Royal Thai Embassy in Copenhagen

Get your digital arrival card

Overview

Danes take their Thailand seriously — whole colonies of Danish retirees and winter regulars have taken root from Hua Hin to Pattaya, and the January exodus from Kastrup to Bangkok is practically a national tradition. The formalities cooperate: Danish passport holders enter Thailand visa-free for up to 60 days, with the online Thailand Digital Arrival Card as the only pre-departure step. The Royal Thai Embassy sits in a villa at Norgesmindevej 18 in Hellerup, the leafy coastal suburb north of Copenhagen. Reaching the right desk is a matter of pressing the right button: the switchboard (+45 39 62 50 10) routes callers with press 1 for visa and legalisation matters (answered 13:00–15:45) and press 2 for general inquiries, backed by three role mailboxes — info@, visa@, and consular@thaiembassy.dk. Office hours run Monday to Friday, 09:00–11:45 and 13:00–15:45. The Thai MFA's register also stacks Lithuania on the Copenhagen entry, making this embassy Thailand's listed point of contact for Lithuanian matters; long-stay visa applications from residents of Denmark — and Lithuania — run through Thailand's online e-Visa system under Copenhagen.

Visa Services

For stays of up to 60 days — holidays, family visits, short business trips — Danish passport holders need no visa; the exemption is a policy Thailand reviews periodically, so check the current rule before booking. The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) is mandatory for every traveller: free, online at tdac.immigration.go.th, within three days before arrival — it is not a visa. Longer stays run exclusively through thaievisa.go.th: Non-Immigrant B for employment, ED for study, O for family and retirement, and the multi-year Destination Thailand Visa for remote workers. Residents of Denmark — and of Lithuania, per the Thai MFA's register — are processed under Copenhagen. Visa questions go to visa@thaiembassy.dk or the phone tree's press-1 line, answered 13:00–15:45.

Consular Services

Thai nationals in Denmark rely on the embassy for passports, document legalisation (consular@thaiembassy.dk), civil registration, and emergency help. Counters follow the office's split hours — 09:00–11:45 and 13:00–15:45 on weekdays — with the phone tree's press-1 line covering visa and legalisation questions in the afternoon block.

Service Area

The embassy covers Denmark; the Thai MFA's register additionally lists Lithuania under the Copenhagen entry, making the embassy Thailand's stated point of contact for Lithuania.

Appointment Information

The chancery at Norgesmindevej 18 in Hellerup opens Monday to Friday, 09:00–11:45 and 13:00–15:45, closing on Thai and Danish public holidays (the embassy publishes its combined holiday list). Route yourself by desk: visa@thaiembassy.dk for visas, consular@thaiembassy.dk for legalisation, info@thaiembassy.dk for everything else — or +45 39 62 50 10, press 1 (visa/legalisation, 13:00–15:45) or press 2 (general).

Special Notes

The press-1 phone line answers only in the afternoon block (13:00–15:45) — email is the faster route in the mornings. The Thailand Digital Arrival Card is required regardless of visa status, the 60-day exemption is subject to periodic review, and e-Visa fees are non-refundable.

Frequently asked questions

Do Danish citizens need a visa for Thailand?

Not for stays of up to 60 days — tourism, family visits, and short business trips are covered by Thailand's visa exemption for Danish passports. Every traveller still registers the Thailand Digital Arrival Card online within three days before arrival. Working, studying, retiring, or staying longer requires an e-Visa applied for online before departure.

How do residents of Denmark apply for a Thai long-stay visa?

Entirely online through the official Thai e-Visa portal, selecting Denmark as country of residence — applications are then processed under the Copenhagen embassy. Choose the category that fits, upload documents digitally, and pay the non-refundable fee online. Visa questions: visa@thaiembassy.dk or +45 39 62 50 10, press 1, answered 13:00–15:45.

Does the Thai embassy in Copenhagen also cover Lithuania?

The Thai MFA's register lists Lithuania under the Copenhagen entry, making this embassy Thailand's stated point of contact for Lithuanian matters. Applications themselves are always submitted through the online e-Visa portal, wherever the applicant resides.

Monday to Friday, 09:00–11:45 and 13:00–15:45 at Norgesmindevej 18 in Hellerup, closed on Thai and Danish public holidays. The visa/legalisation phone line (press 1 on +45 39 62 50 10) answers only in the afternoon block, 13:00–15:45.
