Do I need a visa for Denmark from Bangladesh?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Yes, Bangladeshi citizens need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa for a tourist trip to Denmark. The adult fee is generally EUR 90.
Bangladesh is not exempt from the Schengen visa. A Bangladeshi traveller must therefore obtain the visa before departure, with Denmark as the main destination of the trip. The application is lodged in Dhaka at the Danish mission or its partner visa centre.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Nationals of Bangladesh must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa for a tourist stay of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Denmark must be your main destination; if another Schengen country accounts for most of your stay, apply through that country.
How and where to apply
The application is lodged at the Embassy of Denmark or its service provider (often VFS Global) in Dhaka. Complete the Schengen form, book an appointment and attend in person to give fingerprints and a photo. Slots fill up quickly, so book early.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid passport, a photo, travel medical insurance of at least EUR 30,000, proof of accommodation, a return ticket and evidence of funds. The visa fee is generally EUR 90 for an adult and less for children; confirm the exact amount and any service fees with the centre.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days and can extend during peak season. Submit at the earliest six months before departure and at least 15 days ahead. Only book firm flights after the visa has been granted.
Common mistakes
Choosing Denmark when another Schengen country is the real main destination is a frequent cause of refusal. Skimping on the EUR 30,000 insurance or providing weak proof of funds hurts the application. Finally, check any entry requirements based on your itinerary.
