Denmark Business Visa Guide for Indian Corporate Travelers
Everything You Need To Know - Indian Passport Holders
Denmark is recognized globally for its innovation-driven economy, high-quality infrastructure, and sustainable business ecosystem. As a key Nordic gateway to Europe, it attracts Indian companies and professionals across industries such as pharmaceuticals, renewable energy, shipping, biotechnology, and IT services.
Indian business travelers frequently visit Copenhagen, Aarhus, and Odense to attend trade exhibitions, client meetings, and technology collaborations. Since Denmark is part of the Schengen Area, Indian citizens must obtain a Schengen Business Visa (Type C) to enter Denmark for short-term business activities.
The process involves online application registration, document preparation, and submission via VFS Global centers across India, which coordinate directly with the Royal Danish Embassy in New Delhi.
BTW Visa Services simplifies this process by assisting with document accuracy, appointment booking, and real-time application tracking — ensuring a professional and compliant visa submission every time.

Who Needs a Business Visa?
Indian nationals visiting Denmark for short-term business purposes — including trade fairs, conferences, negotiations, or project meetings — must apply for a Schengen Business Visa (Type C).
This visa is intended for non-remunerative business visits only, meaning travelers cannot work for or receive payment from a Danish company while on this visa.
Travelers who already hold a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa issued by another member state can use it to enter Denmark, provided their visa covers the intended duration.
BTW Visa Tip: Clearly indicate “Business” as your purpose of travel while filling the form. The Danish Embassy is strict about classification, and incorrect category selection often results in re-application requests.

Tips for Smooth Visa Approval
Always ensure your invitation letter is issued by a registered Danish company with its CVR number, seal, and authorized signatory details.
Provide clear justification of your business intent in both the invitation and cover letter — the Danish Embassy closely examines purpose consistency.
Include comprehensive financial proof (company + personal statements) to reflect financial stability.
Match your travel itinerary with hotel and flight reservations; conflicting dates may delay approval.
Purchase a Schengen-compliant travel insurance policy covering all member states.
Do not book non-refundable flights or accommodations until visa approval.
Apply at least 3–4 weeks before your travel date to accommodate embassy verification and peak season delays.
Retain previous Schengen visa copies — they support credibility for longer-validity approvals.
