Do I need a visa for Denmark from Belarus?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Belarusian citizens need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa for a tourist trip to Denmark. The fee is typically €90 and processing takes 15 to 45 days.
Because Denmark is part of the Schengen area, a Belarusian national must obtain a uniform Type C visa before departure. This visa allows a tourist stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. The application is filed where Denmark is the main destination or the first point of entry for the trip.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Belarus is not visa-exempt for the Schengen area; a short-stay (Type C) visa is required to visit Denmark. You must apply through Denmark when it is the main destination (longest stay) or, failing that, when it is your first country of entry into Schengen.
How and where to apply
The Belarusian traveller lodges the application at the Danish consulate or its authorised outsourcing partner (VFS Global, BLS or TLScontact) in the country of residence. Booking the appointment, capturing biometrics and submitting the file are all done in person. The New to Denmark portal explains the procedure and the competent centre.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid passport, the Schengen form, a recent photo, accommodation and return-flight bookings, proof of sufficient funds and travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000. The visa fee is generally €90 for an adult, payable at submission; confirm the exact amount on the official source.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days; apply at the earliest six months before travel and at least 15 days ahead. A consistent file (dates, accommodation, funds) and compliant insurance reduce the risk of refusal. Do not book non-refundable tickets until the visa has been issued.
Common mistakes
A classic error is applying to the wrong Schengen country — it must be Denmark if that is your main destination. Other pitfalls: insurance below €30,000, weak financial evidence, a passport that is too old, or overstaying the 90-day allowance. Check each requirement on New to Denmark before the appointment.
