Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark Denmark in Serbia

The Embassy’s processing time in visa cases is currently 30 days, when all required documentation has been provided as per the relevant checklist.

We are aware of the inconvenience this may cause, but assure that we are working hard to bring down processing time for all applications. Business applications and applicants eligible to apply under the EU-rules are prioritised. In cases where processing requires further enquiries or submission to the Danish Immigration Service, the maximum processing time is 45 calendar days.

The case processing time is calculated from the day the Embassy registers the application in the visa system, not from the time you apply online or submit the application at a VFS Global centre.

All applicants for a Schengen visa for Denmark must book an appointment with VFS Globalto submit their application. Walk-ins are no longer possible in visa cases. Please be aware that you must complete the online application process including payment of the visa fee at Apply Visa before you can book an appointment with VFS. Please allow up to 24 hours after completing the online application process before you book an appointment with VFS. Kindly contact VFS if you need assistance to book an appointment.

The Embassy recommends that you do not buy plane tickets or accommodation before you know if your visa has been approved.
