Short Term Stay

(For a maximum stay of 90 days per 180 day period)

If you wish to visit Denmark, Norway, Finland & Iceland for a short period of time, you must obtain a visa prior to entry if you come from a country with a visa requirement for entering these countries.

A short-stay Schengen visa allows the holder to transit through or remain in Schengen countries for a maximum period of three months (90 days) within any period of 180 days.

Visiting more than one Schengen country?

You will have to obtain the Schengen visa from the country where the main purpose of travel lies.

When travelling to more than one Schengen country, submit your application with the country where you will be staying the longest. In case of equally long stays, you have to apply with the Schengen country where you arrive first.

Also travelling to a non-Schengen country?

When also travelling to another country outside the Schengen area (for example the United Kingdom and/or the United States), we suggest to apply for the other visa first, before applying for the Schengen visa.
