Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |

Passport issued within ten years, at least two blank pages and three months beyond intended stay. National guidance also says three months past visa expiry; ensure intended approval dates fit. Provide copies of previous-passport Schengen visas and Schengen entry/exit stamps. Other travel-document six-month wording is outside this ordinary-passport scope. |

Applicant-named statements showing account movements for the last three months, duly bank-stamped and signed.

Minimum EUR30000, all Schengen countries, accident/illness/emergency evacuation including the checklist Covid19 cover, arrival and departure dates included.

| India to Denmark parent or adult-child visit: self-funded private host and online invitation: Colour documents on A4 paper | required | visa application | Example from this named route only.

Host completes and signs online with MitID, forwards invitation ID; submit physical printout of the code under India FAQ. Host needs Danish CivilRegistration address. Online invitation valid six months from submission, one invitation per invitee. This route uses online invitation; private-paper-letter stamp ambiguity is not resolved by invented notarisation. |
