Hello,

I don't think you can open an account in Denmark without a CPR number or being Danish.

I read that some people were able to open one, but that was a really long journey of negotiation.

Ok, can you tell me how could i get CPR? Do i need an address for that aswell?

To obtain a CPR, you need to have a work/residence permit in Denmark and of course you need to have an address.
