What this document is
A Schengen visa (type C) is a short-stay visa for trips within the Schengen area. Under the EU Visa Code, Regulation (EC) No 810/2009, it covers stays of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period. A longer stay needs a national type D visa or a residence permit.

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light background without patterns, for example light blue or light grey (lys blå eller lys grå); white is not among the official examples.
- Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
- Frame. Exactly 35 × 45 mm, by the document’s rules.
- A light shadow on one side of the face. Gently brightened.
- File and print sheet. A file to the document’s rules and a 10 × 15 or A4 sheet to print.
What can't be fixed for free, AI correction fixes
- Hard shadows and uneven light on the face.
- A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
- Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 413 × 531 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
- Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.
Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
Denmark-specific things to know
- Denmark states the head as 30–36 mm from the chin to the top of the head on a 35 × 45 mm photo — the same figure its police give for passports and driving licences — and gives no background colour or age limit on the visa page.
- The mission or visa centre may ask for several photos or copies of the application, so its own list decides the number.

Where these numbers come from

What the source confirms
- Danish Immigration Service, short-stay visa for private and tourist visits: a passport photo measuring 35 mm × 45 mm; the distance from the chin to the top of the head between 30 mm and 36 mm; the photograph bearing a close resemblance to the current appearance, the applicant facing the camera directly; the diplomatic mission may request further documentation, multiple passport photos or copies of the application, so the mission's website must be checked.
- Same page, the rest of the application: a passport or other valid travel document valid at least three months after the planned departure, issued within the past ten years and with at least two blank pages; travel insurance with a coverage of EUR 30,000; documentation of the reason for the trip, accommodation and sufficient means for living expenses and the journey home; the applicant must appear in person and may submit the application in the country of residence or, with a valid reason, in another country where he or she is staying legally.
