Travel papers and visas
As part of the Schengen area, Denmark applies common rules on the movement of people. The requirement for Bulgarian citizens, as EU citizens, when entering and staying in Denmark is to have a valid travel document (ID card or passport) for the duration of their stay in the country.
Bulgarian citizens can enter and reside freely in Denmark for a period of three months. If the purpose of their stay is to find a job and settle more permanently, they can stay in the country for up to six months, as long as it can be documented that they are in the process of looking for a job and there is a possibility of employing them. A registration certificate for EU/EEA nationals is required when staying in Denmark for more than three (or six) months. More information can be found HERE.
Greenland and the Faroe Islands, which are part of the Kingdom of Denmark, are not part of the EU or the Schengen area. EU citizens, including Bulgarian citizens, do not need a visa for short-term visits of up to 90 days within 180 days (the right to a short stay does not automatically include the right to participate in special expeditions to certain parts of Greenland). Applications for long-term residence in Greenland and the Faroe Islands are processed by the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration: (https://www.nyidanmark.dk/en-us/contact/contact-dalrir/contact-dalrir.htm).
Border control:
Inland border controls temporarily introduced by Denmark at the border with Germany (at Danish ports with ferry connections to Germany and at the Danish-German land border) remain in force for a further six (6) months from 12 November 2023 (https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/policies/schengen-borders-and-visa/schengen-area/temporary-reintroduction-border-control_en).
When crossing the internal borders between Sweden and Denmark and between Germany and Denmark, citizens of EU Member States should carry a valid identity card or passport

Certifications and legalisations:

Such documents are then translated into Bulgarian by a translator registered with the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and appointed at the Embassy in Copenhagen. Translations are then certified by the Consular office.
Bulgarian Identity Documents:
The Bulgarian Embassy in Denmark is accepting applications for passports, identity cards and temporary passports issuance and renewal since it operates a biometric recording equipment (fingerprints and iris image). To schedule an appointment, please use the contacts stated above.
