How much does a Danish Schengen visa cost?
90 euro plus a service fee.
Short answer
As of November 2026, the visa fee for a Danish short-stay visa is normally 90 euro for adults. For children aged 6 to under 12, it is 45 euro. If you apply through a visa application centre, the outsourcing company adds its own service fee, which differs by country. Family members of EU, EEA and Swiss citizens who apply under the EU rules pay no fee.
Why
- Children aged 6 to 11 pay half the adult fee.
- Service fees are set by the visa centre.
- Some applicants are exempt from the fee.
Details
You also need travel insurance with at least 30,000 euro in cover for the whole Schengen area.
Tip
Check the service fee on the website of the visa centre in your country before your appointment.
What may differ
Visa facilitation agreements with some countries can give lower fees.
Common misconception
The 90 euro visa fee is the only cost of applying.
What actually happens
Applying through a visa centre adds a separate service fee on top.
