Information for Nordic citizens

As a Nordic citizen you are free to reside, study and work in Denmark without a permit

STDK. Students in lab

As a citizen of Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden you are free to reside, study and work in Denmark. You do not need a visa, residence permit or work permit.

As a Nordic citizen you can also enter Denmark without a passport. However, you must be able to identify yourself if required, for instance if you are staying in a hotel. Your driver's licence or credit card will do.

To find out more, visit Hallo Norden – the Nordic Council of Ministers' official information website, which  is particularly relevant to students, jobseekers or people who wish to move from one Nordic country to another.
