Discover visa requirements for your trip
Thai citizens need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Denmark for tourism. It must be obtained before departure; there is no visa on arrival.
Denmark is part of the Schengen Area, so a Thai traveller must secure a uniform Type C visa allowing a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Applications are lodged in Thailand with the competent Danish mission, usually the Royal Danish Embassy in Bangkok or its visa application centre. Denmark must be your main destination or first point of entry.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Thai nationals have no visa exemption for the Schengen Area and must obtain a short-stay Type C visa before travelling to Denmark. The visa covers tourism, family visits and short business trips, up to 90 days within a 180-day period.
How and where to apply
Apply in Thailand at the Royal Danish Embassy in Bangkok or its authorised visa application centre. You will need to book an appointment, complete the Schengen application form and attend in person to give biometric fingerprints. Denmark must be your primary destination; if you visit several Schengen states, apply to the country where you will stay longest.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Thai passport valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure, the signed form, a recent photo, a return flight booking, proof of accommodation in Denmark, evidence of sufficient funds and travel medical insurance covering at least EUR 30,000. The visa fee is typically EUR 90 for an adult; confirm the exact amount on the official website.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days, so file your application well ahead and up to six months before travel. Make sure your insurance is valid across the whole Schengen Area and that your itinerary matches the dates requested. Keep copies of every document and of the payment receipt.
Common mistakes
Refusals often stem from inadequate insurance, weak proof of funds, or applying to the wrong country when Denmark is not the main destination. Do not book non-refundable tickets before the visa is granted, and avoid documents that contradict your stated itinerary.
