Do I need a visa for Faroe Islands?

Most foreign nationals need a visa to enter Faroe Islands, issued by a Faroe Islands embassy or consulate. Travelling on a US passport, you do need a Faroe Islands visa.

Faroe Islands Visa Processing Time

Faroe Islands asks travellers to apply at least 4 days before arrival. Government processing usually takes 3–5 days, but governments do not guarantee a decision date, so apply as early as you can — applications are accepted well ahead of travel.

Our Standard, Rush and Emergency options set how quickly we review and file your application; the decision itself remains with the Faroe Islands government. Whichever you choose, we tell you the date your visa is guaranteed by — on time or your money back.

Questions & Answers

Faroe Islands Visa FAQ

Do I need a visa for Faroe Islands?

Yes. US passport holders need a Faroe Islands visa before travelling. Applications are made through a Faroe Islands embassy or consulate.

Which Faroe Islands visa do I need?

▼
Visa type depends on the purpose of your trip. Select your passport above to see what is available to you.

How long can I stay in Faroe Islands?

▼
Up to 90 days per visit.

Is the Faroe Islands visa single or multiple entry?

▼
Entry conditions depend on the visa type you choose — short-stay visas are often single or double entry, while longer-validity visas are usually multiple entry. The entry type is shown before you pay.

How much does a Faroe Islands visa cost?

▼
On a US passport the government fee is $25.00 and our service fee starts at $59.00, so a standard application totals $84.00. Government fees are set by Faroe Islands and vary by nationality and visa type.

Why is there a service fee on top of the government fee?

▼
The government fee is paid to Faroe Islands. Our fee covers checking your photo, passport details and supporting documents against the current rules before the application is filed — the errors that cause most rejections — plus tracking and support until your visa is issued.

What happens if my application is refused?

▼
Our service fee is refunded if we cannot deliver your approved visa. Where the refusal is caused by an error on our side we correct and resubmit at no extra charge. Government fees are not refundable once an application has been filed.

How long does a Faroe Islands visa take?

▼
Government processing normally takes 3–5 days. Faroe Islands asks travellers to apply at least 4 days before arrival, and no government guarantees a decision date — apply as early as you can.

How do I apply for a Faroe Islands visa online?

▼
Complete our application form — it takes most travellers five to ten minutes — and upload your passport page and photo. A specialist reviews everything before submission, files it with the consulate, and emails your approved visa.

What documents do I need for a Faroe Islands visa?

▼
A passport valid for at least six months on the date you arrive, a recent digital photograph that meets Faroe Islands's specification, and a scan of your passport biographical page. Business and medical applications also need supporting paperwork such as an invitation or hospital letter.

What are the Faroe Islands visa photo requirements?

▼
A recent, front-facing colour photograph with a plain white background, no glasses and no head covering except for religious reasons. Photo problems are one of the most common causes of refusal, so we check yours against the current specification before filing.

Can I apply for my whole family at once?

▼
Yes. Set the number of travellers in the pricing panel and we manage the applications together so names, dates and documents stay consistent across the group.

How do I use my Faroe Islands visa at the airport?

▼
Your visa is placed in your passport, so simply present your passport at immigration.

Can I extend my Faroe Islands visa?

▼
No. Faroe Islands does not extend this visa — you must leave the country and apply again.

What are the Faroe Islands overstay penalties?

▼
Around $8 per day overstayed. Overstaying can also mean a multi-year entry ban and removal, and it is recorded against future applications.
