VIGTIG INFORMATION
Fra lørdag den 14. marts indfører Danmark kontrol ved alle landets grænser, som led i indsatsen for at hæmme spredningen af COVID-19. Personer, der ønsker at indrejse i Danmark, må forvente at blive afvist ved de danske grænser, herunder i danske lufthavne, medmindre de har et anerkendelsesværdigt formål med indrejsen – f.eks. hvis den pågældende bor eller arbejder i Danmark eller skal levere varer eller tjenesteydelser til Danmark. Personer med gyldigt Schengen visum risikerer også at blive afvist ved grænsen. Se mere her.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Effective Saturday 14 March 2020, the existing temporary border control will be expanded to include control of all of Denmark’s borders as part of the effort to curb the spread of COVID-19. Persons wishing to enter Denmark must expect to be rejected at the Danish borders, including in Danish airports, unless they have a worthy purpose for entering, e.g. if the person lives or works in Denmark or has been commissioned to provide goods or services in Denmark. The risk of being rejected at the border also applies to persons with a valid Schengen visa. Read more here.
It is temporarily not possible to apply for a visa or a residence permit to Denmark nor is it possible to send passports for visa stamping until the lockdown is over and services can resume. It is regrettable however as the covid19 is still spreading across the world, it is still unknown as to when services may resume. Please follow local news and VFS website.
Due to the current restrictions on entry into Denmark, it is not possible to apply for a visa to Denmark at the moment. This means that applicants cannot fill in an application online and hand in the application at a Visa Application Center (VFS). In urgent cases where an applicant has to travel to Denmark before 31 August 2020 and has a worthy purpose for entering Denmark, the applicant can contact the Embassy. Applications for business visas can be handed in 6 months prior to the planned trip. Read more about what constitutes a worthy purpose at the website of the Danish Police.
If you are travelling to Denmark for business and do not have permanent residence in Denmark, we encourage you to organise your business travel and meetings in Denmark in a way that minimises the risk of becoming infected or spreading infection with novel coronavirus/COVID-19. Please follow the 5 general advice from the Danish Health Authority. We do not advise business travelers without permanent residence in Denmark to self-isolate for 14 days after arrival. Please note that travelers need adequate and valid travel medical insurance to cover any expenses, which might arise in connection with repatriation for medical reasons, urgent medical attention and/or emergency hospital treatment or death, including Covid-19 related expenses, during their stay(s) in Denmark and Schengen territory.
