About the Denmark Passport
Denmark holds first place, making its passport the top of the top tier. It provides visa-free entry to 133 destinations, and total mobility reaches 183 once visa on arrival and e-Visa options are included. Europe is the strongest region with 43 visa-free destinations, and South America is the smallest with 12. Visa on arrival applies to 31 destinations and e-Visa to 19, which adds further practical options beyond an already very long visa-free list for Danish holders.
Danes travel without a visa to France and the Schengen area, the United Kingdom, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, China, Singapore and Brazil. The United States, Canada and Australia require only an eTA. Only 14 countries require a traditional visa. Access is already broad, so a second citizenship such as Sierra Leone CIP could add up to three destinations, and residency may suit other goals.
