Overview
How do Indian citizens apply for a Faroe Islands visa?
Who handles applications in India
The Faroe Islands have no separate visa channel in India: applications go to a Danish diplomatic mission or a representation processing visas for Denmark – in India, the Embassy of Denmark in New Delhi via VFS Global Denmark centres. Citizens of visa-requiring countries need a visa whose sticker states it is valid for the Faroe Islands; a Danish/Schengen visa is not valid for entry to the Faroe Islands. The procedure is the same as for a Danish visa and only one application form is needed even if a Schengen visa is applied for at the same time, with documentation of the planned stay in the Faroe Islands included. VFS Global Denmark (India) lists 'Greenland and Faroe Islands' among long-term applications it accepts for the Embassy.
