Översikt
The Faroe Islands is an island group and forms part of Denmark. Situated between the Norwegian Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, the island group are roughly equidistant between Iceland and Scotland, although it is slightly closer to Scotland which is some 310km away. Although still under Danish control, the islands are achieving increased autonomy, but defence and military concerns, as well as law and other key administration remain under Danish control.
Hälsa, sjukdomar och vaccination
It is advisable to consult a travel health specialist or general practitioner (GP) to obtain the latest information about 4 to 8 weeks before departing. Polio, measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) and Tetanus-diphtheria vaccinations should be up to date.
The influenza vaccination is recommended for all travellers visiting from November through April. The Rabies vaccination is only recommended for travellers who are expecting direct contact with bats. Hepatitis B is recommended for those who might be exposed to blood or body fluids.
Tap water is safe to drink.
Medical facilities in the Faroe Islands are limited. The coast guard and Atlantic Airways have helicopters that can be used for emergency evacuation in more serious cases. The main hospital is located in the capital. Emergency care wards are available in Tórshavn, Klaksvík on Borðoy and Tvøroyri on Suðuroy.
Pass
Visitors from Nordic countries do not require a passport. However, some form of formal identification is required. Generally, nationalities from EU and non-EU countries do require a passport. The Faroe Islands are not part of the Schengen Agreement, as such visitors from Schengen countries do require a passport.
Visum
Visitors from countries where a visa is required, must have a visa valid for 90 days. Those with Schengen visas cannot enter the Faroe Islands. A specific visa is required. While the Faroe Islands is closely linked to Denmark, a visa that is valid for one will not be applicable for the other.
