The visa applications presented at the Danish Embassy in Madrid will be evaluated and processed at the Visa Centre of the Danish Embassy in London.
The processing time for visa cases handled in London is currently 40 days, once all required documentation has been submitted.
We are aware of the inconvenience this may cause, but assure that London is working hard to bring down processing time for all applications. Business applications and applicants eligible to apply under the EU-rules are prioritised. In cases where processing requires further enquiries or submission to the Danish Immigration Service (e.g., countries in Main Group 4 or 5, or residence cards under renewal), the maximum processing time is up to 45 calendar days. The case processing time is calculated from the day the Embassy in London register the application in the visa system. It is not calculated from the time you apply online or submit the application at the Embassy in Madrid.
Please make sure you book an appointment to submit your application as soon as possible by sending an e-mail to [email protected] .
The online application fee must be paid through the following link: https://applyvisa.um.dk/ before attending the Embassy.
For visa application in regard to round-trip bookings, it is a requirement to show sufficient funds to purchase a return ticket. The Danish Mission recommends that you do not buy a plane ticket before your visa has been approved.
