Visa

The processing time in visa cases is 15 calendar days, when all required documentation has been provided. See our frontpage for a weekly update as our processing times can vary during peak seasons. 

In cases where the processing requires further enquiries or submission to the Danish Immigration Service, the maximum processing time is 45 calendar days.

The case processing time is calculated from the day the Embassy register the application in the visa system. It is not calculated from the time you apply online or submit the application at a VFS centre.

The processing time for residence/work permit depends on the type of application. For specific processing time, please consult 'New to Denmark' here.

Kindly not that VFS can receive your application on: 

Monday - Friday 8.00-12.00 walk-ins and after 12.00 with appointment. For appointments, click here.

Please find information about the visa application procedure here.

Visa applications for travel to Denmark, Faroe Islands, Greenland and Iceland that are submitted at the Danish Visa Application Centers in Addis Ababa, Algiers (not for travel to Iceland), Dar es Salaam, Kampala and Nairobi are processed by the regional visa hub at the Danish Embassy in Nairobi.

Avoid traffickers pretending to be selling services
Please note that the regional visa hub only cooperates with VFS Global. The regional visa hub has no connections or agreements with sellers outside the premises of the Embassy or VFS Global who offer services for payment. No seller can influence neither the processing period nor the decision.
