Since March 2026, third-country nationals holding a valid Danish or other Schengen residence permit can visit the Faroe Islands and Greenland without a separate visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Travellers must carry both their passport and residence card; the rule covers Dutch residence cards marked document type I–V.
For people relocating to Denmark, the change makes short visits to the Faroe Islands and Greenland possible without a separate visa. According to the source, eligibility is based on holding a valid residence permit in a Schengen country, not merely a Schengen visa. This matters most to third-country nationals living in Denmark who plan to travel within the Danish Realm; they should check the format of their residence card and carry both the card and passport. It is a specialised rather than central relocation rule, but relevant for such travel plans.
