Denmark Transit Visa

Denmark Transit Visa

A visa is most likely not required to transit through Denmark providing that they do not intend to leave the international transit area.

An airport transit visa (type A) is for transiting through the international transit areas of airports in the Schengen Area (e.g. Denmark), but not for entering the territory of a Schengen state. Whether you require a Schengen airport transit visa depends on your nationality.

Normally, citizens of the following countries are obliged to obtain a Transit Visa when passing through the international transit area of any Schengen country airport:

1.Afghanistan
2.Bangladesh
3.Democratic Republic of Congo
4.Eritrea
5.Ethiopia
6.Ghana
7.Iran (Note: Holders of Diplomatic and Service passports are exempted from the ATV requirement)
8.Iraq
9.Nigeria
10.Pakistan
11.Somalia
12.Sri Lanka
13.Turkey

Travelers, even though they have a visa required nationality, are exempt from having an airport transit visa for transit if they:

 • Hold a valid visa or residence permit issued by a Schengen state.

 • Hold a visa valid for a member state of the European Union or the European Economic Area, Canada, Japan or the United States.

 • Hold a valid residence permit issued by a member state of the European Union or the European Economic Area.

 • Hold a residence permit issued by the Principality of Andorra, Canada, Japan, the Republic of San Marino, or the United States, that guarantees unrestricted right of return.

 • Are a family member of a citizen of the European Union, the European Economic Area or Switzerland.

 • Hold a diplomatic passport.

 • Are on-duty aircrew and a national of a country that is a party to the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation.
