Do I need a visa for Denmark from Algeria?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Algerian nationals need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to travel to Denmark. This visa allows a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the Schengen area.
For tourism or family travel to Denmark, travellers from Algeria must obtain a Schengen visa before departure. You apply at the Danish mission or its outsourcing partner (often VFS Global) in Algeria. The fee is typically €90 for an adult and processing usually takes 15–45 days; always confirm with nyidanmark.dk.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Algeria is not on the list of countries exempt from the Schengen visa. Algerian passport holders must therefore apply for a Type C short-stay visa for Denmark, valid for tourism, family visits or business, up to 90 days within any 180-day window.
How and where to apply
Denmark must be your main destination. Complete the application form, then book an appointment with the Danish Embassy or its partner visa application centre (usually VFS Global) in Algeria, in Algiers, to submit your file and biometrics. The Danish Immigration Service decides the application.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid passport, a recent photo, travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000, proof of accommodation, a return itinerary and evidence of sufficient funds (bank statements, employment). The visa fee is typically €90 for an adult. Confirm the amount and the exact list on nyidanmark.dk before you apply.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15–45 days, longer in peak season. Apply up to six months before departure, and at least three weeks ahead. In Algiers, VFS slots can be limited, so book early. A complete file with strong proof of funds and clear ties to Algeria lowers the risk of refusal.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not apply if Denmark is not your main destination. Avoid insurance below €30,000, a passport valid for less than three months beyond your return, or unconfirmed bookings. Never assume the fee or the timeline: only the official source nyidanmark.dk is authoritative.
