I am leaving Denmark and my short stay visa or deadline for departure has expired
If you haven’t been able to leave Denmark in time due to the worldwide coronavirus (COVID-19) you can have your deadline for departure postponed with 60 days.
When it is possible for you to leave Denmark – this means when you have a flight ticket for your return – the police in the airport will postpone your date of departure with 60 days when you leave Denmark, and hereafter you are able to exit.
This means that you will not have to do anything before you can exit Denmark. It is important that you do not show up at the airport before the day of your departure.
It is possible for you to have a letter issued from the police in the airport, where it is stated that your deadline for departure has been postponed for 60 days, counted from the date when the letter is issued.
It is not possible to have your passport stamped or have a new visa sticker issued.
Therefore we recommend that you keep the letter, also in case you later on wish to apply for a short stay visa.
