Important Notes

Nigerian citizens require a Schengen visa to enter Denmark. The visa application must be submitted through VFS Global in Nigeria, which handles applications on behalf of the Danish Embassy. Processing times can vary significantly, especially due to high demand or complex cases, and are generally not guaranteed. The visa fee is 90 EUR (approximately 90 USD, subject to exchange rate fluctuations). Additional service fees for VFS Global apply. It is advisable to apply well in advance of your planned travel date, typically 3-6 months before, but no earlier than 6 months and no later than 15 days before the trip. The maximum stay allowed on a short-stay Schengen visa is 90 days within any 180-day period. The 'validity' and 'processingTime' are marked as null as they are highly variable and determined by the embassy/consulate on a case-by-case basis, not a fixed number.
