A tourist visa is a temporary permit that allows a person to visit a country for tourist purposes for a limited period of time. Citizens from certain countries are required to have a visa to Denmark, and it is therefore required to apply for a tourist visa before the journey starts.

First of all, you need to identify whether you need a visa to travel to Denmark as a tourist. Citizens from certain countries are exempt from the visa requirement for a certain period. You can check this on the website of the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, contact the Danish embassy, consulate or a Danish representation in your home country.

Some applicants may be asked to attend a personal interview at the embassy or consulate as part of processing their visa application. After we have recieved your application, it will be processed by the relevant authorities and you will be notified of the outcome of your application.

If your visa application is approved, you will get a visa sticker in your passport and you can plan your trip to Denmark.

It is important to note that the above-mentioned process is general and that there may be additional requirements or procedures depending on your individual situation and the policy of the Danish embassy or consulate.

We can help you apply and handle the correspondence with the immigration authorities.
