Current Travel Situation
France to Denmark: What You Need to Know
Denmark is an EU and Schengen member, and French citizens exercise full freedom of movement there. There are no border checks and no visa of any kind is required. French nationals may live, work, and study in Denmark indefinitely.
For stays beyond three months, EU citizens should apply for an EU residence document (EU-opholdsbevis) from the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI). This is a formality and does not restrict entry.
Your French national identity card is accepted as a travel document. Note that Denmark, while in the EU, uses the Danish krone (DKK) and has opted out of the euro.
Practical Tips
Denmark uses the Danish krone (DKK), not the euro. Copenhagen is expensive by European standards: budget accordingly. The country is highly cycle-friendly and public transport is excellent.
