Do I need a visa for Denmark from Bolivia?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Bolivian nationals need a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) to visit Denmark for tourism. It must be obtained before departure from the competent Danish mission.
Bolivia is not on the Schengen visa-exemption list, so a tourist trip to Denmark requires a Type C Schengen visa obtained in advance. The application is filed in Bolivia or in the applicant's country of residence, at the Danish mission or its external service provider. Allow time, as processing often takes several weeks.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. As a Bolivian citizen you must obtain a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) for tourist travel to Denmark, for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Denmark must be your main destination or your first point of entry into the Schengen area; otherwise the mission of the other country would handle your application.
How and where to apply
Apply at the Danish embassy responsible for Bolivia or at its outsourcing partner (VFS Global or equivalent depending on the country). Denmark frequently delegates the intake of Schengen files to another member state representing it locally. Complete the form, book an appointment, give your biometrics in person and submit the file. The nyidanmark.dk website points you to the competent mission.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Bolivian passport valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned exit from the Schengen area, with at least two blank pages, a compliant photo, a return flight booking, proof of accommodation, evidence of sufficient funds, and travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000. The visa fee is usually €90 for an adult; confirm the amount and the document list on the official portal before you pay.
Processing and tips
A Schengen visa is most often processed within 15 to 45 days, with longer waits during periods of high demand. Submit your file as soon as the permitted window opens (up to 6 months before departure, and no later than 15 days before). Check any applicable health entry requirements and present a consistent file in which flight dates, accommodation and funds all match.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not apply at the wrong post: if Denmark is not your main destination, the file may be refused on jurisdiction grounds. Do not neglect travel insurance: without cover of at least €30,000 the application is rejected. Avoid unconfirmed bookings and insufficient financial evidence, and do not let your passport validity fall below the 3 months required after your return.
