Denmark visa for Bangladeshi citizens

For the tourist visa, Denmark’s official sources give a standard fee of €90, and applications are made on applyvisa.um.dk. Processing time, as Denmark states it: Up to 15 days once the mission has registered the case, or up to 45 days if it is referred to the Danish Immigration Service; waiting times at individual missions can be much longer. Longest stay on the tourist visa: Up to 90 days in any 180-day period in the Schengen Area.

Denmark has 1 mission in Bangladesh, with its embassy in Dhaka.

In 2025, Denmark’s embassy and consulates in Bangladesh (Dhaka) received 2,451 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,548. The refusal rate was 35.9%. The refusal rate rose by 7.1 points from 28.8% in 2024, a sharp increase. Applications rose by 32% compared with 2024 (1,859).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 54.5% of the applications lodged in Bangladesh that year, from 27.8% at the consulates of Switzerland to 74.5% at those of Sweden. Denmark’s consulates worldwide refused 21.9%. Denmark was the 6th most applied-for Schengen state in Bangladesh.

You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Bangladesh, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

Bangladeshi citizens planning a trip to Denmark can compare how foreign ministries rate it: the US State Department rates Denmark at Level 2, exercise increased caution (updated 16 September 2024), the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not advise against travel to Denmark (updated 11 August 2026) and the German Foreign Office has no travel warning for Denmark (updated 13 October 2026). The advice is aimed at each government’s own nationals.
