Denmark Visa RequirementsFor Ukraine passport holders
Ukrainian citizens can enter Denmark without a visa for stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period, under the EU-Ukraine visa liberalization program in force since June 2017.
Great news! Ukraine passport holders can enter Denmark without a visa for tourism or business purposes. You can stay up to 90 days.
No visa is required. Your Ukrainian biometric passport must be valid for the duration of your stay. Carry proof of accommodation (hotel or host address), sufficient funds, and a return or onward ticket. The 90-day limit is shared across all Schengen countries, so factor in days spent elsewhere.
Denmark is part of the Schengen Area. Your stay counts toward the 90-day limit within any 180-day period for the entire Schengen zone. Learn more about Schengen rules →

Current Travel Situation
Ukraine to Denmark: What You Need to Know
Denmark is a founding NATO member and has been a strong supporter of Ukraine during the ongoing conflict. Copenhagen is home to a growing Ukrainian community following the 2022 Russian invasion. Denmark is part of the Schengen Area, so Ukrainian visa-free access applies fully. As an EU candidate country, Ukraine enjoys stable and recognized travel access to all Schengen nations including Denmark.
How to Get There
Denmark connects to Sweden via the Oresund Bridge, and to Germany by rail or road. Travelers already in Germany or the Netherlands can reach Copenhagen by train, making it easy to include Denmark in a wider Schengen itinerary.
Money & Banking
Denmark uses the Danish Krone (DKK). Scandinavia is generally cashless; cards are accepted almost everywhere. Copenhagen is one of Europe's more expensive cities; budget accordingly.
Practical Tips
Direct flights from Kyiv to Copenhagen are suspended during the current conflict. Ukrainians typically connect via Warsaw (WAW), Krakow (KRK), or Riga (RIX) to Copenhagen (CPH). SAS, Wizz Air, and Ryanair all operate routes from Polish airports to Denmark.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Ukrainian citizens need a visa for Denmark?
No. Ukrainian citizens with a biometric passport can visit Denmark visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period, as Denmark is a Schengen member and Ukraine has Schengen visa-free access since 2017.
Is Denmark expensive for Ukrainian travelers?
Denmark, and Copenhagen in particular, is one of Europe's more expensive destinations. Budget at least EUR 100-150 per day for accommodation, food, and transportation. Many travelers use Copenhagen as a base for day trips to Sweden (via the Oresund Bridge) to manage costs.
How do Ukrainians typically travel to Denmark?
With Kyiv flights suspended, most Ukrainians fly from Warsaw (WAW) to Copenhagen (CPH) on SAS, Ryanair, or Norwegian. Overnight bus services from Warsaw to Copenhagen are also available.
Can I travel from Denmark to Sweden without leaving the Schengen Area?
Yes. Denmark and Sweden are both Schengen members. The Oresund Bridge connects Copenhagen to Malmo; there are no border formalities. Both countries are visa-free for Ukrainian passport holders, and time in both counts toward the 90-day Schengen limit.
What currency is used in Denmark?
Denmark uses the Danish Krone (DKK). Sweden uses the Swedish Krona. Though both are in the Schengen Area, neither uses the Euro. Cards are accepted almost universally; Denmark is one of the world's most cashless societies.
Has Denmark provided support to Ukrainian refugees?
Denmark has implemented the EU Temporary Protection Directive for displaced Ukrainians. However, Denmark also has specific national policies that may affect longer-term stays. Standard tourist visits under 90 days are governed by normal Schengen rules.
What documents do Ukrainians need to enter Denmark?
A valid Ukrainian biometric passport, proof of accommodation, evidence of sufficient funds, and an onward or return ticket. Danish border police may be thorough, especially at Copenhagen Airport.
