13 October 2022 – Important information from the Danish Embassy regarding processing time for visa applications:

“Due to an unusually high volume of visa applications, the processing time is currently longer than usual. The processing time is therefore 25 days from the day of deposit at VFS Global. We strive to reduce processing time and regret any inconvenience caused by the longer processing time. There may be less appointment availability at VFS Global.

Right now the time schedule slot is complete, and we only take visa applications in from 31/10.”

 

More information on how to apply for a visa for other citizens as well as general information is found on Swedish Migration Agency.
