Passport and Visa

Passport and Visa Requirements

It is your responsibility to be in the possession of valid travel documents, passport and visa. The Faroe Islands are tied to the Danish immigration policy; however there are some distinctions regarding working, residing, and visiting in the Faroe Islands compared to Denmark.

Nordic citizens are not obliged to hold a passport for entry to the Faroe Islands but will need a photo identity document. Nordic citizens may stay indefinitely in the Faroe Islands without any further permits.

EU-country citizens or Schengen country citizens do not need a visa or other permit to visit the Faroe Islands. They may enter with a passport, or, for visits, national ID card (that includes a photo). This only applies to citizens. It is not sufficient to be a foreign resident.

Citizens of countries outside the EU and Schengen area must usually hold a passport valid for at least three months beyond the planned stay in the Faroe Islands. Depending on the nationality, a visa may also be required. The nationalities requiring a visa for entering the Faroe Islands is the same as for Denmark and can be seen here.

Please note that the Faroe Islands are NOT part of the Schengen Area. Consequently, people cannot enter the Faroe Islands based on their Schengen visas or Danish visa.

When a visa is applied for, it must be specifically for the Faroe Islands. Visas are applied for at the Royal Danish Embassy or Consulate in your country of residence.
