Europe

Insurance

 

We recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling.  You should check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for all the activities you want to undertake.  For more general information see Travel Insurance.

 

Here's how we can help when things go wrong.

If you lose your passport in Denmark, you should contact the British Embassy in Copenhagen (contact details below).  The Embassy runs a full passport service, with a turn around of 10 working days.

 

Employment

 

You should check carefully on bona fides of anyone offering employment opportunities involving asphalting or seasonal work.

 

Registration

 

Register with our LOCATE service to tell us when and where you are travelling abroad or where you live abroad so our consular and crisis staff can provide better assistance to you in an emergency.

 

Money

 

Remember the currency for Denmark is the Danish Krone and not the Euro.

 

From 15 June 2007 new legislation on the controls of cash entering or leaving the EU applies in all Member States.  Any person entering or leaving the EU will have to declare the cash that they are carrying if this amounts to 10,000 euros or more; this includes cheques, travellers' cheques, money orders, etc.  This will not apply to anyone travelling via the EU to a non-EU country, as long as the original journey started outside of the EU nor to those travelling within the EU.
