Faroe Islands Visa Fees for Indians in 2026: EUR 90 Plus VFS Charges

These amounts are as published on the official sources, checked on 15 October 2026. Our Faroe Islands visa page for Indians covers entry rules and documents in more detail.

Why do you pay the Danish fee for a Faroe Islands visa?

The Faroe Islands have no separate visa channel in India. The Danish Immigration Service says the procedure is the same as for a Danish visa, and applications go to a Danish diplomatic mission. From India that means the Embassy of Denmark in New Delhi, through VFS Global Denmark centres.

Neither VFS India nor the Embassy publishes a Faroe-specific category or fee. The fee that applies is the Danish short-stay visa fee shown in the Denmark VFS fee table.

What makes it a Faroe visa is the sticker. A Danish or other Schengen visa is not valid for entry to the Faroe Islands, so your visa must state that it is valid for the Faroe Islands.

What is the full fee breakdown?

The visa fee is published in euros only. VFS says the exchange rate on the date of application applies, so there is no fixed official rupee amount for it. The VFS service fee and courier charge, on the other hand, are published in INR.

Does applying outside Delhi cost more?

Yes, by the courier charge. VFS Global Denmark runs 11 centres in India: Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Chennai, Cochin, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi and Pune. If you submit anywhere other than Delhi, a mandatory courier charge of Euro 4 (INR 444) is added on top of the service fee. Applicants in Delhi pay only the visa fee and the INR 2109 service fee.

Do you pay twice if you also need a Schengen visa?

If you will also visit Denmark or another Schengen country on the trip, you need a Schengen visa as well. The Danish Immigration Service says only one application form is needed when you apply for a Schengen visa at the same time, as long as you include documentation of your planned stay in the Faroe Islands.

The official pages do not publish a separate fee for that combined request. Check the amount the applyvisa.um.dk portal shows before you pay, and keep the payment receipt for your file.

Which costs sit outside the fee table?

• Travel medical insurance. If your visa is valid only for the Faroe Islands, the Danish Immigration Service does not require travel medical insurance. If you apply for a Schengen visa at the same time, you need insurance with at least EUR 30,000 of cover.
• Funds. The Faroe visa follows the Danish rule: as a general guide, about DKK 350 per day, or about DKK 500 per day if you stay in a hotel. The Danish mission decides what is enough.
• Photos. 35mm x 45mm, chin to top of head 30-36mm, facing the camera and closely resembling you.
• Bookings. You need documentation of your planned stay in the Faroe Islands. A verifiable hotel reservation can show where you will stay without paying for the room in advance.

How and when do you pay?

1. Fill in the application at applyvisa.um.dk and pay the EUR visa fee online. VFS Denmark requires both before you can book.
2. Wait for validation. VFS says it can take up to 24 hours before the appointment calendar opens.
3. Book your VFS appointment and keep your payment confirmation with the file.
4. At the centre, pay the INR 2109 service fee and, outside Delhi, the INR 444 courier charge by cash, card or UPI. Give your fingerprints and hand in your documents in person.

The Embassy normally decides within 15 days of receiving the application, not counting time at VFS. It can take up to 30 days if further enquiry is needed and up to 45 days in exceptionally difficult cases, so pay and apply well before your trip.

Which payment mistakes cost Faroe Islands applicants money?

• Paying for a Schengen-only visa. If the form does not request validity for the Faroe Islands, the sticker you receive will not let you enter, and you will have paid EUR 90 for the wrong visa. Say clearly in the application and your covering documents that you are going to the Faroe Islands.
• Leaving out Faroe documents in a combined application. One form can cover both visas, but only if your file includes documentation of the planned stay in the Faroe Islands, such as accommodation and travel plans for the islands.
• Budgeting the visa fee in fixed rupees. The EUR 90 is converted at the exchange rate on the day you apply, so the rupee amount can differ from what a friend paid last year.
• Forgetting the courier charge. Outside Delhi it is mandatory, not optional, so add INR 444 to your plan.
• Buying insurance you may not need, or skipping insurance you do need. A Faroe-only visa needs no travel medical insurance; a Schengen visa requested at the same time needs at least EUR 30,000 of cover.
• Booking the appointment too late. Validation of your online payment can take up to 24 hours, and the decision itself normally takes up to 15 days after the Embassy receives your file.

Frequently asked questions

Is a Schengen visa enough to visit the Faroe Islands?

No. The Danish Immigration Service says a Danish or other Schengen visa is not valid for entry to the Faroe Islands. Indians need a visa sticker that states it is valid for the Faroe Islands.

Can I enter the Faroe Islands with a Danish residence permit?

Yes, if it is valid. Holders of a valid residence permit from Denmark or another Schengen country that entitles them to enter and reside in Denmark may enter the Faroe Islands without a visa.

Is there a Faroe Islands eVisa for Indians?

No. You complete the form and pay the EUR fee online at applyvisa.um.dk, but you must then hand in your documents and give biometrics in person at a VFS Denmark centre, and the visa is a sticker in your passport.

Can I get a Faroe Islands visa after reaching Denmark?

Not at the border. Someone already in Denmark without a visa valid for the Faroe Islands must apply to the Danish Immigration Service for an entry permit.
