Værd at vide om din rejseforsikring til Grønland
- Den offentlige sygesikring, det vil sige det gule sundhedskort, er gældende i hele Rigsfællesskabet – altså også Grønland og Færøerne. Det gule sundhedskort dækker dog ikke hjemtransport, hvis det bliver nødvendig ifm. sygdom eller ulykke. Derfor er det vigtig at have en rejseforsikring for at undgå store økonomiske overraskelser.
- Hos Europæiske ERV finder du et godt udvalg af rejseforsikringer, og du har mulighed for at tilpasse din dækning, så den passer dine behov. Vi tilbyder blandt andet en særlig rejseforsikring til unge under 36 år.
- Med en rejseforsikring hos Europæiske ERV har du adgang til en dansktalende alarmcentral 24/7, så du altid kan føle dig tryg på din rejse.

Lokal rejse
Overview
The main entry point for travellers is Nuuk Airport (GOH/BGGH) and air travel is overall safe. With much of the territory covered in ice, the few roads that exist in Greenland are often unpaved. Driving can be hazardous in rural northern regions and areas along the west coast. Greenland has no railways. An official permit is required for travelling into Northeast Greenland National Park or for the central glaciers. Helicopter and ferry services are available on domestic routes. For emergency medical care, dial 112.
Travel Safety
Air Travel
From November 2024, Nuuk Airport (GOH/BGGH) became the main international hub for travel to Greenland. The airport is located inside of the country's capital, Nuuk and Air Greenland serves international flights from it. Icelandair, SAS and United Airlines plan to increase flights to this airport.
Another operative airport in the country is Kangerlussuaq Airport (SFJ/BGSF), located in the central-western municipality of Qeqqata.
The main airline serving Greenland (Air Greenland) operates year-round from Copenhagen and Reykjavik to Nuuk, Kangerlussuaq (west Greenland) and Narsarsuaq (south Greenland), as well as many other smaller destinations in Greenland. Flights can often be cancelled or delayed on short notice, causing travellers to have to stay in Greenland longer. Travellers should be prepared to make arrangements for a longer travel duration in this case.
Helicopter service is available on domestic routes.
Airspace
International flights are operating predominantly to and from Denmark and Iceland.
Identification
Most travellers will need a passport to enter Greenland. The passport must be valid for at least three months after the date of departure and have one blank page.
Travellers are allowed entry with passports where gender is indicated as "neutral". The country's overall social acceptance of LGBTQ people is good.
Road Travel
Traffic moves on the right side of the road, although road transportation is sparse, and the majority of travel occurs by boat or air.
Greenland has a relatively small road network compared to many other countries. Roads primarily connect towns and settlements along the coast, with fewer roads in the interior due to the island's rugged and largely uninhabited terrain. Most roads are unpaved gravel roads, especially outside of major towns and cities. These roads can be rough and challenging to navigate, particularly in remote areas.
Greenland's weather can be extreme, with long, harsh winters and unpredictable conditions year-round. Snow and ice can make road travel difficult, especially in winter months, and travellers should be prepared for changing weather conditions.
Public Transport
Overall, public transportation in Greenland is characterised by a mix of bus services, boat connections and domestic flights, tailored to the island's unique geography and the needs of its inhabitants. The climate in Greenland is extreme, especially during winter. Arctic weather conditions may cause delays and interruptions in transport services. Travellers should plan for emergencies, make contingency plans and carry enough funds to cover unexpected expenses.
In larger towns and cities such as Nuuk and Ilulissat, there are local bus services that provide transportation within the town limits. These buses may operate on a regular schedule, but frequency and coverage can be limited compared to urban areas in other countries. There are also bus services that connect larger towns and settlements in Greenland. These inter-town buses typically operate less frequently and may cover long distances, making them an essential mode of transportation for residents travelling between communities. In coastal areas and communities located near the sea, boat services play a crucial role in transportation.
Ferries and Boats: The Arctic Umiaq Line provides sea transportation between cities on the western and southern coasts of Greenland, including Nuuk, particularly in areas where road access is limited or nonexistent.
Vehicle Hire: Rental cars are available from May to September. Driving can be hazardous in rural northern regions and areas along Greenland's west coast.
Movement Control Orders
Travel in remote and environmentally sensitive areas of Greenland is limited. Visitors who wish to explore glaciers, mountains or the Northeast Greenland National Park must obtain a special permit from the Government before departure. Travel agencies may take care of the application process.
