Visa & Entry

US passport holders enter Greenland visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Greenland is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark but is not part of the Schengen area or the EU. US citizens do not need a Schengen visa for Greenland. Passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the planned departure. At Kangerlussuaq Airport (SFJ) or Nuuk Airport (GOH), immigration stamps your passport.

Greenland has its own immigration rules separate from mainland Denmark. Time spent in Greenland does not count against your Schengen 90-day allowance. Greenland's population is about 57,000 across an island the size of Western Europe. No roads connect the towns, so all inter-town travel is by plane, helicopter, boat, or dogsled. Air Greenland operates domestic flights between settlements.

No direct flights connect the US to Greenland as of early 2026, though seasonal charters occasionally operate from the US East Coast. Route through Copenhagen (about 4 hours 30 minutes to Kangerlussuaq on Air Greenland) or Reykjavik Keflavik (about 3 hours to Nuuk on Icelandair seasonal service). A new international airport in Nuuk is under construction with a longer runway planned to open in 2026, which will enable direct transatlantic flights. Total travel time from the US East Coast runs 10 to 16 hours. Greenland uses the Danish krone (DKK), trading at roughly 7 DKK per $1. Card payments work in towns. Prices are high: a restaurant meal costs DKK 200 to DKK 400 ($29 to $57). Bring warm layers year-round: summer temperatures in July average 5 to 10 degrees Celsius.
