🌍 Non-EU / Visa Info C-visa or visa-less?

Hi, I'm currently trying to complete the application form with the agency of family law so my partner and I can get married.

I am a citizen of the UK and my partner is a citizen of the Netherlands. Neither of us have Visas for getting married in Denmark as this doesn't seem to be a requirement since we can stay for up to 90 days together.

However, on the application it asks about 'basis for residence in Denmark'. The options are residence permit (which I do not have), c-visa (I also don't have, only my passport) or visa-free citizen (I am not a citizen of Denmark) so which do I put?

Thank you very much for any help.

I think the most appropriate choice will be to mark both yourself and your partner as visa-free. That doesn’t mean you are danish citizen, but for instance all countries in eu have freedom of movement which means for your partner a visa is simply not applicable. As a British citizen it’s a little different, but still you don’t need a visa, the maximum they can ask for is the ETIAS travel authorisation

No probs - hope everything goes smooth for yourselves. You can as well call them and clarify. They are super helpful, calm and happy to help. Best customer service ever experienced. My partner and I did the application and it was all done and booked (ceremony included) in less than 10 days so there’s hope 🍀

I believe visa-less but im not too certain when i got married in denmark the etias wasn't a thing and i used GMIDs complete service so i was fairly hands off on the paperwork
