Remember travel insurance – always!
• Travel insurance can save you from large expenses in case of accidents,
illness, or other emergencies abroad. For example, hospital stays or medical
repatriation to Denmark can be very expensive.
• Your travel insurance should cover your travel destination, your situation,
and the activities you have planned. This could be skiing, mountain climbing,
or skydiving. Check with your insurance company before you travel. It can be costly
not to.
• The blue EU health insurance card is never enough – not even for a short trip
in Europe. Medical repatriation is, for example, not covered.
Read the travel advisory
• Safety and security during your trip start with good preparation!
• Check the travel advisory for the country you plan to visit before you leave.
Read about risks such as crime, natural disasters, and terrorism. Get good
advice on what to watch out for. Culture and local rules can be very different
from Denmark. Things that are not illegal here may be abroad.
• Find the travel advisory in the Rejseklar app or at um.dk. You can also see
travel advisories from other countries for your destination.
