COVID-19 guide
When travelling to and from Copenhagen Airport
Please check the following when you travel. The checklist applies if you are a Danish citizen or have a permanent residence or residence permit in Denmark. For other nationalities, consult your own foreign service. There are no longer entry restrictions for Denmark.
Corona pass
Your corona pass serves as your documentation that you have been vaccinated, previously infected or tested. You can show your corona pass using the Coronapas app or a printed document.
Check the validity
Each country can set its own rules for when you have a valid corona pass, so you should check the Danish embassy website to see what the validity rules are in the country you are travelling to.

Check that the app works on your phone
If you have not used the Coronapas app for a long time, it may need to be updated, or deleted and reinstalled.
Consider printing your corona pass
Avoid problems like a flat battery or lack of internet connection complicating your trip. Bring a printed copy of your corona pass from sundhed.dk.
COVID-19 entry rules
Check the entry rules at your destination. Some destinations may have a total or partial entry ban or requirements for testing, vaccination, filling out an entry form before departure, etc.

Face masks
There is no longer a European requirement to wear face masks at airports or on aircrafts, but check with your airline whether there are mask requirements on board the aircraft or at the airport, as local guidelines may apply. Mask requirements may still to apply to intercontinental travel.
Face masks can be purchased at the airport, for example at 7-Eleven, Caffeine and WHSmith.

Corona tests at the airport
It is possible to get a Covid-19 test at the Airport Doctor located at Terminal 2 before security.
Due to the current developments in China it is also possible to get tested for Covid-19, if you’re arriving from China. In order to minimize the risk of infection, free antigen-tests will be handed out on direct arrivals from China.
