Notes: British passport holders do not need a visa to visit Greenland for tourism, for stays of up to 90 days. Important: a Schengen visa does NOT cover entry to Greenland — it is not part of the EU or Schengen Area, so this is a genuinely separate entry decision from travel to Denmark or elsewhere in Europe. Ensure your passport is valid for at least 3 months beyond departure.
