Visas Denmark
For European Union nationals, a simple identity card is now sufficient. European Community nationals enjoy freedom of movement. For stays of more than three months, you need to apply for a residence permit at the town hall of your place of residence. This is granted subject to sufficient resources for the duration of the stay in Denmark, the amount of which varies from case to case. An employee with a permanent contract can obtain a residence permit valid for five years.

Vaccines and safety in Denmark
Vaccines and local diseases
No vaccinations are required for travelers passing through Denmark. The recommendations are exactly the same as in France.
The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) certifies your entitlement to health insurance in Europe. During a temporary stay in a member state of the European Union, it entitles you to reimbursement of medically necessary treatment.
Safety in Denmark
There are no major risks in Denmark, but since 2015 the risk of terrorism has been considered significant. In big cities, especially during peak tourist periods, be on the lookout for pickpockets. However, before you leave, check the France Diplomatie website for official recommendations.
Health and repatriation insurance in Denmark
Why take out international health insurance when traveling or living in Denmark? Quite simply because healthcare costs can quickly reach very high levels abroad. Repatriation cover is also an essential criterion. In the event of a serious accident, medical repatriation to the nearest medical center or to the country of residence may be necessary. Depending on where you are at the time of the accident, and the medical prognosis, it may be necessary to charter a helicopter or medical aircraft.
