Do I need a visa for Denmark from Myanmar?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Myanmar nationals must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to travel to Denmark. As Denmark is part of the Schengen Area, the visa also allows movement within the other countries of the area.
Myanmar is not among the countries exempt from the Schengen visa, so a Myanmar traveller must apply before departing for Denmark. The tourist visa allows a stay of up to 90 days per 180-day period. The process must be arranged in advance and there is no visa on arrival.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A citizen of Myanmar is subject to the Schengen Type C visa for a tourist stay in Denmark. When Denmark is the main destination or the first point of entry into the Schengen Area, the Danish authorities assess the application. The visa does not cover a long-term stay, which requires a separate permit.
How and where to apply
Because Denmark may not maintain a mission in Myanmar, the application usually goes through a Danish embassy or a Schengen country representing Denmark in the region, or through the partner centre (VFS Global) competent for Myanmar applicants. The form comes with an appointment booking and an in-person visit for biometrics. Check the competent post on nyidanmark.dk.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least three months beyond your planned exit and less than ten years old, the application form, a compliant photo, a return ticket, proof of accommodation, evidence of funds, and travel medical insurance covering at least EUR 30,000. The fee is normally EUR 90 for an adult, excluding service charges. Confirm the exact amount on nyidanmark.dk.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days, sometimes longer if the file is forwarded via a representing country. Apply up to six months before departure, but no less than 15 days before. A precise itinerary, proof of ties to Myanmar and clear financial statements are decisive. Keep a full copy of the file.
Common mistakes
Refusals often stem from inadequate insurance, poorly documented funds, a passport close to expiry, or filing with the wrong Schengen state when Denmark was not the main destination. Also allow for delays linked to consular representation and check health entry requirements.
