Visa requirements for Danish citizens

Visa requirements for Danish citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of the Kingdom of Denmark as a sovereign state comprising the three constituent countries: Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands.

As a member state of the European Union, Danish citizens enjoy freedom of movement within the European Economic Area (EEA). The Citizens’ Rights Directive defines the right of free movement for citizens of the EEA. Through bilateral agreements freedom of movement is extended to Switzerland, and all EU and EFTA nationals are not only visa-exempt but are legally entitled to enter and reside in each other's countries.

In order to travel to another country, a Danish citizen requires a passport, except within the Nordic Passport Union, where no travel document is formally required. However, an identity document such as a driving licence is useful.

As of 2025, holders of a Danish passport may travel to 187 countries and territories without a travel visa, or with a visa on arrival. The Danish passport ranks 5th in terms of travel freedom, according to the Henley Passport Index. It is also ranked 3rd by the Global Passport Power Rank.
