First, let's clarify what the term in the title means. Visa requirements for Danish citizens are the set rules and conditions applicable to Danish passport holders upon traveling abroad.  The pre-established requirements differ depending on which country you are traveling to as a Danish citizen. However, Danish citizens have significant travel liberty. Over 180 countries allow travelers from Denmark to visit either without a visa or get their visa after arrival.  Dozens of countries which permit Danish citizens to travel with no visa for a short period of time (between 14 and 365 days, usually 90 days) usually do not require tourists to obtain a visa through an Embassy or an electronic system. Furthermore, numerous countries offer an eVisa system for Danish passport holders to use. eVisas are the easiest travel permits to obtain since the whole process can be completed online upon following a few simple steps.  The approved document then arrives directly at the applicant’s email address in the form of a PDF file. Danish citizens are also eligible for a visa on arrival in certain countries. The disadvantage of waiting until arrival is that you are required to stand in line and wait at the border, which can take some time. However, a number of destinations still require Danish citizens to have an Embassy visa. Traditional travel permits are obtainable upon visiting an Embassy yourself and going through the regular visa application process.
