Denmark visa for Indian 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 2 missions in India, with its embassy in New Delhi. Consulates: Bengaluru.

In 2025, Denmark’s embassy and consulates in India (New Delhi) received 17,038 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 15,451. 7.1% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 8.5%. Applications rose by 3% compared with 2024 (16,597).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 15.8% of the applications lodged in India that year. Denmark’s consulates worldwide refused 21.9%. Denmark was the 14th most applied-for Schengen state in India.

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

Indian 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).
