Dummy ticket (flight reservation) for Denmark visa from India

What the Denmark checklist asks for

• A return or round-trip flight reservation; the Embassy recommends not buying the ticket before approval.
• Proof of travel between Schengen countries: an intra-Schengen flight reservation, train itinerary or car rental.
• Hotel bookings or accommodation guarantees covering every night of the stay.
• Funds of DKK 500 per day if you stay in a hotel, or DKK 350 per day in a private home.
• Travel medical insurance of at least €30,000 for the whole trip.
• Any document the Embassy asks for, sent within 3 days, or the case is decided as it stands.

Denmark says it plainly: do not buy the ticket

Few embassies put it so directly. The Embassy of Denmark’s tourist checklist asks for “Flight reservations of return or round ticket. If applicant is traveling to several Schengen states proof of intra-Schengen Flight reservation, Train Itinerary or Car rental.” Then it adds: “The Embassy recommends that you do not buy a plane ticket before your visa has been approved.”

That settles the question many applicants ask. A held reservation with a PNR is the document Denmark has in mind. For accommodation, the checklist asks for “Hotel bookings or accommodation guarantees covering the whole duration of the intended stay”, so make sure the last night before your flight home is included.

Applying: applyvisa.um.dk first, then VFS

Denmark’s process starts online. You complete the application form and pay the visa fee at applyvisa.um.dk, then attend a VFS Global centre with your documents for biometrics. VFS runs centres in New Delhi, Chandigarh, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru, Kochi, Mumbai, Pune and Ahmedabad. Outside Delhi, VFS adds a mandatory courier charge. Every file is decided at the Royal Danish Embassy in New Delhi.

The New Delhi centre moved to VFS Global House, Connaught Place, in January 2026. Business applicants from companies in Denmark’s “Red Carpet” scheme can walk in without an appointment.

Low refusals, short visas, a three-day deadline

Denmark refused 6.9% of Indian applications in 2025, the lowest of any Schengen state, down from 8.4% in 2024. But only about one in five visas it issued was multiple-entry, so plan for a visa that covers the trip you apply for rather than years of travel.

Two rules make completeness important. If the Embassy finds something missing, you have “within 3 days” to supply it, or the case is decided as it is. And the checklist sets funds at DKK 500 per day in a hotel and DKK 350 per day in a private home, so the days on your reservation set the amount your bank statements need to show.

Flights to Copenhagen after October 2026

Air India’s Delhi–Copenhagen service, four times a week, was reported to end on 25 October 2026. After that, expect to connect through a Gulf hub, Istanbul, Frankfurt, Helsinki or Amsterdam. If you are applying now for a trip later in the year, make sure your reservation uses a routing that will still operate on your dates.

Denmark is often the first stop on a Scandinavian trip with Sweden and Norway. Apply to Denmark if it gets the most nights, or if nights are equal and you enter the Schengen area in Denmark. Show the train, flight or car rental between countries, as the checklist asks.

Flying from India to Denmark

Your reservation should follow a route you could realistically fly. These are common options; schedules change, so the desk confirms what is bookable for your dates.

Mistakes to avoid with a Denmark application

• Buying a non-refundable ticket, which the Embassy specifically advises against before approval.
• No train, flight or car rental proof for the Sweden or Norway leg of a Scandinavian trip.
• A bank balance that falls short of DKK 500 per hotel night for the dates on the reservation.
• Missing the 3-day deadline to send a document the Embassy requests.
• Dates entered at applyvisa.um.dk that differ from the flight reservation.
• Reserving the Air India non-stop for dates after its reported end in October 2026.

Dummy ticket and hotel bookings, matched to your itinerary

We do not send one loose document. The desk matches the flight reservation and every hotel booking to your itinerary: the same dates, the same cities, and no night left uncovered. These are the real documents of one order for a Switzerland visa file, issued on 5 November 2026: one flight reservation and four hotel bookings that cover all 9 nights between the two flights. Personal details are blacked out; everything else is as issued.
