Visa for Denmark from Cambodia: price, documents and processing time 2026

Yes. For a tourist trip to Denmark, citizens of Cambodia fall under the Schengen short-stay visa regime. You apply for a uniform Type C visa, valid across the whole Schengen area but lodged with the country where you will spend the most nights, Denmark in this case. A valid passport alone is not enough: the visa must be approved before you board.

The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.

• Government fee90 EUR

  Schengen scale: €90 for an adult, €45 for a child aged 6 to 11, free below 6. Some facilitation agreements set a lower rate, the consulate confirms which applies to you.

• Application centre feeCapped at €45

  The Visa Code caps an external provider’s service fee at half the visa fee. It is charged on top, and it is not refunded either.

• Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top

  Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.

• ExtrasVariable

  Courier return, SMS tracking, compliant photo, insurance, sworn translation or legalisation, depending on what the post requires.

We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.

A standard file includes: a passport valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure, a recent passport photo, a return flight reservation, proof of accommodation, evidence of sufficient funds, and travel medical insurance covering at least EUR 30,000 across the Schengen area. The visa fee for an adult is normally EUR 90, payable when you submit; the service provider may add a handling charge. Confirm the exact amount on the official portal.

Because Denmark does not always run a dedicated consular section in Cambodia, applications filed in Phnom Penh are usually handled by the competent Danish representation or by its external service provider (VFS Global). You complete the Schengen application form, book an appointment to give biometric data (photo and fingerprints), then submit the file in person. Check nyidanmark.dk to see which mission or centre covers your place of residence.

• Your application goes to the state that is your main destination. If Denmark is where you spend the longest, it handles the file, whatever the entry point.
• With no main destination, the competent state is the one you enter first.
• If Denmark has no consulate in Cambodia, another Schengen state may act on its behalf under a representation arrangement, or the file goes to the post accredited for your country.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Cambodia, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Cambodia but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing generally takes 15 to 45 days; apply no earlier than six months before departure and no later than 15 days before. A coherent itinerary and clear financial proof reduce the chance of being asked for extra documents. In peak season, biometric appointment slots fill quickly, so book yours early.

Refusals often stem from missing or inadequate travel insurance, a passport with too little remaining validity, financial evidence judged insufficient, or applying to the wrong country when Denmark is not the main destination. Do not buy non-refundable tickets until the visa is granted.
