CONSULAR SERVICES

Consular assistance includes issues such as passports and visas, assistance in connection with illness and death, assistance in prison cases etc. and in cases of urgent need to transfer money from references in Denmark.

The Danish Foreign Service is not empowered to make disbursements for Danish nationals in need while travelling abroad, i.e. requests to borrow money for a ticket back to Denmark, payment of hospital bills, medical evacuation to Denmark or transportation of a deceased without any travel insurance. It also applies to paying for extra provisions for imprisoned Danish citizens, expenses in connection with court cases, including lawyer's fees, travel and living expenses in connection with evacuations in case of civil unrest etc.

If the Embassy provides assistance to you, you will be charged a fee for the assistance. For assistance in cases concerning child abductions, prison cases and serious crimes, no fee is charged.
