Visa

If you are a South African citizen and wish to travel to Denmark or Iceland for 90 days or less, you need a visa no matter whether you want to go for business, tourism, cultural reasons or just to visit family and friends.


Please note!

Due to the current high number of visa applications for Denmark and Iceland applicants must expect a longer waiting time to hand in applications at VFS, and longer processing time.

The current processing time is 30 days.

Appointments can only be booked through the VFS website. If the system shows no availability, it means that all slots are currently fully booked. Please try again later.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
