Türkiye to Denmark visa requirements

Yes, a visa is required. Holders of a Turkish ORDINARY passport must obtain a Schengen short-stay (type C) visa before traveling to Denmark for tourism. Only Turkish special (green), service, and diplomatic passport holders are visa-exempt. ETIAS does not apply to Turkish nationals; they continue to need a full Schengen visa. Denmark is a member of the Schengen Area, and Turkish ordinary passport holders are not on the EU's visa-free (Annex II) list. As of June 2026, a Turkish citizen traveling on an ordinary passport must apply for a Schengen short-stay visa (type C) before departure. Applications for Denmark from Turkey are handled by the Royal Danish Embassy in Ankara through VFS Global visa application centres. The visa allows a maximum stay of 90 days within any 180-day period across the entire Schengen Area. Note that ETIAS (the EU travel authorisation expected to go live in late 2026) does NOT replace this requirement for Turkish nationals: ETIAS only covers travelers from visa-exempt countries, and Turkey is not on that list. Turkish nationals therefore continue to apply for a traditional Schengen visa. The standard fee is EUR 90 for adults, though a reduced EUR 35 fee can apply to certain Turkish nationals under EU case law (Soysal/Demirkan standstill clause) in specific service-provision situations; for ordinary tourism the EUR 90 fee applies, plus a VFS service charge. Travelers should apply well in advance: the Danish Embassy in Ankara reports a significant backlog, processing applications submitted around March 2026, so appointment availability and turnaround can be considerably longer than the nominal 15 days.
