Overview
A residence permit is necessary for those wishing to stay in Denmark for more than 90 days
The Embassy of Denmark handles applications for residence permits for Denmark.
The application should be submitted in the applicant’s country of usual residence or home country. However, if this is not possible, and the applicant is staying legally in Malaysia, the application may be submitted at the Denmark Visa Application Center in Kuala Lumpur (Address: 3F West Block, Wisma Golden Eagle Realty, 142-A, Jalan Ampang, Kampung Baru, 50450 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) by appointment only.
VFS Kuala Lumpur's contact details can be found here
For Denmark, a processing fee will normally need to be prepaid when a foreign national applies for a residence permit, an extension of a residence permit and for a permanent residence permit in the areas of family reunification, studies and work.
See the current rates to be paid to New to Denmark before handing in the application at the Visa Application Center.

Photo Specifications
NEW RULE FOR SIZE OF PHOTOGRAPH FOR VISA APPLICATIONS
After the Embassy has installed a new system for scanning biometrics, including photographs for visa applications, it is now only possible to lodge a photograph of size 35 x 45 mm. Length of the head should not exceed 30 to 36 mm in length from chin to top of hair.
The photograph must still be in color with bright background.
Denmark Visa Application Centre has been instructed by The Royal Danish Embassy to inform applicants that the visa application is not acceptable if the photograph does not comply with the above format.
Applicants may therefore obtain a new photograph that meets all requirements before The Denmark Visa Application Centre can receive the application.
