What this means
A traditional visa means applying in advance: an application form, your passport (usually with six months' validity and blank pages), photos, proof of funds and itinerary, sometimes an invitation letter or an in-person appointment. Allow several weeks; fees and processing times vary widely.
Requirements differ by travel purpose — tourist, business, transit, work, and study visas are separate categories with separate rules. The figures on this page describe ordinary short-visit (tourist) requirements.
Before you travel
- Passport validity: many countries require your passport to be valid 3–6 months beyond your stay, with at least one blank page.
- Start the application several weeks ahead; don't book non-refundable travel before the visa is issued.
- These rules cover short tourist/business visits on an ordinary passport. Work, study, residence, journalism, and diplomatic travel follow different rules.
- Connecting through another country? Check that country's transit rules separately.
- Denmark is in the Schengen area: short visits are capped at 90 days within any 180-day period across ALL Schengen countries combined, and proof of travel insurance can be required.
