Grönland: bra att veta före resan
Det viktigaste
- 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.
Inresa och visum
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.
Passets giltighet: US guidance requires 90 days beyond departure; check nationality-specific rules with Danish authorities.
