Visa Procurement
Please be advised that visa requirements are subject to change and that visa procurement is the responsibility of the traveller and not On The Go Tours, therefore it is essential that you check current visa requirements with the embassy before travel. Please also ensure that your passport is valid for at least 3 months from your planned date of departure from Greenland.
UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and USA passport holders do not require a visa for a stay of less than 90 days.
For passport holders of other nationalities not included here, please check the Project Visa website for more information.
South African Residents
Greenland is not part of the EU, so EU regulations on free movement do not apply. A normal Schengen visa is not valid for travel to Greenland. A passport valid for at least three months from your departure is required and a visa will only be issued if blank pages are available and if the passport has been issued in the last 10 years.
Requirements for the procurement of a Greenland visa are subject to change but application requirements include round-trip travel itinerary specifying entry and exit dates from the Schengen state and proof of funds to support yourself during your stay, along with a copy of your travel insurance policy. Nationals requiring visas for Greenland must have a Schengen visa issued by a Danish mission with the wording 'Valid for Greenland' in the comments section on the visa. Visas are issued by the Danish embassy in Pretoria.
