Denmark Visa

How to apply for a visa?

Your visa application should be submitted in person to the Danish Visa Application Centre.

If there is no Danish Visa Application Centre or Danish Embassy/Mission in the region, please find a list of missions that Denmark has representation agreements with here.

The list shows where you can apply for short-stay-visa (which is valid up to 90 days) or long-stay-visa for eg.: Study, working, family, reunification, re-entry or other types of residence permits.

Please not that as of November 14, 2013, applicants need to appear in person for the collection of biometric data (10 fingerprints and a photograph). For subsequent applications within 5 years fingerprints can be re-used, and applicants residing in Bali, Medan and Surabaya can hand in their application via the Danish Consulate.

A visa processing fee equivalent to € 60 / DKK 450 must be paid upon submission of application.
