Current Danish travel restrictions classify all countries into three categories: yellow, orange and red. Ireland is currently categorised as 'orange' under this system. Those travelling from orange category countries can enter Denmark, irrespective of the purpose of their entry, with proof of a negative PCR COVID-19 test. The test must be taken no more than 48 hours before the time of entry.
Those coming from an orange or red classed country are also required to have a worthy purpose for entry, take a test on arrival and isolate. The isolation period can be broken by a negative PCR test taken no sooner than the fourth day after arrival.
It is expected that phase 4 of the Danish gradual reopening of travel activities will take place on the 26th June. Countries, including Ireland, may receive new colour categorisations under this change and the Department advises checking Danish travel advice prior to departure.
The Department of Foreign Affairs is not in a position to provide certification of vaccination as it is not the relevant State body with the power to verify this information.
