Entry requirements

RequirementDetailsStatus
Schengen visa application
Short-stay visa (Type C)
Apply for a Schengen visa at the Danish embassy or consulate in your country of residence. Processing takes at least 15 calendar days — submit your application at least 3 weeks before departure. The visa allows up to 90 days within any 180-day period across all 27 Schengen countries, not just Denmark.Apply for Schengen visaRequired
Valid passport
Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from Schengen
Your passport needs at least 3 months of validity after the date you leave the Schengen area. It must have been issued within the last 10 years. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding.Required
Return or onward ticket
Proof of departure from Schengen
Immigration officers at Copenhagen Airport routinely ask for a return ticket or proof of onward travel out of the Schengen area. A flight reservation or bus/train ticket showing you leave within your visa's validity window works. Without it, expect secondary questioning.Required
Proof of accommodation
Hotel booking or host invitation
Have a confirmed hotel reservation for your entire stay or a signed invitation letter from your host in Denmark. Immigration may ask to see it at the border. If staying with friends, they need to register your visit with the Danish National Police.Recommended
Proof of funds
Sufficient means of subsistence
Carry cash, credit cards, or a bank statement showing at least 500 DKK per day of your stay. Immigration can ask to see proof you can support yourself without working. A recent bank statement in English or Danish works best.Recommended
Apply early — slots fill fast
Appointment slots at the Danish embassy in Tashkent can book up weeks in advance. Don't wait until the last minute. Start the process at least 6 weeks before your planned departure.
Your visa is for the whole Schengen area
A Danish visa lets you travel freely across all 27 Schengen countries. Just make sure Denmark is your main destination or your first entry point into the zone.

What happens at the border

Prepare your documents
Gather all required documents: passport, application form, flight booking, hotel confirmation, insurance, bank statements, and visa fee. Make photocopies of everything.
2
Book an appointment
Schedule an appointment at the Danish embassy in Tashkent or the nearest VFS Global center. Slots can fill up weeks ahead, so book early.

Attend the appointment
Show up on time with your documents. You'll submit the application, pay the fee, and give biometrics (fingerprints and photo). The whole thing takes about 15–30 minutes.
4
Wait for processing
Standard processing takes 15 calendar days. It can stretch to 30–45 days if more checks are needed. Don't book non-refundable flights until you have the visa.
5
Collect your passport
You'll get a notification when your passport is ready. Pick it up in person or pay for courier delivery. Check the visa sticker for correct dates and spelling.
6
Enter Denmark
At Copenhagen Airport or any Schengen border, present your passport with the visa sticker. The officer may ask about your trip — answer honestly. Keep your return ticket and accommodation proof handy.
