Entry / Exit requirements

Just like every other country, Greenland decides who enters or exits its borders and the Government of Canada cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet the country’s entry or exit requirements.

The information on this page was obtained from Danish authorities; however, it can change at any time. Moreover, you can verify the information with foreign diplomatic missions and consulates in Canada.

Passport

The type of passport you use for travel determines the entry requirements that apply to you. Before traveling, contact your transportation company to find out about passport requirements.

Greenland Healthcare

Greenland has both public and private hospitals. While the quality of healthcare in the autonomous Danish territory is appreciable, medical treatment could be expensive. Some hospitals may also require cash payments. So, you need to travel with enough money to cover potential costs and the right Greenland travel insurance for the coverage you need while in Greenland.

Greenland Travel Insurance News

Newfoundland and Labrador is notable for its awesome coastlines, rugged scenery and plentiful wildlife but in 2017 it fell short of icebergs, its most important tourist attractions.

Robert Bartlett, owner and operator of Trinity Eco-Tours that specializes in whale watching and iceberg, said that he saw less than 10 icebergs since the province’s prime iceberg season began in May but in the previous years, he saw 40 and 50 at the same time.

Bartlett explained that the icebergs are there but they are way offshore. Newfoundland and Labrador’s tourism website said that 90% of icebergs that show up in the province’s coast come from western Greenland after breaking off glaciers and slipping into the sea.
