He is Danish. He knew Hamlet Sr. by sight (he says the ghost looked like him), he made a point of coming to his funeral, and most telling, he refers to him as "our king". Barnardo and Marcellus know him well enough to ask him to see the ghost. When Hamlet goes to England, Horatio stays and is on intimate terms with the Queen. When letters come by sea to him, he says "I do not know from what part of the world I should be greeted, if not from Lord Hamlet." This is unlikely as it is, since we know he has fellow-scholars at Wittenberg, but would be impossible if he had grown up in some other country.
There is a counter-indication when he asks Hamlet, "It is a custom?" Surely if he had been hanging around the Danish royal court that much, he would know.
