Vietnam visa exemption for Danish citizens and conditions
From 15 August 2025, Danish citizens will be exempt from obtaining a Vietnam visa if they stay in the country for less than 45 days, along with other Vietnam visa free nationals.

- Have at least two blank pages in the passport for entry and exit stamps.
- Be prepared to present proof of an onward or return flight ticket upon entry into Vietnam.
- Not be subject to any conditions or restrictions under Vietnamese law that prohibit entry.

In particular, if the passport has less than 1 month’s validity from the date of exit or fewer than two blank pages for visa stamps, they must renew their passport before travelling.
