Practical Visa Information

We have had students of many nationalities at Viborg IH. It makes us proud that students from so many different nations choose Viborg IH as the school from where they want to improve their athletic and personal skills and experience the Danish culture and society. Even though we welcome students from abroad, there are some Danish visa regulations that we must comply with.

All non-European citizens are required to have a visa before entering Denmark and the European Union. In order to apply to our school you must follow the application process described below.

Please note, that the word citizenship refers to your nationality as stated in your passport and NOT your country of residence – this is a very important detail when applying for a visa. Furthermore, the school cannot guarantee that your visa will be approved, but we will help you through the process. Visa and residence permit issues are dealt with by the Danish Immigration Service.

Students from visa required countries are to apply to Viborg Idrætshøjskole no later than 4 months before the beginning of term. This is in order to allow for processing of your application in both our administration and the Danish Immigration Service. Even though you may be allowed to enter Denmark on a tourist visa, you will not be allowed to study here until you have received your ST1 student visa.
