Visas for Denmark, without the guesswork

Short stays in Denmark run on the shared Schengen rules — one C visa (or none, for exempt passports) covers all 29 countries. Everything else is national: where you apply, who runs the centres, and every stay over 90 days.

How Denmark takes applications

Good to know about Denmark

• Denmark's online ApplyVisa flow means the paper form is filled digitally before the appointment in most countries.
• Heavy Nordic representation: where Denmark has no mission, Norway, Sweden or another Nordic state often takes Danish applications (and vice versa).
• The Faroe Islands and Greenland are NOT in Schengen — a Schengen visa is not valid there; you need a specific Faroes/Greenland endorsement on the Danish visa.

Staying longer than 90 days

Long stays are residence permits decided by SIRI (work/study) or the Immigration Service — applied online via nyidanmark.dk, with biometrics at a mission or centre abroad.
