Spanish passport holders enter the Faroe Islands without a visa. The Faroe Islands are a self-governing territory of Denmark. EU and Schengen nationals can enter freely. A valid Spanish passport or national ID card is sufficient. There is no border control on flights from Denmark, but flights from Spain usually connect through Copenhagen.
The Faroe Islands are not part of the EU or the Schengen area, even though Denmark is a member of both. In practice, this means there can be ID checks on arrival depending on your routing. If you fly direct from Copenhagen (a Schengen departure), Faroese authorities may check documents on arrival. The check is quick for EU nationals.
There is no time limit on tourist stays for EU citizens, but the Faroe Islands have their own immigration rules separate from Denmark. If you plan to work or stay long-term, you need a residence and work permit from the Faroese Immigration Office (Uttanrikisradid). EU free movement rules do not fully apply here.
