Denmark Student Visa Interview Guide | Questions & Tips

Double-check that you have:

• Original passport (valid for 3+ months beyond your stay)
• Printed appointment confirmation (from VFS/consulate)
• Completed ST1 form (signed and dated)
• All supporting documents (acceptance letter, IELTS/TOEFL certificate, etc.) in organized, labeled copies

This process will happen when you book your appointment in the VFS Global Center or the Danish consulate. Here, your fingerprints and photo will be taken. Also, your documents will be verified. This process can take 30 to 40 minutes.

Track application

You can start tracking your application immediately after your biometric process. To check the application tracking, you need to use your case order ID in SIRI’s portal. 

Prepare for the Interview

You can start preparing for the interview 1-2 weeks before the interview day. You can practice some common questions regarding your university, programs, and Denmark.
