Visa Requirements for Danish Citizens

Danish citizens enjoy relatively easy travel worldwide, but each country sets its own entry rules. The requirements can differ anytime, so it is always best to check the visa conditions for your destination before beginning any application process.

En tant que membre de la Union européenne (UE), Denmark allows its citizens to travel freely to all other EU countries through the Régime d'exemption de visa. So the movement between the member states is easy and convenient.

Outside the EU, Danish travelers face a wider range of entry rules. Danish passport holders can visit 118 countries visa-free, thanks to Denmark’s strong global passport ranking (3ème). They can also apply online for an eVisa or an ETA for 53 countries, while 10 destinations offer Visa on Arrival.

For countries that require a traditional sticker or stamped visa, Danish nationals must apply directly at the ambassade ou consulat, and some locations may require booking an appointment online. 

Regardless of the destination, travelers must have a passport that is valid for at least six more months when they enter a country.

Countries Offering eVisa and ETA to Danish

Un eVisa is a digital visa you can apply online. There is no need to go to an embassy, and once approved, you can save it on your phone or print it to show when you travel.

Un ETA (autorisation électronique de voyage) is a digital permit that lets you travel to a country without getting a visa in advance. When you arrive, immigration officers issue your visa. You can also apply online for an ETA, and when approved, it will be sent to you via email

Toutefois, un ETA has a set validity period. You must enter the country within that timeframe to receive your visa. If the time limit passes, the ETA expires, and you must apply again.
