Do Canadian passport holders need a visa for Denmark?
Covers 11 passports and 80 destinations. Rules older than 30 days are flagged for re-check.
How this tool works
We read the official notice for each pair and record the date. Nothing here is generated; a pair with no written check is not shown.
How we checkNo visa. Canadian passport holders visit Denmark visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180.
Denmark is in the Schengen area, so the 90 days are shared with every other Schengen country. When you enter the Schengen area, EES collects information about your trip, face image and fingerprints. You don’t need to take any action before you travel. ETIAS applications are not yet open.
