COVID-19 - Questions/Answers

Le 15/03/2020

The Danish government has introduced extremely strict rules for foreigners' acces to Denmark. Only foreigners having a creditable reason for entering Denmark will be accepted. For the time being, visits to seriously ill family members, visits to children in case of a divorce, or working in Denmark has hitherto been stated as being creditable.

However, the police will during the coming days specify what will be accepted as creditable. To ensure that this interpretation creates as little disturbance as possible for you, we should be grateful if you will let us know what should be accepted as creditable reasons for entering Denmark, in order that these restrictions creates the least disturbance for your day to day business. On the basis of your input we will contact the Danish police to ask that this is taken into account.
