Danish Kroner

The currency used in Denmark is the Danish krone (DKK). Although Denmark is part of the European Union, it opted out of adopting the euro, retaining the krone as its national currency.

Europe

Europe, the world’s second-smallest continent, is situated entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere. It is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south.

Europe is home to 44 countries, each offering a rich tapestry of cultures, histories, and landscapes, from the snow-capped peaks of the Alps to the sun-drenched beaches of the Mediterranean.

Visa applications? Not exactly riveting, but often essential and always unavoidable.

We’ve done the research and pulled everything together to save you time, effort, and energy.

In the tabs, you can check if your child or student needs a visa for their trip. If they do, you’ll find clear guidance, embassy links, required documents, and step-by-step instructions.

And when it comes to submitting the application, parents really are best placed. After all, no one knows the travelling student better.

Parents should ensure that their child's documents meet the official travel requirements for Denmark.

If your child requires a visa to travel to Denmark, please apply using the same passport that holds their UAE residency visa.
