Visa
I
f you wish to visit Denmark for a short period of time, you must obtain a visa prior to entry if you come from a country with a visa requirement for entering Denmark.
If you are a citizen of one of the these countries, you must have a visa.
EU, EEA and Nordic nationals are allowed to enter and work in Denmark for an unlimited duration of time; nationals of a number of other countries including the USA, Canada, Australia and a number of other countries are allowed to enter without a visa and stay in the Schengen Area for up to three months, but are prohibited from taking paid employment in Denmark during this time.
On entering Denmark, EU nationals are only required to provide evidence of their nationality in the form of a valid passport or ID card. Other nationals are required to have at least three months remaining validity on their passport and may be required to show a return ticket and evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of their stay in Denmark. The immediate family members of EU/EEA nationals are allowed to live with them in Denmark regardless of their nationality.
