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.
Applications submitted at foreign diplomatic mission
Applications submitted at a foreign embassy or consulate that processes visa applications on Denmark’s behalf will initially be evaluated based on that country’s immigration laws.
If the diplomatic mission of the foreign country cannot issue a visa in accordance with their national regulations, your application will be forwarded to the Immigration Service in Denmark, who will then process your application in accordance with Danish regulations. It can take some time for the application to reach the Immigration Service in Denmark. However, applicants will not need to re-submit an application at a Danish embassy or consulate 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 about your application.
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.
