Don’t forget to check the validity of your Zambian passport: at least 6 months of validity remaining from the date of entry to Denmark
If you want to apply for this visa, your fingerprints will be taken. That means you have to be at the embassy to give your fingerprints.
A fee will be applied to your visa application.

VISA APPLICATION
If you choose to have a business trip with ZamNordic in Denmark, we will send you an invitation letter and also to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark. Thus VFS Global will have access to it and you can directly apply for a short-stay visa at the Visa Application Centre (VFS) in Lusaka.
AND AFTER ?
After you have registered and filled out the application form, you will be charged approximately 90 US$ for the application fee.
The embassy/consulate will not start processing your application before they have received the signed cover letter, your passport and other required documents and your biometrics (photo and, where applicable, fingerprints). As a Zambian citizen, you will need to submit your fingerprints.
