Do you need a Visa?

Immigration requirements are similar to Denmark, but the Faroe Islands are neither part of the European Union nor the Schengen Area.

Citizens from the Nordic countries and EU/EAA countries are permitted to enter the Faroe Islands without a visa and can stay for up to 3 months.

Citizens from other countries may need a visa to visit the Faroe Islands for the purpose of business, personal visits and tourism.

Other Visa Information:

You can apply for a visa to the Faroe Islands at a Danish Embassy or Consulate in your country of residence. A list of Danish Embassies and Consulates around the world can be viewed here.

It is worth noting that, although visa applications to the Faroe Islands are under Danish jurisdiction, a visa to enter Denmark does not give the holder the right to enter the Faroe Islands, and vice versa. The visa must be explicitly specified for the Faroe Islands or Denmark.
