Do I need a visa for Denmark from Sudan?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Sudanese citizens need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to travel to Denmark. There is no waiver and no visa on arrival.
Sudan is not on the Schengen visa-exemption list. A Sudanese citizen wishing to visit Copenhagen or another Danish region must obtain a uniform visa before departure. It allows a stay of up to 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen area.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Sudan is not exempt, so a Type C Schengen visa is mandatory for a tourist stay of up to 90 days. Denmark must be your main destination or first point of entry into Schengen for its authorities to process your application.
How and where to apply
Because Denmark does not always run a visa section in Sudan, applications frequently go through a mission representing Denmark or an outsourcing partner (VFS Global). Prepare the file, book an appointment, give your fingerprints and submit the documents. Confirm the exact channel on nyidanmark.dk.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid at least three months beyond your planned exit, the Danish application form, recent photos, proof of accommodation and funds, a return ticket and travel medical insurance of at least €30,000. The visa fee is usually €90 for an adult.
Processing and tips
Processing generally takes 15 to 45 days, sometimes longer depending on checks; lodge well ahead, between six months and 15 days before departure. Coherent, complete documents reduce follow-up requests. Check the posted timeframe before finalising bookings.
Common mistakes
Refusals often come from missing insurance, insufficient financial evidence, or filing with the wrong representing country. Don't buy firm tickets before the grant and make sure your passport is valid.
