Denmark visa for Pakistani 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.

In 2025, Denmark’s embassy and consulates in Pakistan (Islamabad) received 5,539 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,173. 78.7% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 78.6%. Applications rose by 40% compared with 2024 (3,963).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 45.9% of the applications lodged in Pakistan that year. Denmark’s consulates worldwide refused 21.9%. Denmark was the 6th most applied-for Schengen state in Pakistan.

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

Before travelling from Pakistan to Denmark, it helps to know the official travel advice: 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.

How long Pakistani citizens can stay in Denmark

How long Pakistani citizens may stay in Denmark is set by the visa issued, and the visa type must match the purpose of the trip.

How Pakistani citizens apply

Denmark has no embassy or career consulate in Pakistan. Pakistani citizens apply through a mission of Denmark accredited to Pakistan from abroad, or through another Schengen state that represents Denmark for visas; the official visa portal of Denmark names the right place.
