Newcomer Service is an initiative from Sonderborg Municipality with the purpose of ensuring that our new citizens settle in well in our area. Simultaneously, we are here to inform newcomers of the many possibilities within the municipality.

The Municipality of Sonderborg, which geographically stretches from the island of Als to parts of Southern Jutland, focuses on the security and well-being of our new citizens.

Newcomer Service Sonderborg can help you in many different ways.

Among other things, we provide information on job opportunities for accompanying spouses, home search, kindergardens and schools, culture and leisure, and we help you get a social network.
