Do Canada passport holders need a visa to visit DK?

Canadian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa to visit Denmark for tourism. You may stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the entire Schengen Area. ETIAS is not yet required (expected to launch in late 2026), so for now a valid passport is all you need. Denmark is a member of the Schengen Area, and Canada has a visa-waiver arrangement with the Schengen states for short stays. As of 2026-05-30, Canadian citizens holding an ordinary passport can enter Denmark visa-free for tourism, business or family visits for up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period. This 90-day allowance is shared across ALL Schengen countries, not reset by crossing internal borders. The passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the intended date of departure from the Schengen Area and have been issued within the previous 10 years. Travelers should be able to show proof of sufficient funds (Denmark references roughly 350-500 DKK per day), accommodation, and a return/onward ticket. The European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) will introduce a mandatory pre-travel authorization for visa-exempt nationals (including Canadians), but per the official EU travel portal it is only expected to start in the last quarter of 2026, followed by a transitional grace period. It is NOT yet in operation and is NOT required for travel today. Once live, ETIAS will cost EUR 20 (free for under-18 and over-70), be valid for 3 years or until passport expiry, and authorize stays under the same 90/180 short-stay rule. The separate Entry/Exit System (EES), a biometric border registration system, began phased rollout in 2026 but does not require a separate application by the traveler.
