VISA Requirements

Denmark is part of the Schengen area. This means that you apply for a Schengen visa. You must apply for a visa to the country of your main destination, that is, the Schengen country where you will spend most days or where the main purpose of the intended visit is carried out. You will find more information about the Schengen visa rules here.

If you are a citizen of a country with a visa requirement, you must have a visa. See list of countries with a visa requirement.

You must normally meet the following basic conditions to be granted a visa:

  • Your passport or other forms of valid travel document must be valid for three months past the visa expiration date.
  • Your passport or travel document must have been issued within the past 10 years.
  • You must have the necessary means to pay for your stay and return trip. What will be considered as necessary funds will be determined by the Danish diplomatic mission and depends on the length of your stay, and whether you will stay at a hotel or with friends or family. As a general rule, you must have at your disposal approx. DKK 350 per day. A smaller amount may be accepted if you are staying in a private home and your host will cover all costs. If you are staying at a hotel, the amount must be greater, approx. DKK 500 per day.
  • You must hold a travel insurance policy to cover possible expenses in connection with a return for health reasons or death, indispensable medical treatment or acute hospitalisation during your stay. The insurance policy must cover all Schengen countries, and the minimum policy coverage is € 30,000. The insurance policy must be valid for the same period as the visa. The validity of the visa may be shortened if the insurance policy does not cover the entire period.
  • You may not be registered as an undesirable in the Schengen Information System (SIS II).
  • You may not have been deported from Denmark and given an entry ban.
  • You may not be listed on UN or EU sanction lists.
  • You may not be listed on the national sanction list of religious preachers with an entry ban.

Most embassies processing time for visa cases is currently exceeding 15 days. Some embassies currently have processing times up to 80 days. It is therefore very important that you check the current processing time on the Embassy’s website, before applying.
