GENERAL INFORMATION
PASSPORT &
VISA
All foreign
visitors wishing to enter Denmark must have a
valid passport. Visas will also be required for participants coming from
most Middle East and some European Countries, the
People's Republic of China, etc. For further information,
participants are recommended to consult their carrier, local
travel agencies, or the nearest Danish Diplomatic
Mission.
On the website of the
Danish
Ministry of Foreign Affairs you can find information about
Danish visa rules, short stay visas and residence and/or work
permits.
Detailed
information about the Danish visa rules, including which
foreign nationals need visas, can be obtained from the website
of the
Danish
Immigration Service.
VACCINATIONS
No vaccination is necessary, unless a
visitor is coming from an area infected with
cholera.
CLIMATE
Denmark lies in the North Temperate Zone, so
the climate is mild in general and similar to that
of the middle belt of the United States and northern parts of
Europe.
For more information about the
Danish climate take a look at the website of the
Danish Meteorological Institute.

in changing money into local currency if you bring currencies
other than the ones mentioned above. Banking hours are 9:00 to
15:00, Monday through Friday except on National
Holidays.
