Applicants need to appear in person at VFS when applying for a Schengen visa because of the introduction of a biometric data collection system. With this system, the applicant's fingerprints and photograph will be taken when a person applies for a visa.
Before the recording of the photo, applicants may be asked to remove glasses or adjust head coverings, if these hide the person's facial features.

For visa applications where the Embassy can make a decision, the expected processing time for business trips, tourism and family visits is 12- 15 days. For visa applications where the Embassy cannot make a decision and the decision will be made by the Danish Immigration Service, the expected processing time for business trips, tourism and family visits is 12 - 15 days plus the processing time at the Danish Immigration Service in Copenhagen.

The Embassy is closed on public holidays.
