Trip out:
Entry to Denmark – not fully vaccinated
If you are resident in the UK, you will be able to enter Denmark if you have a worthy purpose. You can see the
list of worthy purposes on the Danish coronavirus website. You will need to provide evidence of your worthy purpose.
The Danish authorities require UK travellers to present proof of a negative PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before entry or an antigen test (maximum 48 hours old by time of entry).
You will also need:
- To take a test on arrival and self-isolate for 10 days
- If you arrive by air, you must obtain a test at the airport upon arrival
- If you enter Denmark via a sea or land border, you must take a rapid test (antigen test) or PCR test no later than 24 hours after your time of entry
- There is an option to test to release after 4 days with a PCR test
- There are some exemptions including those delivering goods and services in /out of Denmark.
Entry to Denmark - fully vaccinated
Fully vaccinated UK residents or those previously infected with COVID-19 can enter Denmark for all purposes, without the need to test or self-isolate.
- Two weeks must have passed since your second dose and the vaccine must be one approved by the European Medicines Agency.
- You must present proof that you have been fully vaccinated or previously infected.
