Just like in the previous years, you will have to ensure that you and your family have the necessary visas for entering into Denmark i. For that, we encourage you to apply as early as possible to ensure enough time for the Danish diplomatic missions to process your application. Denmark is part of the Schengen agreement, therefore if you already have a Schengen visa valid for the period you wish to stay in Denmark, you will be able to use that for your entry.
We recommend that you travel with an official invitation letter to support your reason for traveling to Denmark. Denmark has agreements with many countries whose nationals thus not need a visa to travel to the Schengen countries. Please check the website of the Danish Immigration Service to see the list of visa-free countries. It is strongly recommended to bring your official invitation letter when traveling with your UNLP and be mindful in case you transit through other Schengen countries as they might not support the UNLP.
An itinerary directly in and out of Denmark is recommendable. The following steps outline your journey to obtain a visa:. We wish you good luck with your travel preparations and please get in contact should you need any help. Your first point of contact is always your Focal Point! The UN mission in Iraq seems to be deprived from joining the games as it was the case last year when no one from Iraq could participate.
The Portuguese consulate was not responsive to the applications submitted, while no other countries of the Schengen family were supportive to grant visas. Thus, nobody from the UN mission in Iraq could participate.
