Denmark Allows Visa-Free Entry for Nine Countries' Citizens

Denmark has confirmed that citizens from nine countries on its visa-required list can enter the country without a visa, provided they hold valid biometric passports. This information was released by the Danish Immigration Service and is available on the official newtodenmark.dk portal, last updated on July 24.

The nine countries eligible for this exemption include Albania (biometric passports issued since May 2010), Armenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina (biometric passports issued since October 15, 2009), Georgia (all passports issued from July 28, 2014, are biometric), Kazakhstan, Kosovo (biometric passports issued since October 2011), Moldova (biometric passports issued since January 1, 2011), Montenegro (biometric passports issued since May 2008), and North Macedonia (biometric passports issued since April 2007). Tunisia and Serbia also have biometric passport exemptions but are listed separately.

Biometric passports, or e-passports, contain an embedded electronic chip that enhances security and speeds up border processing. Citizens from countries like Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa remain on Denmark's visa-required list.
