Entry requirements

RequirementDetailsStatus
Valid passport
Must be valid for entire stay in Denmark
Your passport needs to be valid for the whole time you're in Denmark. No minimum validity period beyond your departure date is required by Danish law, but some airlines may ask for 6 months — check with your carrier before flying.Required
Return or onward ticket
Required for Schengen entry
Immigration at Copenhagen Airport and other Schengen entry points will ask for proof of onward travel. Have a return flight or a ticket to a non-Schengen country ready — they check this consistently.Required
Proof of accommodation
Hotel booking or host invitation
Keep a printed or digital copy of your hotel reservation, hostel booking, or a letter from your host in Denmark. Border officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays.Recommended
Proof of funds
Sufficient means of support
You should be able to show you have enough money for your stay — roughly 500 DKK per day. A recent bank statement or credit card usually satisfies the officer if asked.Recommended
Visa-free travel confirmed
Slovenian passport holders do not need a visa for Denmark for stays up to 90 days. Just ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your entry date.
Schengen 90/180-day rule applies
Your 90-day allowance is shared across all Schengen countries. Keep track of your days — overstaying can result in fines or a ban from the Schengen Area.
