Denmark Visa information - South Africa

A visa application can be submitted only by the Applicant in person only.

Processed applications can also be returned by Special Delivery at an additional cost.
If you are not sure whether you require a visa to visit a particular Schengen country, please call that country's embassy. The issue of Schengen visas is discretionary and depends on examination of each individual case, including purpose of visit and intention to return.

A Schengen visa is not appropriate if you wish to remain in a Schengen country for longer than 3 months or take up employment or establish a business, trade or profession.

If you have not visited the Schengen area previously, a visa is normally issued for one entry. Once you have made one visit in accordance with the visa granted you may apply for two or more entries provided you can provide the documentation for these visits.

Visa applications can only be submitted in person with a prior appointment at the address below.
