Information:
The office is situated in the heart of the capital in
the commercial district near to Half-Die ports section.
There services include visa application, residence permit
application, and services for Danish citizens.
Visa applications are processed in direct cooperation
between the Danish Immigration Service in Copenhagen
and Danish missions abroad. Visa applications should
be filed at a Danish mission abroad like all Embassies
and certain consulates. The abbreviation “vis” mentioned
under contact details in the list of Danish Diplomatic
and Consular Posts indicates that the mission is authorised
to issue visas.
Rules:
Danish Visa Rules:
If you wish to travel to Denmark, you should inquire
whether you will need a visa. In the affirmative, make
sure to file an application in due time.
•
Visas
A visa is issued for the purpose of a short stay (less
than 3 months) in Denmark and other Schengen countries.
Employment is not permitted during the stay covered
by the visa.
Foreign citizens who are exempted from basic visa requirements
can stay, but not work, in the Schengen region up to
3 months.
• Residence and Work Permits
For sojourns longer than 3 months as well as stays in
connection with studies or employment, including work
as au pair, a residence and/or work permit is required.
However, special rules apply to citizens from the Nordic
Countries, the EU Member States as well as Switzerland
and Liechtenstein.
• Further
information
Detailed information about the Danish visa rules, foreign
nationals who need visas as well as rules governing
residence and work permits in Denmark can be obtained
from the website of the Danish Immigration Service.
Honorary consulates are
NOT authorised to issue visas. Certain honorary
consulates with special authorisation may, however,
receive applications and forward them to the supervising
Danish Embassy. The abbreviation “postvis” mentioned
under contact details in the list of Danish Diplomatic
and Consular Posts indicates that the consulate is authorised
to receive visa applications. In such cases, if a visa
is granted, you must contact the Embassy in person in
order to have your visa issued at a later stage.
If it is more convenient for you, it may also be arranged
that the authorisation to issue a visa is sent to another
Danish mission on your route to Denmark.
You may apply for a visa at any authorised Danish mission
in a country where you are staying legally on a permanent
or temporary basis.
For certain countries Denmark has entered into an agreement
with another Schengen country about the handling of
visa applications on behalf of Denmark. As a rule these
agreements only cover applications for short stay visa.
A list of cities where other Schengen countries are
representing Denmark may be downloaded from some official
government websites.
