What is a biometric passport?
A biometric passport, also known as an electronic passport or e-passport, contains an electronic chip holding information used to verify the travel document holder’s identity.
Such passports are used in international travel to support identity verification and strengthen document security.
For citizens of the nine countries, possessing the qualifying passport means they do not need to obtain a Danish short-stay visa before travelling, provided they meet the applicable entry requirements.
