Denmark visa for Egyptian citizens

Denmark’s tourist visa costs €90 at the standard rate published by its authorities; the official site for it is 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 Egypt, with its embassy in Cairo.

In 2025, Denmark’s embassy and consulates in Egypt (Cairo) received 2,040 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,343. The refusal rate was 31.2%. The refusal rate fell by 11.4 points from 42.6% in 2024, a clear improvement for applicants. Applications rose by 34% compared with 2024 (1,524).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 24.2% of the applications lodged in Egypt that year, from 4.4% at the consulates of Romania to 50.9% at those of Sweden. Denmark’s consulates worldwide refused 21.9%. Denmark was the 16th most applied-for Schengen state in Egypt.

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 Egypt, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

Egyptian 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).
