DTCC Corporate Members enjoy a special service to obtain their visas for Denmark and the Schengen area. The Red Carpet Visa Program is a fast track service with minimal documentation requirements.

WARNING. Please be aware that a Danish Schengen visa is issued for the purpose of visiting Denmark and maybe later go to another country (Schengen Country). In case you travel to Europe with a Danish Schengen visa to go to another Schengen Country before Denmark (or maybe not at all) you risk to be detained in the airport and denied entry into Denmark and on top of that face criminal charges.

If your company intends to use the RC facility often, then please make sure that your company already has a registered Red Carpet member via the Danish Embassy. If not, you have to apply for Red Carpet Membership by using the application form Red Carpet Annex A, B and C.

Business partners and close family members associated with Red Carpet members can be advised by the DTCC, and DTCC members can contact the Chamber office to receive support in the process of obtaining a visa. The Danish Embassy and DTCC have created a checklist to guarantee that all relevant documentation for both business partners and close family members is submitted.

DTCC members, their business partners and close family members are eligible for assistance from the DTCC to ensure that a smooth documentation process is established applying the specific checklists.

Upon submission of all documents specified in the checklists, and if provided with a letter of recommendation by the DTCC, DTCC members, their business partners and close family members will thus enjoy an optimized visa process.
