Booking an appointment

Complete the application online at applyvisa.um.dk and pay the fee first, then book a biometrics appointment at the VFS Global Denmark centre in London.

Practical tips

Start on ApplyVisa and pay before booking biometrics - the VFS slot is only useful once the online case exists. Apply at least 15 working days ahead, up to six months in advance.

What is unusual about the Denmark process

Denmark's mission also covers the Faroe Islands and Greenland, which are outside Schengen: a Schengen visa alone does not admit you there, so state clearly if your trip includes them.
