Rules in force · 7Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
  • Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
  • Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
  • Nordic countries ↗Decide light or dark before anything else: summer trips (June–August) and aurora trips (September–March in the Arctic) need different countries, clothes and bases.
  • Nordic countries ↗Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Faroes sell stronger alcohol only in state shops with short hours; buy before evening and before Sundays and holidays.
  • Faroe Islands ↗The Faroes are part of the Danish realm but outside the EU and Schengen: a Schengen visa is not automatically valid there. Check the Faroese and Danish official sources for your passport.
  • Faroe Islands ↗Many popular trails cross private farmland and require a paid access fee or a guide; check before you walk and do not cross fences.
  • Faroe Islands ↗Subsea tunnels charge tolls; hire cars are usually registered for automatic billing, but ask when you pick up the car.
