Do Indonesia passport holders need a visa to visit DK?

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Denmark for tourism. There is no visa-free, visa-on-arrival, or ETIAS option for Indonesian citizens. Denmark is a member of the Schengen Area, and Indonesia is not on the EU visa-exempt list. As a result, Indonesian ordinary passport holders must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa before travelling to Denmark for tourism. Applications are submitted through the VFS Global Denmark Visa Application Centre in Indonesia (Jakarta), on behalf of the Royal Danish Embassy. A Schengen visa allows a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the entire Schengen Area, not just Denmark. The standard visa fee is EUR 90 for adults, plus a VFS service fee of about IDR 383,000 (~EUR 19). Processing normally takes up to 15 calendar days but can be longer in peak season (April-August) or if the case is referred to the Danish Immigration Service. Required documents include a passport valid at least 3 months beyond the intended stay, travel medical insurance covering at least EUR 30,000 across Schengen, proof of accommodation, return flight bookings, and proof of sufficient funds. ETIAS (expected late 2026) does NOT apply to Indonesian nationals because it is only for visa-exempt travellers; Indonesians will continue to need a full Schengen visa. Always confirm requirements on the official VFS Global site before applying.

Indonesian ordinary passport holders are required to hold a Schengen visa for any short stay in the Schengen Area, including Denmark.
High
/02
Denmark is a Schengen member state
Entry and stay are governed by common Schengen short-stay rules (90/180), so a single Type C visa covers all Schengen countries.
High
/03
ETIAS does not apply to Indonesians
ETIAS (expected late 2026) is only for visa-exempt nationals; Indonesians must still obtain a full Schengen visa, not an ETIAS authorization.
