Hi
I have been living in Denmark on first a student visa, then an establishment card. I therefore have a CPR number already for several years. My establishment card has recently expired and I left and returned to the country on the 'visa-free' stay (as a Canadian) until we can qualify for the family reunification under EU rules (co-habitating with my German partner in Copenhagen) in a couple of months.

My question is - during this 'in-between' period, is my CPR number (and particularly my health insurance) still valid, or did it expire the moment my resident permit expired?

Thanks for any advice on this.

If you don’t hold a valid residence permit, you should not be registered at the people’s registry anymore and consequently you don’t have public health insurance anymore.

In case you have not already un-registered at 'Folkeregisteret' (informed them that you have left DK and given up your residence):
Instead of waiting apply now under the EU-rules. The 18 months is not an absolute, it can be less if you can prove to be an established couple. If you are only 'a couple of months' short, apply asap.
