Schengen area rules apply
Denmark is part of the Schengen area. Your 90-day visa-free stay covers all 27 Schengen countries combined. Keep track of your days — there's no separate allowance for each country.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Denmark, not from your departure date. If your passport expires sooner, renew it before you travel.

Frequently asked questions
Up to 90 days within any 180-day period. This is the Schengen-wide limit — days spent in other Schengen countries count toward the same 90 days.
No. The visa-free stay cannot be extended for tourism or business. If you need to stay longer, you must apply for a residence permit before your 90 days expire.
No, not for stays under 90 days. Only if you plan to stay longer (e.g., for work or study) do you need to register with the Danish Immigration Service.
No problem. The same 90-day limit applies to the entire Schengen area. You can move freely between countries without additional checks.
No. The visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, and short visits. Remote work is generally allowed as long as you don't take a local job. If you plan to work for a Danish company, you need a work permit.
Overstaying can result in a fine, a ban from re-entering the Schengen area, or both. The Danish Immigration Service takes overstays seriously.
No. If you're transiting through a Danish airport and staying airside (not passing through passport control), you don't need a visa. If you need to enter Denmark (e.g., to switch airports or stay overnight), the visa-free rules apply.
