The Denmark student visa, officially known as the residence permit for higher education, allows international students from non-EU/EEA countries like Bangladesh to stay in Denmark for full-time studies. To obtain this visa, a student must first be accepted into a recognized Danish educational institution and receive an official admission letter. Along with this, the university provides a special form

called the ST1 form, which is required for the visa application. Applicants must also demonstrate sufficient financial means to support themselves during their stay—typically showing around DKK 6,589 (approximately 93,000 BDT) per month for living expenses. Additionally, students must provide proof of tuition payment, valid health insurance, academic documents, a clean police record, and proof of English proficiency such as IELTS or TOEFL scores.
1. Get Admission Offer
Before anything else, you must get accepted by a Danish educational institution.
Documents usually needed for admission:
- SSC, HSC, and Bachelor’s (if applying for Master’s)
- Passport copy
- English proficiency (IELTS/TOEFL/Duolingo – as per university)
- Motivation letter
- CV
- Academic transcripts and certificates
