SPOUSES, live-in partners, fianceés and “sweethearts” of Danish citizens are now permitted to enter the country from Germany as well as other Scandinavian countries.

According to recent travel updates shared by Denmark’s National Police, those who wish to do so must have been in a relationship with a Danish national for at least six months, the National Police noted in its guidelines, and provide sufficient proof of partnership to authorities at Denmark’s border. Examples of adequate documentation include a partner’s name and address, combined with copies of email, text or telephone correspondence, as well as photos.

In its guidance for individuals who intend to act on this opportunity, Danish law enforcement noted that while the extent of “proof” a person wishes to provide is their decision, entry into the country is not guaranteed.

“An overall assessment will be made at the border as to whether the foreigner will be allowed to enter Denmark,” police stated, adding that the newly-drawn border permissions exclude relationships that have been conducted solely through phone calls. (SD-Agencies)
