visa category for Denmark visa.. urgent help please.

[doctorwhofornow]

Hi

I am a non-EU national living in the UK. I have to visit Denmark for a job interview of Scientist. I was looking for a Visa category to visit Denmark for 2 days for the purpose of meeting and interview with this company.(They are providing all the expenses to cover my trip).

The embassy suggested that I apply for a Short-stay BUSINESS visa. However when I search for information on demark websites, thet say that a business visa can only be issued if "there is an actual commercial relationship between your own company/organisation and the company/organisation in Denmark which you wish to visit."

So does that mean I cannot apply for a short stay business visa for the purpose of job interview with this company?


I would really appreciate your help in this

Kind regards

Hi doctorwhofornow,

love the nic - I thought "the doctor" usually travels by TARDIS, w/o visa?

For your real question: (Just my opinion, not my area of expertise)
What they try to avoid throught the "actual commercial relationship"clause is that someone is invited by a company, although it´s really a private matter. For example someone inviting his cousin for "business", although it´s actually a private matter.

An interview is obviously really a business matter, so I think there´s nothing to worry about.

Rgds,
Christian

lol.. wish I could travel in TARDIS. But I see the point in your response. But as always when it comes to visas and immigrations nothing can be taken for granted Thanks for the reply, lets see what others have to say about this.
