Frequently asked questions
No. Cyprus is an EU member, so you can enter Denmark visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period for tourism, business, or family visits.
Yes, as an EU citizen you have the right to work in Denmark without a work permit. You just need to register with the Danish authorities if you stay longer than 3 months.
You can apply for a residence permit at the Danish Immigration Service (Ny i Danmark). You'll need to show you have a job, study place, or sufficient funds. The process takes a few weeks.
If you stay less than 3 months, no. For longer stays, you must register with the local municipality (kommune) within 90 days of arrival. You'll get a CPR number (personal ID).
Your passport or a copy. Police can ask for ID. A driver's license is not accepted as proof of identity for non-Danes — only your passport or EU ID card works.
No. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. If it expires sooner, renew it before traveling.
