Discover visa requirements for your trip
Kazakhstani citizens need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Denmark as tourists. It must be obtained before departure.
Denmark is part of the Schengen Area and Kazakhstan is not on the visa-exempt list, so a Kazakhstani traveller must apply for a Type C tourist visa in advance. The visa allows a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the entire Schengen Area.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A Kazakhstani passport holder must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Denmark. Denmark must be your main destination (where you spend the most nights) or your first point of entry into Schengen for the Danish authorities to handle your application. The visa permits up to 90 days in any 180-day window.
How and where to apply
Applications are lodged with the Danish consulate or its authorised visa outsourcing partner (VFS Global, BLS or TLScontact) in Kazakhstan. You will normally book an appointment, complete the Schengen application form, attend in person for biometrics (fingerprints and photo) and submit your file. Check nyidanmark.dk to confirm which centre serves your region of residence.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid passport (at least three months beyond your intended departure and two blank pages), a recent photo, a return flight reservation, proof of accommodation, evidence of sufficient funds and travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000. The visa fee is typically €90 for an adult. Confirm the exact amount and full checklist with the official source.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days. Apply no earlier than six months before travel and no later than 15 days before. Book your appointment early, as slots fill up quickly in peak season. A coherent itinerary and clear proof of funds strengthen your application.
Common mistakes
Refusals often stem from inadequate insurance, unconfirmed bookings, a passport with too little validity, or applying to the wrong Schengen country. Do not apply for a Danish visa if you will actually spend more time in another Schengen state. Always verify current requirements on nyidanmark.dk before you travel.
