I am travelling from abroad, can I enter Denmark?
Travellers can enter Denmark if they:
• Are Danish citizens
• Have residence in Denmark, Greenland or Faroe Islands
• Need to transit through Denmark to return to your country of residence (e.g. Swedes to transferring through Denmark
to return to Sweden) or have a worthy purpose to transit through Denmark
• Have a worthy purpose for entry (see the question “What are worthy purposes?”)
Note that if you are arriving to Denmark from your private trip from any country, regardless of the status of the country of
departure, the duration of your stay, and whether you are a citizen or a resident, you are strongly advised to stay at home
for 14 days, comply with the general guidelines for appropriate behaviour in public spaces during transportation, avoid
close contact with other people, and pay extra attention to symptoms of COVID-19.
Employees performing critical functions in the health-, elderly-and general care sectors or employees who work with
vulnerable people, should contact their employer in order to agree on the terms of their return to work. This includes an
assessment of whether the employee can be tested for infection with COVID-19. On that basis, a concrete and individual
assessment of whether the person can start work immediately after returning home is made.
