The Embassy’s processing time in visa cases is currently 25 days.
In cases where processing requires further enquiries or submission to the Danish Immigration Service, the maximum processing time is up to 45 calendar days.
The case processing time is calculated from the day the Danish Embassy in London registers the application in the visa system.
Please make sure to book an appointment to submit your application as soon as possible. You can book the appointment here.
Please find information about the visa application procedure here.
Please note, that the visa rules for visiting Greenland and the Faroe Islands changed in March 2026:
If you are a third-country national and have a residence permit in Denmark or another Schengen country, you can travel to the Faroe Islands and Greenland on the basis of your residence permit up to 90 days out of a 180 day period without a visa.
If your Dutch Residence card has the Document type I-V you are included in the new rule. If your document type is not I-V you are welcome to send the Embassy a copy of your card and we can guide you.

Remember that you need both your Dutch Residence card and your passport in order to travel.
