Staying for a short visit

A religious worker can also stay for short visits in Denmark (max. 90 days within a period of 180 days) if, for example, he/she wishes to participate in a religious event.

If he/she is a national of a country where you need a visa to come to Denmark, he/she must apply for a visa. Note that a visa does not allow you to work, including, for instance, delivering a sermon or preaching, unless immigration authorities have explicitly given you permission to do so.

See the list of countries that require a visa.
