United Kingdom to Denmark visa requirements

No visa. British Citizen passport holders can enter Denmark visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days in any 180-day period as a Schengen short stay. ETIAS is not yet required as of 21 June 2026. Denmark is part of the Schengen Area, and the United Kingdom is a Schengen visa-exempt third country following Brexit. British Citizen passport holders therefore do not need a visa for tourism or short visits and may stay for up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period across the entire Schengen Area combined (not just Denmark). The passport must be issued within the previous 10 years and remain valid for at least 3 months beyond the intended date of departure from Schengen. As of 21 June 2026 no pre-travel authorisation is required: ETIAS (the EUR 20 travel authorisation for most visa-exempt nationals aged 18 to 70) has not yet gone live and is expected in the last quarter/autumn of 2026. The EU Entry/Exit System (EES) started on 12 October 2025 and is being implemented across Schengen; short-stay travellers may need to register fingerprints and a facial photo at the external border, with no advance action and no fee. At the border, UK travellers may be asked to show a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and sufficient funds. Note the UK's separation from the EU means the EU/EEA fast lanes and freedom-of-movement rights no longer apply.
