Visas
Issuance of Visa
Visa applicants are encouraged to apply for their visas well in advance of their intended date of travel. No assurance regarding the issuance of visas can be given in advance. Final travel plans or the purchase of non-refundable tickets should not be made until your application has been approved and you have received your visa.
Who needs a visa?
Please find a list of countries with a visa requirement and visa-free countries here. If you are a citizen of a country with a visa requirement, you can apply for a visa here.
Due to the closing of Denmark’s borders, the processing of short stay visa applications will be based on whether the visa applicant’s country of residence is classified as open or banned.
Banned countries: If you are a citizen of a country with a short stay visa requirement, and you are resident in a banned country, you must have a worthy purpose in Denmark in order to get a short stay visa. More information can be found here.
