Travelling to Greenland

 If you are a citizen of one of the Nordic countries, you do not need a visa to travel to Greenland.

A visa to Denmark does not automatically entitle you to a visa to Greenland, so you should check with the Danish Immigration Service.

 If you are travelling without a valid visa, Air Greenland may deny you boarding without liability for your onward journey.

See which nationalities require a visa at www.nyidanmark.dk

 

If you are traveling from an EU country, you must have a passport when entering Greenland.

 

You need to be able to identify yourself when travelling and therefore need to bring a valid photo ID, such as your passport.

 

Further visa information is available from Ministry of Foreign Affairs

 

 

Transit visa Pituffik Space Base:

 

If you are travelling to and from Qaanaaq via Thule Air Base, you must always, and regardless of duration, bring a valid transit visa. Passengers without a transit visa are denied boarding at check-in.
