Do I need a visa for Denmark from Nepal?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Nepalese nationals need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Denmark. The standard fee is €90 for an adult.
Denmark is part of the Schengen area, so a Nepalese passport holder cannot travel there for tourism without a Type C visa issued in advance. The process is run by the Danish immigration authorities (nyidanmark) and is lodged with the competent mission or its external partner covering Nepal. Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A Nepalese citizen is not visa-exempt and must obtain a Schengen short-stay visa to enter Denmark, for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Denmark must be your main destination or first point of entry for its mission to handle the application.
How and where to apply
The Nepalese applicant completes the Danish visa form, then books an appointment with the competent Danish mission or its partner centre (VFS Global) serving Nepal, since Denmark does not always run a visa section locally. The file and biometrics (fingerprints and photo) are submitted at the appointment.
Documents and fees
Gather a valid passport, the signed form, Schengen-standard photos, a return flight booking, proof of accommodation, bank statements and travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000 across the Schengen area. The visa fee is generally €90 for an adult, excluding the partner centre's service charge.
Processing and tips
Processing normally takes 15 to 45 days; apply at least three to four weeks before departure, and earlier in peak season. A consistent itinerary and solid financial evidence make the decision smoother. Do not buy non-refundable tickets until the visa is granted.
Common mistakes
Applying to Denmark when the main stay is really in another Schengen country often leads to refusal. Insufficient insurance, barely adequate funds, or poorly documented accommodation weaken the file, as do dates that do not match between the flight, the hotel and the form.
