Denmark Extends Border Checks with Germany Until May 2027

Travelers heading south from Sweden through Denmark to Germany face ongoing border checks. You must carry valid passports and residence permits when traveling.

Danish Justice Minister Nicolai Wammen announced the rule extension. Temporary controls on the Danish-German border now run until May 17, 2027. The Danish government cited ongoing security concerns for keeping the checks.

These checks affect land borders and ferry routes between Germany and Denmark. Stockholm residents traveling to Europe through Denmark should expect potential travel delays.
