normally process your application in less than 15 calendar days. You will be informed when your visa is ready for collection,
or alternatively it will be couriered to you if you have opted and paid for courier services.

In some cases, when the Embassy is not able to process the visa as bona fide, the application will be sent to the Danish
Immigration Service in Copenhagen for processing. Please note that this could take a further 30-60 days.

Service Delivery

Please note, the Embassy always require you to submit your application minimum 15 calendar days before your departure in
accordance with the EU Visa Codex. The Embassy is committed to process all visas as quickly as possible, however, the
Embassy cannot be held liable for late application received at the Embassy.

PROCESSING TIME

Visa applications can take an average of 15 days to process once received at the Embassy. An additional of two (2)
working days should be taken into consideration which is used to courier the application to and from the Embassy.
Passports can be collected on day 17 after submission. Applicants should allow four (4) extra days in delivery time for
applications submitted on Fridays.
Some applications may require further processing, which could take from 30-60 days.
Please note that all applications are processed individually. The Visa Officer may invite you for an interview or request
further documentation or information, which can prolong the processing time.

Is the visa valid for Denmark only?

The Embassy of Denmark issues visas for Denmark and for the other Schengen states. The Schengen visa
issued by the Embassy of Denmark gives access to 24 Schengen countries in total. However, Schengen Visa
applications will only be accepted by The Denmark Visa Application Centre if Denmark is the country of
maximum stay. Should the duration of the stay be the same in several Schengen States, Denmark must be the
first point of entry if making an application at the Denmark Visa Application Centre.
