You will usually need an offer or confirmation of enrolment, proof of funds, English test results, health insurance and a genuine study plan. Requirements are set by the Denmark government and are updated regularly.

We do not publish visa rules that may be out of date. Your visa counselor will give you the current checklist when you are ready to apply.

Work opportunities

Students in Denmark can often work part-time during studies and full-time during scheduled breaks, subject to visa conditions. Post-study work options depend on the rules in place when you graduate.
