Denmark's Happenings in March: Tax Returns, Goodbye Ryanair, and More!
Modifications in Danish Lifestyle in March 2025: Insight into Alterations Experienced
Looking for updates on Denmark this March? Here's what's coming up!
Boom and Bust: Saying Adieu to Ryanair
After the airline giant Ryanair announced its closure of its base at Billund Airport, all 24 of its services from the Jutland Airport will be shuttered by March 31st. Things aren't looking so peachy for the area's many foreign residents, as travel options dwindle due to this decision. But fear not, this ain't goodbye forever! Billund Airport is working on wrangling agreements with other companies to make up for the loss.
Let's clarify one thing - even though Ryanair bails on April, its services will still be operational in March. So if you've already got bookings, don't worry, your vacation is still on!
The Annual Tax Exodus
Is your heart racing for the annual tax return release? Regional taxpayers can rejoice! On March 25th, 2025, the årsopgørelse (annual tax return) will be available on the SKAT website. Have you got updates or corrections to make? You'll have until early May to edit your return – импортант!
Did you know that around 75% of Danish taxpayers receive refunds after filing their annual returns? It's a just reward for working hard and doing your civic duty. Progressive tax rates, eh?
Saying Auf Wiedersehen to Dark Nights
Bid farewell to the chilly, long evenings – come March 30th, Denmark will welcome summertime once again, ensnaring us in the clutches of daylight saving time. So remember to clocks forward by one precious hour on that date, you'll lose a bit of precious sleep that weekend, but bear it – it's a small price to pay for lighter evenings, aye?
EU Citizens Unite: ETA for the UK
In just five days after March 5th, citizens from EU countries will have the opportunity to apply for the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) for the UK. This permit enables travel for short stays for tourism, business, short-term study, or to join your brethren in the UK. Now, keep in mind that getting the ETA won't guarantee entry, and you'll still face border checks. But a quid pro quo, eh? It's £10 well spent!
Unveiling Fastelavn and Cosmic Events
Denmark's going to be celebrating Fastelavn on March 2nd, while Easter eggs will have to wait until April this year. The universe, meanwhile, has a surprise planned – a partial solar eclipse on March 29th. Mark your calendars!
Astrology buffs can feast their eyes on Jupiter and Mars that'll be lit up in Denmark's evening twilight. What a sight to behold!
Traffic Zen in Copenhagen
The environmental emissions zone in Copenhagen expanded on March 1st, blanketing the entire Copenhagen Municipality under strict emission regulations. This move aims to further reduce local pollution, ensuring cleaner air for the city's residents.
Ryanair and the environment - two mismatched partners who are parting ways. As other airlines scramble to fill the void, let's see how taxes, light evenings, and cosmic wonders spark up Denmark's March!
