Why this verdict

Danish citizens are treated as visa-free because Botswana's official eVisa 'Do I need a Visa?' API returned visa not required for the checked country label (Denmark). This guidance is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short tourism/visitor travel only. Work, study, residence, diplomatic/service passports, special travel documents, airline handling, health rules, border discretion, visa-exempt admission period and the live Botswana eVisa flow can change the practical answer. Reconfirm with Botswana eVisa, the Government of Botswana or a Botswana mission before booking.
