The information provided here is for the use of residents of New Zealand. If you do not live in New Zealand, please consult the website of the Danish Embassy or Consulate in the country where you live.

There are a number of different types of visas that you can apply for if you wish to work in Denmark. To see the list and to download the appropriate application form, please go to the following website:

Please also download the appropriate checklist from the website below. There are different checklists for different visas and it is very important that you download the correct version.

Please do not download checklists from any other website.

In many cases the application process begins in Denmark. An example is the application form for a student visa. In such cases the application form is downloaded by the relevant organisation in Denmark which completes the appropriate section and sends the application form to you. When you have completed it (do not sign it) you make an appointment with the nearest Danish Consulate General (for contact details click here). The application form must be signed in the presence of a Danish consular officer.

Please ensure that you have completed all sections as indicated in the checklist. In particular, make sure that all the requirements stated in the checklist are met. The checklist makes it clear what the fees are. There is an application fee payable to the Danish Consulate-General in Sydney, and an application fee payable to the Consulate in New Zealand that receives your application.

Please make an appointment with the appropriate Consulate in New Zealand so that you can be sure that a consular official is available when you call.
