Getting to
the Faroe Islands
You can fly non-stop to the Faroe Islands from various destinations, including Copenhagen, Paris, Reykjavik, Edinburgh, Oslo, and Bergen. For North American travellers, convenient connections are available through Iceland, making it easy to reach this archipelago.
The most frequent departures is the Danish capital, Copenhagen. If there are no direct flights from your chosen departure airport, Atlantic can offer connections via several gateway airports. Depending on the route, it generally takes around 2hr30min to fly directly to the Faroes – though some routes, such as Edinburgh and Reykjavík, take little over an hour.
Four airlines fly to the Faroe Islands. These are the Faroe Islands’ national airline, Atlantic Airways, Icelandair, Scandinavian Airlines (also called SAS) and Widerøe.
Flights are 5-6 times a week from May to October.
Getting to the Faroe Islands by Sea
Although flying is undoubtedly the fastest way to reach the Faroe Islands, there is another option. Operating year-round from the Danish port of Hirtshals in northern Jutland, the Faroese-owned and operated ferry, Norröna sails to Tórshavn in around 30 hours (longer outside the summer season). During the summer sailing season, the ferry continues north from the Faroes to Iceland before returning south, again via the Faroes, to Denmark.
Given the length of the crossing to the Faroes, creature comforts have been given pride of place onboard the Norröna and the ship offers everything you would expect from a modern international ferry. True, the crossing is a long one and the swells and waves of the North Atlantic, especially in winter, can be unpredictable and unsettling but travel by ferry to the Faroes is a fabulous way to get here. What’s more, the ferry docks right in the heart of the capital, Tórshavn, and as Norröna makes her final turn into the harbour you’re treated to a fabulous panorama of the entire town laid out before – it really is as beautiful as it sounds.

You do not need a visa or other permit to visit the Faroe Islands. You may enter with a passport, or, for visits, a national ID card (that includes a photo) from one of the below countries.

Visitors from countries outside the EU and Schengen area must usually hold a passport valid for at least three months beyond the planned stay in the Faroe Islands. Depending on the nationality, a visa may also be required. The nationalities requiring a visa for entering the Faroe Islands is the same as for Denmark and can be seen here.
The Faroe Islands are NOT part of the Schengen Area. Consequently, people cannot enter the Faroe Islands based on their Schengen visas or Danish visa. When a visa is applied for at the Danish Embassy, it must be specifically for the Faroe Islands.
The conditions for obtaining a visa for the Faroe Islands are similar to the conditions for obtaining a visa for Denmark.
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 the right to enter Denmark if it is not stated in the visa.
Visa is required for entering the Faroe Islands regardless of whether the person has 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.
Further information for foreigners living in Denmark, who wish to visit the Faroe Islands, can be found here.
If in doubt, contact the airline, ferry, or cruise company you are arriving with.
WHERE TO APPLY FOR A VISA
Visas are applied for at the Royal Danish Embassy or Consulate in your country of residence.
