Grönland: was man vor der Reise wissen sollte
Das Wichtigste
- Greenland is outside Schengen. A Schengen visa alone does not give permission to enter Greenland.
- There are no roads connecting towns; weather can delay flights and boats. Allow contingency time.
Einreise und Visa
Bring a passport and check any separate Greenland visa requirement with Danish authorities. EU, UK, US and UAE citizens are on the tourism office visa-exempt list; Ukrainian exemption requires a biometric passport. If your nationality needs a visa, it must specifically cover Greenland.
Gültigkeit des Reisepasses: US guidance requires 90 days beyond departure; check nationality-specific rules with Danish authorities.
