Denmark is a Scandinavian country and EU/Schengen member known for hygge lifestyle, Viking heritage, modern design, sustainable living, and being one of the world's happiest countries.

Denmark offers clean, efficient, and charming Scandinavian experiences.

Visa Requirements for Denmark

As a Schengen Area member, Denmark follows standard Schengen visa policies. EU/EEA/Swiss citizens can enter with just a valid ID card or passport for unlimited stays. Citizens of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and many other countries can enter visa-free for tourism or business stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the entire Schengen Area. Those requiring Schengen visas should apply through Danish embassies or consulates (or other Schengen country missions), submitting completed application forms, passport photographs, travel itinerary, proof of accommodation, travel insurance (minimum €30,000 coverage), and proof of financial means. Note: Greenland and Faroe Islands (Danish territories) have separate visa requirements from mainland Denmark and are not part of the Schengen Area.
