Directions · Denmark
Denmark applications from Ireland go through the VFS Global centre in Dublin. Appointments are released without notice and taken within minutes — we watch the calendar so you do not have to refresh it.

What we can tell you about this route
Monitoring on this route starts when you place a request. We will not quote you odds we have not measured.
The same visa, the same fee — the difference is which building you attend, and how the calendar there has actually behaved.

We have not measured this route yet, so we will not quote you a number - the figures on our other pages are recorded, and inventing one here would make all of them worthless. What this route does have is one centre, in Dublin, and 2 visa categories to choose between, with a published processing time of 45 days. The pattern everywhere we do measure is the same: appointments appear without notice, in batches, and are gone within minutes. Monitoring here starts when you place a request, and nothing is owed until one is booked.
VFS Global publishes this for the route: Note that the decision for the Schengen Visa applications submitted in the Denmark Visa application centre in Dublin is made by the Royal Danish Embassy in London. Due to increase in travel and request for visas the processing time is taking around 45 days. Kindly arrange your travel plans accordingly. --> Please note the minimum processing begins from the day the Embassy receives your documents. That clock starts at your appointment, not at your request to us - which is exactly why the appointment date is the part worth fighting for. An appointment six weeks out pushes the decision six weeks out with it.
Two separate things. The consular fee and the centre's service charge go to VFS Global and the consulate on the day - the published fee tables are above, and the amount depends on category, age and nationality. Our own fee is separate, quoted per request, and charged only after an appointment is booked and confirmed. If nothing opens, you owe nothing. Booking through the official system is free; what you are paying us for is the watching and the paperwork.
No password, and the verification code stays with you. VFS now sends a one-time code at the confirmation step, and you are the one who reads it out at that moment - it takes a few seconds and it means nobody is acting as you behind your back. Any service asking you to hand over an account password on a web form should worry you, whoever it is.
No, and anyone who does is selling you something they do not control. The consulate decides how many appointments exist and when they appear; we control only how fast they are noticed and taken. What we can promise is the shape of the deal: we watch, and you pay if and only if an appointment ends up booked in your name.
Refreshing the booking page dozens of times an hour is what triggers the "unusual activity" and "permission issue" errors people run into - we have documented what each of those codes actually means. We work within what the account can take, which is the whole point of doing it with tooling instead of by hand at 3am. Your application is submitted through the official system like anyone else's.
Longer answers to the questions behind these: what an empty calendar means, when appointments actually open, where you are allowed to apply.
The same country of application, a different destination — or the same visa, applied for from somewhere else.
We watch this centre's calendar continuously and book the moment an appointment opens. You pay after the booking is confirmed — if nothing opens, there is nothing to pay. We never ask for your VFS password, and the code from your email stays with you.
