Do United Kingdom passport holders need a visa to visit DK?

No visa. UK ordinary 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 30 May 2026. Denmark is part of the Schengen Area, and the United Kingdom is a Schengen visa-exempt third country following Brexit. British (GB) ordinary 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 30 May 2026 no pre-travel authorisation is required: ETIAS (the EUR 20 travel authorisation for visa-exempt nationals) has not yet gone live and is scheduled for the last quarter of 2026. The EU Entry/Exit System (EES) has been operational since April 2026, so travellers register fingerprints and a facial photo at the external border on first entry, replacing manual passport stamping; this is free and requires no advance application. 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.
