Visa Information
VISA TYPES
Select the visa type that is right for you to see important information on visa fees, documents required, forms, photo specifications and processing times.
Short Term Visa
A visa normally grants you the right to stay in the entire Schengen area. A visa grants you the right to spend a maximum of 90 days in any 180-day period in the Schengen area. It is possible to apply 6 month before the travel date and seamen (all crewmembers) can apply 9 month before the departure.
You apply for a visa to Denmark when
- Denmark is the only destination of the visit(s), OR
- the visit(s) include(s) more than one destination, Denmark is the main destination of the visit(s) in terms of the length or purpose of stay (where you intend to spend the longest time or where the main purpose of the intended journey is carried out), OR
-
if no main destination can be determined, Denmark is the country of your first entrance into the Schengen area.
For example:
- If you plan to have 4 days of meetings in Denmark followed by 2 days of meetings in Sweden, you should apply for a visa at one of the Denmark Visa Application Centres.
- If you are staying 4 days in Denmark followed by 4 days in Sweden, you should still apply at the Denmark Visa Application Centres, since Denmark is the first destination in your visit to the Schengen countries.
- If you spend 2 days in Denmark and 4 days in Sweden, however, you must apply for a visa at a Swedish mission.
- If you wish to travel to France for a family visit (20 days) and has additionally organised a meeting with a business partner in Belgium (two days) and will arrive at and leave from Amsterdam (Netherlands), the French consulate should deal with your application, as the main purpose of the trip is the family event.
Visa for Greenland and the Faroe Islands: Greenland and the Faroe Islands are the autonomous regions of the Kingdom of Denmark and not parties to the Schengen Agreement. It means that if applicant needs to visit these islands, he/she must submit application for national visas at the visa application centre of Denmark or at the Royal Danish Embassy. A visa to enter Denmark or another Schengen country is not valid for entry into the Faroe Islands or Greenland. This kind of visa allows visiting only these islands.
Please note: visa to Greenland is not valid for entering Faroe Islands and vice versa. Visas to these islands can be one-entry, double-entry and multi-entry (according to the purpose of visit and the Embassy’s decision). Maximum duration of stay – 90 days.
Please note: If the applicant has a valid multi-entry Schengen visa at the moment of submission, he/she needs to apply only for visa to Greenland or Faroe Islands.
If the applicant doesn’t have multi-entry Schengen visa, Embassy will issue a Danish visa with a mark “Valid for Greenland/Faroe Islands”
-
If the most of days applicant is going to spend in Schengen area (Denmark is an exemption), applicant must submit his/her application for a visa of the state, where he/she will spend most of the travel time, and then he/she must apply for a visa to Greenland/Faroe Islands.
Example. Travel plan of the applicant: 10 days in Iceland and 5 days in Greenland or on Faroe Islands. So at first he/she must apply for a visa to Iceland, and then – for a visa to Greenland/Faroe Islands
-
If applicant is planning to spend most of the journey in Denmark+Greenland/Faroe Islands – this visa may cover the stay in other Schengen countries as well.
Example. Travel plan of the applicant: 10 days Greenland/Faroe Islands, 2 days in Denmark and 5 days in Iceland, applicant must submit his/her documents for Danish visa + Greenland/Faroe Islands. This visa will cover applicant’s stay in Iceland as well.

Work
-
Overview
Many foreign nationals are free to live and work in Denmark. However, some are required to hold a residence and work permit - this is the case for Russian citizens. The specific requirements in connection with living and working in Denmark depend, first and foremost, on a person’s nationality and qualifications.
It is your own responsibility to obtain a work permit if you are required to. If you work illegally in Denmark, you risk deportation, and you and your employer risk fine or imprisonment.
Normally, professional or labour market considerations must warrant a residence and work permit, for example, if there is a lack of persons in Denmark who can carry out a specific type of work. Read general information about salaried work.
The rules also apply in the case of voluntary/unpaid work.

Au Pairs
-
Overview
You can be granted a residence permit in order to function as an au pair with a host family in Denmark.
It is your own responsibility to obtain a residence permit if you are required to.
The purpose of an au pair stay
The term au pair means 'on equal terms'. The idea of an au pair stay is for a young person to stay with a host family with children under the age of 18 'on equal terms' with the other members of the family. The purpose is for the au pair to improve language and/or professional skills as well as broaden his/her cultural horizon by becoming more acquainted with Denmark. In return, the au pair participates in the host family's domestic chores (e.g. cleaning, washing clothes, cooking, babysitting) for a maximum of five hours a day, and no more than six days a week.
If your chores exceed these time limits, or if you carry out work other than domestic chores, or carry out chores for someone other than your host family, then you are working illegally in Denmark.
Duration
You may be granted a residence permit for up to 24 months, but no longer than the duration of your au pair contract.
If you have been granted a residence permit as an au pair for less than 24 months, and you apply for an extension, you may continue as an au pair while the Immigration Service is processing your application, provided that you are with the same host family and that the conditions for your stay remain unchanged.
If you wish to begin with a new family, you may not do so before you have been granted a new residence permit.
Family members
As an au pair, you cannot normally bring your family to Denmark.
