Visa
 
Terms and Conditions

People who intend to visit the Faroe Islands for a short period need a visa that gives them the right to enter the Faroe Islands, if they are from a country where visa is required.

The list of countries requiring visa for entering the Faroe Islands is the same as for Denmark. Furthermore, conditions for obtaining a visa for the Faroe Islands are similar to the conditions for obtaining a visa for Denmark. For further information visit www.denmark.org.uk

A visa for Denmark does not give the holder the right to enter the Faroe Islands unless it is stated in the visa, just as a visa for the Faroe Islands does not give the holder right to enter Denmark, if it is not stated in the visa.

Visa is required for entering the Faroe Islands regardless of the person having a residence permit in Denmark. Correspondingly, a visa is required when entering Denmark, even though the person has a residence permit in the Faroe Islands.

 
Where To Apply For A VISA
