Discover visa requirements for your trip
Indonesian nationals need a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) to visit Denmark. It is a consular visa that must be obtained before departure.
Indonesia is not on the Schengen visa-exemption list. An Indonesian traveller who wants to visit Denmark — Copenhagen, Aarhus or the Baltic coast — for tourism, a family visit or a short business trip must apply for a Type C Schengen visa. It allows a stay of up to 90 days in any 180-day period across the whole Schengen area.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. As an Indonesian passport holder you must obtain a Schengen short-stay visa before travelling to Denmark; there is no visa waiver or electronic authorisation for Indonesians. The visa covers tourism, visiting family or friends, and short business trips.
How and where to apply
Indonesian applicants lodge their file with the Danish Embassy or its outsourcing partner (VFS Global) in Jakarta. Denmark must be your main destination — the country where you spend the most nights or your point of entry into the Schengen area. First create your application through the nyidanmark portal, then book an appointment for the biometric enrolment.
Documents and fees
The standard file includes the completed Schengen form, a valid passport, compliant photos, a round-trip flight reservation, proof of accommodation, evidence of funds, and travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000. The visa fee is generally €90 for an adult; the service provider may add a service charge. Confirm the exact amounts on the official nyidanmark portal.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days; apply as early as possible and at least fifteen days before departure. A complete, consistent file (dates, accommodation, funds) speeds up the decision. Keep the originals of your insurance and reservations for the appointment day.
Common mistakes
Do not name Denmark as your main destination if you will actually spend more time in another Schengen country: the application must go to the correct state. Avoid submitting insufficient insurance (below €30,000) or unconfirmed reservations, and check that your passport stays valid for at least three months beyond your planned exit date.
