Mexico to Denmark visa requirements

No visa needed. Mexican ordinary passport holders can enter Denmark visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the Schengen Area. Denmark is part of the Schengen Area, and Mexico is on the EU visa-exempt list (Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2018/1806). This means Mexican nationals holding an ordinary passport do not need a visa for short tourist visits to Denmark and may stay up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period throughout the entire Schengen zone. As of 30 May 2026, no pre-travel authorisation is required. The EU's ETIAS travel authorisation is scheduled to begin operations in the last quarter of 2026; once it is fully in force, visa-exempt travellers including Mexicans will need to obtain an approved ETIAS (an online authorisation, not a visa) before travelling. ETIAS will not change Mexico's visa-free status. Travellers should carry a passport valid for at least three months beyond their planned departure from the Schengen Area and proof of onward/return travel, accommodation, and sufficient funds, which border officers may request.
