• One of the most common reasons why your Denmark visa application is rejected is due to an incomplete application. If you do not submit all the required documents with your application form, your application will not be accepted, and an instant rejection will be declared.

• Another reason your application may be rejected is insufficient coverage by your international travel insurance. Denmark visa applications require travel insurance with a minimum coverage of €30,000, and failure to meet this criteria leads to instant rejection.

• Your visa application can also be rejected if you do not submit sufficient proof of funds and accommodation details. Not providing enough supporting documentation to confirm your ability to live in Denmark for the required period can be a concern for the authorities, thus rejecting your application.

• Your visa application can be rejected if you have a criminal record in India. It is crucial to provide all the criminal history as an applicant. However, depending on the criminal offence, visas can be rejected.
