Denmark Visitor Visa (Family & Friends Visit)
The Denmark Visitor Visa for a Family & Friends Visit is a Schengen short-stay Category C visa issued to foreign nationals travelling to Denmark specifically to visit relatives or friends. As Denmark is part of the Schengen area, the visa permits a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the Schengen area, provided Denmark is the applicant’s main destination. Applications are submitted through the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ online visa platform or the relevant Danish Diplomatic Mission or Visa Centre. Family members of EU/EEA nationals may be exempt from the visa fee under specific conditions. As with all Denmark visa categories, the decision to approve a Visitor Visa (Family & Friends Visit) application rests solely with the Danish authorities, based on the documentation submitted.

Denmark Visa Processing Time
Denmark processes Visitor Visa applications for family and friends visits under the standard Visa Code timelines. Standard processing is typically completed within 15 calendar days of a complete application, though this can extend up to 30 days, and in individual cases requiring further scrutiny, up to 45 days. Processing speed depends on the completeness of the invitation and supporting documents, verification of the host’s status in Denmark, and application volumes at the relevant Mission or Visa Centre. Applicants are advised to submit their application well ahead of the intended travel date and to avoid booking non-refundable travel until the visa decision is confirmed.
