Visa requirements
Please check the following link to the Danish Immigration services to see whether or not you need to apply for a tourist visa.
Students who are citizens in the EU/EEC or Nordic countries do not need a tourist visa.
Students with a nationality that need a visa to enter Denmark but are
residing in a Schengen country at the time of the Summer School
programme can stay in Denmark for up to 90 days provided their Schengen
visa is valid for the whole period in question.
Students outside of these two categories may need a tourist visa to
enter Denmark, depending on their nationality. If you need a tourist
visa, you should apply BEFORE LEAVING HOME to the Danish
embassy/consulate in your home country as soon as possible, as the

three months to approve a visa application.
