Before you go
- Check that your passport is valid for the whole stay, and ideally for 3 to 6 months beyond it. Many countries enforce this at the border.
- Visa-free entry normally covers tourism and short business visits. Work, study or a longer stay usually needs a different permit.
- Keep a return or onward ticket and proof of where you are staying. Officers can ask for them.
- Denmark is in the Schengen Area, so the days you spend there count towards one shared allowance of 90 days in any 180-day window across 29 countries. See the Schengen 90/180 rule explained.
- The EU has been preparing ETIAS, an online travel authorisation for visa-exempt visitors to Schengen countries. Check whether it applies on your travel date.
