Extension for Up to a Total of 90 Days

You can extend a Schengen visa for a total stay of up to 90 days under certain circumstances. These include emergencies, important personal or work reasons, new information affecting your travel plans, or situations like flight cancellations or bad weather. Remember to maintain your original purpose of visit and have valid travel insurance. Apply for an extension before your current visa expires.

Extension for Up to 90 Additional Days

In some cases, you may extend your stay in Denmark for up to another 90 days, totaling 180 days. Apply for this extension before your current visa-free stay ends. Late applications may be rejected unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Note that an extended stay in Denmark doesn't allow access to other Schengen countries, even for transit.

Eligibility Criteria

Extensions are usually granted for extraordinary situations such as illness preventing travel, a serious situation with your host in Denmark, or other unforeseen events.

How to Apply

Passport Validity

Make sure your passport is valid when applying for an extension. Extensions can be denied if your passport isn't valid. Your passport can only be extended up to 3 months before its expiry. If you have a national passport, your country's embassy will renew it.
