Visit us at the Embassy
U.S. Embassy, Copenhagen, Denmark: The Nonimmigrant Visa Section of the U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen holds interviews Monday through Thursday 8:15 a.m.-12:00 noon, except for legal Danish and American holidays.
The Non-Immigrant Visa unit has no walk-in hours. All interviews and meetings are by appointment.
Security Instructions for Visiting the Embassy
- Please have a form of photo identification available to present to the guard. Once verified, the guard will begin the security scanning process, which is similar to that of most international airports. All incoming visitors are checked, which may take time if you are part of a large group visit.
- When entering the security area, the guard will ask you to empty your pockets of all metal items, no matter what size and shape. Belts with a metal buckle must also be removed.
- All electronic items, such as mobile phones, MP 3 players and USB keys, must be left with the guards. The items stay in the security area, where you may recover them upon your departure. The guard provides a receipt for your items.
- Due to security restrictions, portable computers and large bags (back packs, suitcases, etc.) are not allowed in the embassy. You are strongly advised not to bring such items to the embassy.
- Knives and other weapon-like items are prohibited in the Embassy. If you have a knife or other weapon like item on your person or in your baggage, you must tell the guard. Any knife or other weapon like item found by the guard during the search will be confiscated and turned over to the Danish police. You are strongly advised to leave all knives and other weapon-like items at home.
- After emptying your pockets, please walk through the metal detector. If cleared by the detector and the guard, you continue forward and may recover your non-electronic items.

Please do not use the term "emergency travel" for an appointment request when the reporting date is several weeks/months away. Applicants who cannot obtain an online appointment may send an e-mail explaining the special circumstances to copenhagenNIV@state.gov; please write “Emergency Travel” in the subject line and include your telephone number and e-mail address as well as your SEVIS number if you are a student (F or M) or exchange visitor (J).
