A Schengen visa is only intended to allow a foreign national to visit Denmark and/or the other Schengen countries for a limited period of time. A Schengen visa is strictly a visitor's visa and does not give the holder the right to reside or work in Denmark or any other Schengen country.

The issuance of a Schengen visa is discretionary and depends on examination of each individual application, including purpose of visit and intention to return to country of residence.

Mere possession of a visa does not confer an automatic right of entry into the Schengen region. Holders of a visa can at all times be requested to present proof that they fulfil the entry conditions at the external border, as provided for in Article 5 of the Schengen Borders Code.

Schengen countries
