How do you read and understand your Visa-sticker in your passport?
When you receive your passport back with a Visa-sticker to Denmark, it is important to understand what it means and check that the information is correct.
To avoid any problems there are two numbers that you have to study carefully:
1. Your “DURATION OF STAY…DAYS” show the days that you have been granted to stay in Denmark. This should be counted from the date you enter Denmark (entry stamp) till the date you exit (exit stamp).
For example: If you enter Denmark or another Schengen country on 1 February on a visa valid for 10 days within the period from 1 February until 29 February the same year, you will have to leave the Schengen area no later than 10 February, i.e. when the 10 days are up.
2. The other number is the period of time between “FROM …UNTIL.” This give you flexibility to plan your entry into and exit from the Schengen area, but your stay in the Schengen area must never exceed the exact number of days.
For example: If your visa is valid for 10 days within the period from 1 February until 29 February the same year, but your entry into the Schengen area is postponed until 24 February, you will have to leave the Schengen area no later than 29 February when the visa expires, regardless that you have not stayed for the full 10 days.
