Applies via: VFS Global + embassySchengen short-stay visaSources checked on
Indian citizens apply for a Denmark visa through VFS Global and the embassy. The published fee for Tourist Visa / Non Professional Visa is EUR 90. Processing time (Short stay (Schengen) visa): Normally within 15 days from the day the Embassy receives it (excluding VFS submission/transport time); up to 30 days if further enquiry needed; up to 45 days in exceptionally difficult cases. Application locations listed include Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Chennai and Cochin (6 more listed below). Sources checked on October 15, 2026.
VFS Global is the official partner of the Embassy of Denmark in India; applications are decided by the Embassy in New Delhi. Applicants fill in the visa application and pay the visa fee online at applyvisa.um.dk, print and sign the ApplyVisa cover letter, then submit supporting documents and biometrics at a VFS Visa Application Centre by appointment (Red Carpet business applicants can attend without an appointment). In peak season (March–September) the Embassy recommends submitting to VFS at least 4 weeks in advance. After the decision, passports are collected at the VFS centre with the original receipt (ICR) and a copy of government photo ID (third-party collection only by an immediate family member, an authorised company representative or for official/diplomatic passport holders), or returned by courier if chosen at submission.
Not available: Indian citizens need a visa issued before travel to enter Denmark; India is on Denmark's list of countries with a visa requirement (main group 3) and on the EU list of nationalities needing a Schengen visa. Only Indian diplomatic or official passport holders are exempt for Denmark.
eVisa / online visa
Not available: Denmark does not issue an eVisa to Indians; you fill in the Schengen application and pay the visa fee online at applyvisa.um.dk, but must then book a VFS appointment and hand in the signed cover letter, supporting documents and biometrics in person. An EU-wide online visa platform with digital visas is due only after a seven-year transition period.
Visa-free entry
Not available: ordinary Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa for any short visit to Denmark (visa-free entry applies only to Indian diplomatic or official passports, and to holders of certain residence permits issued by another Schengen country). Airport transit: Indians are not on the EU common list or Denmark's national list of nationalities needing an airport transit visa (Visa Code Handbook Annexes 7A/7B, June 2026), so no visa is needed to stay inside the international transit area of a Danish airport.
