Denmark allows citizens of nine particular states to travel to the country without obtaining a short‑stay visa, as long as they possess a qualifying biometric passport, according to the [Danish Immigration Service](https://www.nyidanmark.dk/en-GB/). This measure is embedded in the nation’s current immigration framework rather than being a freshly announced rule.
**Which countries benefit from the exemption?**
The following nations are covered: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Ukraine. Holders of eligible biometric passports from each of these states can enter Denmark visa‑free, subject to the usual entry conditions.
**What is a biometric passport?**
A biometric passport, also known as an e‑passport, contains an electronic chip that stores data used to confirm the holder’s identity. Such passports enhance security and streamline identity verification for international travel.
**Are there any limitations?**
For Georgia, the visa‑free privilege does not extend to diplomatic, service, official or special passports. Other countries follow the general rule without such exceptions.
**What does the Danish Immigration Service say?**
"Citizens holding qualifying biometric passports are exempt from the visa requirement," the agency states in its official guidance.
Travelers from the nine listed countries should ensure their passports meet the biometric criteria and that they satisfy any additional entry requirements before journeying to Denmark.
