Danish Honorary Consulate in Basel

Consulate of Denmark in Basel, Switzerland

Overview

Honorary Consul Jan Krarup operates from Münchenstein, just south of Basel proper. The tri-border region where Switzerland, Germany, and France meet has long attracted Danish professionals—particularly in Basel's world-renowned pharmaceutical sector, where Novartis and Roche maintain global headquarters. Danish biotech and medtech companies frequently establish European footholds here. Note: This consulate will close permanently on December 17, 2025; after that date, Danes in the Basel region should contact the Zürich honorary consulate.
