Documents for a Denmark student visa
Quick answer
Applying to study at an institution in the destination country. The documents normally translated and legalised are Academic transcript, Degree certificate, Birth certificate, Bank statement or bank letter, Thai national ID card, House registration, using the translation standard Denmark accepts.
Document checklist
- Academic transcript
Must be an institution-issued and signed copy, not a student-made photocopy
- Degree certificate
Many destinations require the transcript to accompany the degree certificate
- Birth certificate
A registrar-certified copy is required, not an ordinary photocopy
- Bank statement or bank letter
Must be signed and stamped by the bank; an app-printed statement without the bank stamp is commonly refused
- Thai national ID card
Used as supporting evidence alongside a certified civil-registration document
- House registration
A current registrar-certified extract is required rather than the household booklet you keep at home
Cautions
- Institutions usually want the transcript issued directly by the school; a translation made from a self-made photocopy is often not accepted
- CPR registration usually needs the house registration and marital-status document legalised together; prepare the whole set at once.
- Thailand acceded to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention on 30 June 2026 and it enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027, so no Thai Apostille is issued yet, so no Apostille is issued in Thailand. The working route is certified translation, legalisation by the Department of Consular Affairs (MFA), and then attestation at the destination country’s mission in Thailand where the receiving authority requires it.
