Visa overview
Description of the visa, its purpose, conditions, peculiarities of issuance, and guidelines for utilization.
Issued to employee or business traveler visiting Denmark for short business-related activities, such as meetings, conferences, contract negotiations, or site visits with Danish companies. Certain limited work-like activities are allowed on a business visa without a work permit (e.g. attending meetings, receiving training) as long as no productive employment in Denmark occurs.
The primary characteristics that define the conditions for obtaining and using a visa. These conditions may vary depending on the individual circumstances of the applicant and the decision of the immigration authorities of the country.
from 1 day to 5 years
Validity period
The period during which the visa remains valid and can be used for entry into the country. The validity period or expiration date is indicated directly on the visa itself.
The consular authorities make a decision on the visa validity period based on the documentary evidence provided by the applicant, and it does not directly depend on the applicant. - The first Schengen visa is usually issued for up to 6 months considering the individual situation of the applicant, the requested duration, the specific purpose of the visit, and documentary evidence. - 2-year multiple visa may be issued to an applicant who has held and used at least two Schengen visas for up to 6 months during the previous two years, provided that visa requirements are met - 5-year multiple visa may be issued to an applicant who has previously had a visa for 2 years and used it in full compliance with the rules.
3 months
Length of stay
The maximum duration for which one is permitted to stay in the country continuously from the date of entry.
The stay period for a specific visa is determined by the consulate depending on the individual situation of the applicant and documentary evidence of the purpose of the visit. The maximum permitted stay is up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Each day of stay is counted as part of all the previous 180 days starting from the current date. During this 180 day period, the total duration of stay must not exceed 90, regardless of the number of entries. For example, after entering the Schengen area and staying continuously for 90 day, the next entry can't be made earlier than 90 days later. It doesn't matter whether the visa free regime or a Schengen visa is used for entry - the rule applies to the person and not to specific visas or visa free regimes.
6 months
Extension of stay
The extension of the maximum duration of stay in the country initially permitted by the visa, subject to approval by the immigration authorities. This is typically processed within the country without the need for departure.
Extensions are granted only under exceptional circumstances, such as unforeseen events preventing departure.

Number of entries
A parameter specifying the number of times the visa holder can enter the country during its validity period. Visas can be single-entry, multiple-entry, or with a specified number of entries.
The applicant specifies the required number of entries on the visa application; however, consulates make a decision, which may vary depending on provided documentary evidence and other factors. Visa may be issued for single or multiple entries.
from 15 days to 1 month 15 days
Processing time
The period during which the immigration authorities review the application and make a decision regarding the issuance of the visa. Only business days are counted, excluding weekends and public holidays.
