The European Union’s Entry/Exit System (EES) will be fully operational from 10 April onwards, following its progressive start of operations on 12 October 2025. The EES is an automated IT-system for registering non-EU nationals travelling for a short stay, each time they cross the external borders of Schengen. Further information on the EES can be found here.

The processing time in visa cases is currently up to 15 days. Some applications may be submitted to the Danish Immigration Service (DIS). In those cases, processing time may be longer.

The Danish Mission recommends that you do not buy a plane ticket before your visa has been approved.
