Here are the purposes that give access to Denmark according to the new restrictions

At 17.00 on Saturday, some new, stricter travel restrictions will come into force. Many recognizable purposes have been suspended.

On Friday, Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod (S) announced that the corona situation in the whole world is now again so serious that Denmark advises against all travel abroad.

At the same time, new restrictions were introduced for travelers to Denmark.

Foreigners residing abroad must in future have a recognizable purpose in Denmark if they wish to travel here.

A flight ban is also introduced for all passengers who cannot present a negative coronate test that is at most 24 hours old.

The recognizable purposes have also been sharpened in light of new virus mutations from the UK and South Africa that are spreading rapidly around the world.

That is why special rules have also been introduced for the two countries in particular.

Here is the list of the restricted recognizable purposes:

Sharpened recognizable purposes

It is still possible for people to travel into Denmark if they:

  • Is primary caregiver for minor children
  • Must exercise visitation rights with minor children
  • Is a family or girlfriend of seriously ill or dying people in Denmark

Foreigners residing in the United Kingdom or South Africa can enter Denmark if they:

  • Is primary caregiver for minor children
