Regarding persons travelling to/via Denmark
When travelling to the Faroe Islands, you are entering the Kingdom of Denmark. Please check the official entry guidelines for Denmark before making plans to visit the Faroe Islands. This also applies if you are just passing through Denmark in transit and the Faroe Islands is the sole destination of your travel. The official guidelines for entering Denmark can be found here.
Covid test on fourth day
We strongly advise ALL travellers to take a follow-up test on the fourth day of their stay (more information about free public testing service here, or contact Thetis for private testing). Vaccinated and previously infected travellers are also asked to take this test.
Please note, that you have to book an appoinment for the 4th day test. It is not possible to show up without an appointment.
ALL travellers should be particularly careful during the first four days of their stay until they have received a negative test result.
Non-vaccinated and never infected individuals should stay away from large gatherings where the infection can spread quickly. For example, large birthdays, parties, nightlife, church ceremonies, and large sports and music arrangements. This means, among other things, that tourists can visit restaurants in controlled circumstances.
