denmark
> is a retired worker, retired self-employed person or retired service provider
> has been seconded
> is a student at an educational institution accredited or financed by public authorities, and s/he is able to support him/herself during the period of residence in Denmark or
> disposes of such sufficient income or means so that s/he is presumed not to become a burden on the public authorities
There is also a family reunification clause, which I've been told is very rarely granted. As for the registration certificate, it gives you a social security number, without which you are a non-person in Denmark.
In general, the previous Conservative, extreme right-wing supported government toughened the laws on immigration.
