VIGTIG INFORMATION
Fra lørdag den 14. marts indfører Danmark kontrol ved alle landets grænser, som led i indsatsen for at hæmme spredningen af COVID-19. Personer, der ønsker at indrejse i Danmark, må forvente at blive afvist ved de danske grænser, herunder i danske lufthavne, medmindre de har et anerkendelsesværdigt formål med indrejsen – f.eks. hvis den pågældende bor eller arbejder i Danmark eller skal levere varer eller tjenesteydelser til Danmark. Personer med gyldigt Schengen visum risikerer også at blive afvist ved grænsen. Se mere her.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Effective Saturday 14 March 2020, the existing temporary border control will be expanded to include control of all of Denmark’s borders as part of the effort to curb the spread of COVID-19.
Persons wishing to enter Denmark must expect to be rejected at the Danish borders, including in Danish airports, unless they have a worthy purpose for entering, e.g. if the person lives or works in Denmark or has been commissioned to provide goods or services in Denmark. The risk of being rejected at the border also applies to persons with a valid Schengen visa. Read more here.
Due to the current restrictions on entry into Denmark, it is temporarily not possible to apply for a visa to Denmark. This means that applicants cannot fill in an application online or hand in the application at a Visa Application Center (VFS). Applicants who have handed in their visa application prior to 20 March will have their case processed. In urgent cases where an applicant has to travel to Denmark before 1 June and has a worthy purpose for entering Denmark, the applicant can contact the Danish Embassy in Jakarta, e-mail jktambconsular@um.dk .
