Long-Time Capetonian Laura Lykkegaard Takes Up Danish Honorary Consul Role
The Danish Embassy in South Africa has appointed Laura Lykkegaard as the new Honorary Consul for Denmark in Cape Town, strengthening consular support for Danish nationals in the Western Cape.
Lykkegaard, a long-time resident of Cape Town since relocating from Denmark in 1993, brings extensive local experience as the founder of Nordic House Cape Town—a hub promoting Nordic business and community ties in South Africa. Her appointment reflects Denmark’s commitment to accessible services for its citizens abroad.
In her new role, Lykkegaard will assist Danish nationals with matters such as passport renewals, international driver’s licences, and other consular needs. Services are available by appointment only.
The Danish diplomatic mission expressed delight at welcoming Lykkegaard, highlighting her as a valuable addition to the team. Danish citizens requiring assistance can contact her via the official channels listed on the Danish Embassy website. This development enhances diplomatic outreach in the region, where a growing number of Danes reside or visit.
