Poland to Denmark visa requirements

No visa required. As a Polish citizen you are an EU national, so you have the right of free movement and can enter Denmark for tourism or any short visit with no visa and no ETIAS. Poland and Denmark are both members of the European Union and the Schengen Area. Under EU rules on the free movement of persons, Polish citizens do not need a visa, an ETIAS authorisation or any pre-travel permit to visit Denmark. You may enter and stay for up to 3 months without any registration, and the Schengen 90/180-day short-stay limit that applies to non-EU visitors does not restrict you. All you need is a valid Polish passport or national ID card. If you intend to stay longer than 3 months you must apply for an EU registration certificate (residence document) within those first 3 months, but for a normal tourist trip nothing further is required. Border checks between Schengen countries are normally absent, though identity documents should always be carried as authorities may ask for them, and temporary internal border checks are sometimes reintroduced.
