Representation agreements
In some countries Denmark does not have a diplomatic mission (embassy or consulate general), or the Danish diplomatic mission does not have a visa division and therefore cannot issue visas.
In these countries Denmark normally has an agreement with another Schengen country whose diplomatic mission will then process visa applications for Denmark.
The advantage for you as an applicant is that you can apply for a visa to Denmark even in countries where there is no Danish diplomatic mission, or where the Danish diplomatic mission has no visa division.
Applications submitted at another country's diplomatic mission
Applications submitted at another country's diplomatic mission which processes visa applications on Denmark’s behalf will initially be processed based on that country’s visa regulations.
If the diplomatic mission cannot issue a visa in accordance with its country's visa regulations, your application will be forwarded to the Immigration Service in Denmark, which will then process your application in accordance with Danish visa regulations. It can take some time for your application to reach the Immigration Service in Denmark. However, you will not need to re-submit an application at a Danish diplomatic mission in another country.
In some cases, you may be required to bring other documentation than would be the case at a Danish diplomatic mission. You are advised to contact the mission in advance to learn about documentation requirements and about any waiting time.
Also note that if the visa application is submitted at another country's diplomatic mission, you can only use the online invitation form to a limited extent. Even if the host in Denmark is able to submit the online invitation form, the foreign diplomatic missions cannot see the invitation in their case processing systems as they do not have access to the systems of the Danish authorities. Consequently, the host in Denmark will have to download a PDF version of the completed invitation on My Page, print it, sign it by hand and send it the visa applicant, who can then bring it to the foreign diplomatic mission.
You can find a list of the countries where Denmark is represented by another Schengen country on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
